A PHOTO has emerged that could prove Madeleine McCann is alive and being held in Morocco.
Interpol is investigating the picture of a very frightened blonde girl being carried by a gang of Moroccans.
It was taken from a car window by a Spanish couple in Zinzat, in the north of the African country on August 31.
The group was walking along a road in the direction of Tangiers and the blonde head of the little girl can be seen behind a woman's shoulder.

Could the girl in this picture be Madeleine McCann? asks the Mail

The Telegraph reports that

Clara Torres said: "We were going from Chaouen to Tetuan and I was taking photos of everything we saw, and as soon as I took this photo we were struck by the little girl, who was very blonde.
"Then we heard on the news that there were various people who said they had seen Madeleine in Morocco.
"I ran to the computer, downloaded the photo and when, we saw it, we realised yes, it could be her. It sent shivers down my spine. The [Spanish] police took a CD with all the photos we had taken.

Both the Guardian and the Independent lead on the demonstrations in Burma

Burma: The world watches says the Independent

Amid mounting concern that Burma's military rulers are preparing to launch a bloody crackdown on the thousands who have defied warnings to end their pro-democracy demonstrations, Gordon Brown has threatened to impose tighter sanctions on Burma. As troops and armed police flooded into the centre of Rangoon yesterday, the Prime Minister asked the European Union to extend its sanctions against the regime. He ordered his officials to draw up a list of measures that Britain could impose unilaterally if the EU fails to act.

The Guardian carries an interview with a protester who says

"The whole place is rife with rumours the government's going to arrest protesters. That's why I moved from place to place. Close friends of mine have been picked up, either on the street at protests or when the authorities make 'guestlist checks'. Everyone who's got someone staying in their home must register them with the local authority. If they're discovered and they're not on the list, they'll get arrested.

More election speculation,the Mail leads with the latest opinion polls which say that

Women voters turn to Brown giving Labour 11-point lead

It is the party's biggest lead since the weeks following its 2005 election victory, and the strongest since Mr Brown took over as leader. Among women voters, the gap is even more dramatic at 16 percentage points.
The findings, in a YouGov survey for Channel Four News, are a shattering blow to David Cameron ahead of his conference in Blackpool next week, which is increasingly being seen as a make-orbreak-test of his leadership.

Labour prepares its activists for a snap election

Gordon Brown came under mounting pressure yesterday to call a snap election this autumn as a new opinion poll put Labour 11 points ahead of the Tories.
Another bout of election fever gripped the Labour conference in Bournemouth, where delegates were put on full alert for an early poll and issued with a 96-page "campaign toolkit".

The Guardian reports on David Milliband's speach to conference

Miliband: We have alienated millions of Muslims over Iraq

David Miliband, the foreign secretary, yesterday attempted a break with a decade of Blairite foreign policy, admitting a scarred government needed to stop and think why its well-intentioned interventions had alienated millions of Muslims.
In a frank speech, he also admitted there could be no military solutions in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying the government had found it hard to win peace in such countries. He repeatedly said the government needed to learn lessons as it launched a second wave of foreign policy in which there would be greater reliance on stronger multilateral institutions.

Although the Sun is less happy

Silly Mili's Euro poll snub

FOREIGN Secretary David Miliband flatly ignored the growing clamour for a referendum on the European Constitution yesterday.
As thousands of Sun readers backed our campaign for a vote, Mr Miliband simply side-stepped the issue in his speech to the Labour conference in Bournemouth.
During a wooden and stilted performance, he made no effort to explain why Labour has broken its manifesto promise to give British voters a say.

And the sketch writers are non too complimentary either

David Miliband is showing the strain says the Telegraph

We know some people were worried by the Foreign Secretary's odd appearance, and particularly by his decision to wear what looked like a furry bathing cap on his head.
Anxiety was also expressed about the ponderous way in which he spoke, with no trace of his fabled lightness of touch, and nothing that could be called a joke. But we in the Miliband campaign always knew that life as a political prisoner in Gordon Brown's Britain was going to be hard.

President defies UN by declaring nuclear debate closed says the Guardian

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yesterday declared debate over Iran's nuclear programme "closed" - signalling continued defiance of UN resolutions calling for the programme's suspension.
In the Iranian president's address to the UN general assembly, he said that Iran viewed its nuclear industry as an "ordinary" technical matter for the oversight of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Mr Ahmadinejad shrugged off UN resolutions calling for a halt to uranium enrichment, arguing that the security council had been hijacked by major powers to pursue their own interests.

The Indy asks

Is America right to demonise President Ahmadinejad of Iran?

Britain ‘is the laughing stock of Europe’ for its neglect of allergy cures

An epidemic of allergic diseases is sweeping Britain while treatments languish and people’s lives are blighted, according to an influential House of Lords committee.
Britain is “the laughing stock of Europe” for its neglect of treatments that work and are routinely used elsewhere, said Baroness Finlay of Llandaff, who chaired an investigation by the Science and Technology Committee.
Allergies – which include hay fever, asthma, some skin conditions and peanut allergy – are often poorly diagnosed by GPs, who lack facilities to which they can refer patients for proper testing. As a result, many allergy patients go untreated while others go through life convinced that they are suffering from allergies they do not have.

Killer may face Genette murder charge

Child killer Robert Black could soon be charged with the murder of 13-year-old papergirl Genette Tate, who vanished 29 years ago.

A petrol receipt placed him in the area a week before Genette vanished. In the other case, Jennifer Cardy, nine, was riding her bike when she was abducted, killed and dumped in a layby in Northern Ireland in 1981.

At last, however, one store chain has decided to fight back against the space invaders.

Mrs Kendrick hadn't forgotten her duties as a hostess. As she was taken to hospital as a precaution, she yelled: "The rhubarb crumble's in the fridge!"
