Secret papers disclose threat posed by killer

The Home Secretary believes that Philip Lawrence’s killer poses a “continuing risk to the public”, according to papers that the courts tried to prevent being published.
Learco Chindamo, now 26, has been rated as the highest level of risk and needs to be barred from parts of the country, the papers say.
But the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal rejected the Government’s argument in a ruling that makes clear it will be almost impossible to deport a serious criminal from an EU state if they have lived in Britain for more than five years.


As does the Guardian

Papers reveal truth behind decision not to deport killer

The papers seen by the Guardian show that the Home Office argued he should be sent back to Italy, a country he left aged six, because he would pose a "genuine and present high level of risk" on his release as his "notoriety" may cause a backlash to which he might react. As a result he might have to be excluded from certain parts of the country, it said.

BRITISH justice is kinder to a murdering Italian thug than it is to his victim’s widow

The Independent's front page takes a different line

The case for redemption?

But should Learco Chindamo be given a second chance in British society?

Prison reports show that the 26-year-old Londoner has made excellent progress and in many ways has become a model example ofcustodial rehabilitation. Those who have worked with him during his sentence regard him as a model prisoner who is very unlikely to re-offend.
His solicitor, Nigel Leskin, said last night: "He is a genuinely reformed person and one of the best prisoners the prison has had. He knows he made a terrible mistake and regrets it very much."

The Maddy case continues to concern both the Mirror and the Express,both lead with

McCann's told: Don't go home

According to the Mirror

More than one person is likely to have kidnapped Madeleine McCann, police announced yesterday.
Their belief emerged as Kate and Gerry McCann were warned not to leave Portugal amid hopes of a dramatic and imminent breakthrough in the 15-week hunt.
Police spokesman Olegario Sousa said: "It's natural that in a crime of this nature more than one person took part.
"If it was committed by one person, it would be more difficult to resolve the case because only he or she knows what they did."
He said police decided more than a month ago that Madeleine, four, was probably dead.

The Sun though taking a different slant

Police spokesman Olegario Sousa raised hopes of a breakthrough in the 111-day case.
But confusingly, he also admitted for the first time that the Portuguese cops may close Maddie’s file.

Money down the drain is the lead in the Mail

Homebuyers are being hit by a double whammy because of concerns over "worthless" Home Information Packs.
Major mortgage lenders, including HSBC and Barclays, are unwilling to trust local authority searches contained in the packs put together by sellers.
They are telling buyers to pay for their own searches - which include information on drainage, planning applications and building consents - through their solicitor.
This means tens of thousands of homeowners in a chain - about 80 per cent of the market - are having to pay out twice.

CIA blew chances to spot 9/11 threat, says report

As many as 60 people within the CIA read a cable referring to two of the 19 hijackers involved in the attacks on America on September 11 2001 before the event, yet the information was not shared with the parts of the organisation able to do anything about it, according to the agency's own internal investigation.
The revelation is one of several damning findings from the CIA's own watchdog, the inspector general, drawn up in June 2005. He accuses the CIA's top officials in the run-up to 9/11, including the then director, George Tenet, of failure to devise a strategic plan to counter Osama bin Laden in advance of the attacks.

George Bush hints Iraqi PM must go reports the Telegraph

Speaking at a trade summit in Canada, Mr Bush said: "There's a certain level of frustration with the leadership in general.
"The fundamental question is, will the government respond to the demands of the people? And if the government doesn't respond to the demands of the people, they will replace the government.
"That's up to the Iraqis to make that decision, not American politicians." adding that

Hours earlier Ryan Crocker, the US ambassador to Baghdad, described Iraq's political progress as "extremely disappointing".

For 12 years, Zahoor Shah had tended the roses in the compound, hidden away the silver and barred fighters from entering. It took the British some hours before they could persuade him that the rightful owners had finally returned.

Russia steps up military expansion

Vladimir Putin announced ambitious plans to revive Russia's military power and restore its role as the world's leading producer of military aircraft yesterday.
Speaking at the opening of the largest airshow in Russia's post-Soviet history, the president said he was determined to make aircraft manufacture a national priority after decades of lagging behind the west.
The remarks follow his decision last week to resume long-range missions by strategic bomber aircraft capable of hitting the US with nuclear weapons. Patrols over the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic began last week for the first time since 1992.

Escalating cost of Eastern Europeans living off the state hits £125m reports the Mail

Benefit claims by Eastern Europeans have almost trebled in the past year, official figures show.
The cost of the payouts - to almost 112,000 migrants - is put at £125million a year.
The Home Office figures mean that one in six of an estimated 683,000 Eastern European incomers is living off the state to some extent.
A year ago, only 42,620 were claiming benefits. as does the Express

BENEFITS BILL FOR EU MIGRANTS TREBLES

The Home Office admitted some of the burden is because migrants are now forming families over here. In a separate blow, Ministers were accused of letting asylum run out of control as figures showed that the backlog of failed applicants is growing, not reducing. Ministers were also criticised for not having up-to-date figures on overall net migration.

Cameron's NHS dodgy dossier reports the Mirror

Bungling David Cameron went on an NHS offensive yesterday with a list of 29 hospitals "facing cuts" - only for 15 of them to tell him he had his facts wrong.
The Tory leader produced his dodgy dossier after promising Gordon Brown a "bare knuckle fight" on the NHS and launching a campaign to stop ward closures.
But embarrassingly, a member of Mr Cameron's Shadow Cabinet was the first to deny one of the hospitals was at risk.

The paper's leader saying

Oh how David Cameron must wish he had stayed on holiday in France.
The Tory leader returned this week to Britain, and the political fray, in much the same manner he left it - a lightweight increasingly looking out of his depth.

Mexico escapes devastation as Dean cools off reports the Guardian

Hurricane Dean barrelled across Mexico's Yucatan peninsula yesterday, felling trees and power lines, sending corrugated iron roofs flying through the air and threatening large areas with flooding as it headed for the country's main offshore oilfields.
But for all the destruction and the continued dangers, hopes were growing that catastrophe had been avoided. Dean entered Mexico early yesterday morning a category 5 hurricane - the highest on the Saffir-Simpson scale and the third strongest Atlantic storm to hit land on record.

How Ryanair's plane fails to beat the train

It was a promise bound to appeal to travellers: Ryanair will get you from London to Brussels faster and cheaper than the Eurostar.
The only problem, the advertising watchdog ruled yesterday, was that it was not true.
The budget airline has been banned from claiming that it was quicker and better value to take a plane rather than the train to the Belgian capital, after the Advertising Standards Authority upheld complaints that the promotion was misleading.
The decision prompted an angry response from Ryanair. It branded the ASA “Absolutely Stupid Asses” who “can’t add and, worse still, can’t subtract.

Dinosaurs are doing the rounds in most of the papers

Scientists reveal the moving secret of Tyrannosaurus rex on computer reports the Guardian

The most formidable dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus rex, could have chased down all but the fastest humans if they roamed the world today, British scientists claim.
The beast was capable of nearly 18mph, putting it fractionally quicker than a professional football player, but still lagging behind today's record-holding 100m sprinters who can exceed 20mph.
Researchers at Manchester University used powerful computers to model the skeletons and surrounding musculature of five meat-eating dinosaurs and three living species, including humans. Each virtual creature was then put through its paces to find the fastest running style and top speed. The computers used a technique called evolutionary robotics to work out the most likely gait of each creature, a process that took a week for each species. The results have produced what are believed to be the most accurate figures on dinosaurs' athletic abilities.
