The Homecoming says the Independent as most of the papers lead with the McCann's return to the Uk.

The eyes of the world might have been on their homecoming, but the end-of-holiday mundanities were the same as any when Kate and Gerry McCann tried to put Portugal behind them on their return to Leicestershire yesterday.
First, there were their two-year-old twins to stir from half-sleep after the drive home from the airport. It was left to Kate to unbuckle Amelie and carry her to the oak front door which the GP had last passed through joyfully, with three children in tow and a beach holiday in sight, on a spring day more than three months ago.

The Mirror reports that

Kate weeps in Maddy's room

Kate McCann sobbed in despair as she sat alone in daughter Madeleine's pink-painted bedroom yesterday.
The 39-year-old mum insisted on entering the room after flying home with husband Gerry, 39, and twins Sean and Amelie, two.
Gerry's mum Eileen, 67, said: "It was traumatic for her. I imagine she said a prayer."

The same paper saying

'Best thing for McCanns is for them to be charged'

being named as official suspects brings their plight into focus.

Now the avalanche of rumours, slurs, whispers, smears and falsehoods that have filled the Portuguese media and the worldwide internet, have been given a form of official credibility.
Now, every bar-room bore who took the stance from day one that they were "in on it" wears a smug grin.

The Sun headlines the Anger of Maddie Dad "we've been set up I've had enough.Let's go home"

The paper claims

Portuguese police told mum Kate to admit killing the tot — or lose her two-year-old TWINS.
Officers threatened to jail both the GP and husband Gerry for a year without trial if Kate did not sign a confession.
They told the mum that, unless she agreed, they would charge both her AND cardiologist Gerry over vanished Maddie’s death.And they would refuse them bail until a trial — which would take at least a year to come to court

The Times stays with the same theme

McCanns fly home to fight their case.

The parents of Madeleine McCann felt compelled to make an impassioned declaration of their innocence yesterday, as they returned to Britain under a darkening cloud of suspicion.
“We have played no part in the disappearance of our lovely daughter, Madeleine,” Gerry McCann said moments after stepping off a flight from Portugal.

Both the Mail and the Express are less optimistic,the former reporting that
Kate and Gerry McCann should be charged with killing their daughter Madeleine and covering up the evidence, Portuguese police insist.
Despite serious questions about the investigation and reliability of forensic evidence, the distraught couple fear their emotional return to Britain yesterday might be brief.
Detectives claim tests by forensic scientists in Birmingham support the theory that she came to harm in the couple's holiday apartment on the night of May 3.

We can prove parents did it says the Express

Detectives now expect to receive further forensic evidence gathered from the McCanns’ ground-floor apartment at the Ocean Club complex today or tomorrow.
A source close to the Policia Judiciaria said they were expecting the results from the latest batch of tests to clinch their case against the couple.

McCanns could wait a year to clear their name says the Telegraph

Only it and the Guardian lead with stories other than the McCanns.

Brown is facing twin assault by unions headlines the Telegraph

The Prime Minister's honeymoon with his party looks certain to come to an abrupt halt when he addresses his union critics for the first time as Labour leader at the Trades Union Congress in Brighton.Heads of some of the biggest unions representing public sector workers, including Whitehall civil servants and local government staff, said their members were so incensed at Mr Brown's sub-inflation pay offer that there was "no alternative" but to ballot for strike action.

A theme followed in the Independent which reports

PM warned of autumn of discontent as unions threaten strikes over wages

Gordon Brown faces a damaging showdown with union leaders, who warned yesterday of an autumn of discontent over public sector pay and threatened to defy the Government and demand a referendum on European reform. The leaders of hundreds of thousands of public sector workers warned that ministers faced strike action over below inflation pay deals if they did not give ground on Mr Brown's 2 per cent ceiling on wage deals.
The Prime Minister also appears to be heading for a collision with the unions over Europe, with motions calling for a referendum on the EU reform treaty winning heavyweight backing from some of the largest Labour affiliates. Mr Brown will address congress for the first time as Prime Minister today amid strong warnings about discontent in public services.

Meanwhile the Guardian reports that

Brown plans new migrant controls to get unskilled Britons back to work

Gordon Brown will today try to quell union anger at the growing insecurity of the British workforce due to migration of cheap and casualised foreign labour by promising to find an "extra 500,000 British jobs for British workers".
The patriotic message to be delivered in his first speech to the TUC as prime minister is also intended to head off recent moves by David Cameron to warn that the scale of recent immigration from within and outside the EU has damaged the country.

It leads though with the news that

Men who buy sex could face prosecution

Ministers are considering proposals to prosecute men for buying sex in a new effort to curb the demand for prostitution, the Guardian has learned.
Senior members of the government are discussing whether to criminalise the purchase, rather than sale, of sex - as Sweden did eight years ago - in part because of the growth in sex trafficking. According to the government, 85% of women in brothels come from outside the UK.

The Times reports that

Family doctors will be asked to work evenings and weekends

GPs will be asked to work in the evening and at weekends after the Government indicated that it is to reopen the contentious issue of out-of-hours care by family doctors, The Times has learnt.
Alan Johnson, the Health Secretary, will tell doctors this week that it is ludicrous that surgeries shut their doors as people leave work and that GPs, whose average salary now tops £100,000, must become more flexible and “customer orientated”.

US 'delayed UK pull-out from Basra'

The split between the UK and the US over Iraq was further inflamed last night after a senior British officer claimed troops could have withdrawn from Basra Palace five months ago if America had not issued a plea for them to stay.The Army's commander in Iraq said American pressure caused them to stay in the exposed outpost, after which 11 soldiers were killed and 62 wounded in months of intense fighting.Brigadier James Bashall, the commander of 1 Mechanised Brigade, told The Daily Telegraph that the force could have come out of Basra Palace in April "but politics prevented that".

The surge must go on, Petraeus to tell Congress reports the Guardian

The Bush administration's most senior advisers on Iraq, the commander of US forces, General David Petraeus, and the ambassador to Baghdad, Ryan Crocker, will launch a new drive today to defer any exit of troops until April 2008 amid growing doubts about their credibility in Congress and among the public.
In two days of testimony before Congress, Gen Petraeus and Mr Crocker will make the case for the White House that America should maintain the current strategy and force levels in Iraq.

Under siege: what the surge really means in Baghdad reports the Independent

for many Iraqis, the Americans have turned their land into a prison. The barriers, which have turned Baghdad into a series of ghettos, are meant to keep the bombers out, but they also keep residents penned in. People may feel safer inside their neighbourhoods, but are more wary of venturing outside them. A short journey across the city can take hours with roads blocked off and numerous checkpoints, discouraging people from visiting relations and friends and reinforcing the sense of isolation.

Many of the papers report on the

£1m blitz to target gang hotspots

Undercover operations and surveillance against members will take place in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool.
There will also be more officers on streets plus extra protection for victims and witnesses, including safe houses.
The Tackling Gangs Action Programme has been launched in the wake of the shooting of Rhys Jones, 11, in Liverpool.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said: "Recent tragic events have made us ask if we are doing all we can to tackle serious crime involving guns and gangs.

The Mail meanwhile claims that

EU wants to get rid of the Queen from our passports

Mention of the Queen could be removed from British passports and replaced by a page explaining why all EU citizens are entitled to use our embassies abroad, it emerged yesterday.
Current UK passports contain a traditional message from the British sovereign printed inside the front cover requesting 'assistance and protection' for the holder anywhere in the world 'in the Name of Her Majesty'.
But the time-honoured passage could be dropped as a result of the new European Treaty - which critics claim is simply a repackaged version of the discredited EU Constitution.

Arrest of Israeli neo-Nazi gang shocks Jewish State

Israeli police have broken up a neo-Nazi cell that had been carrying out attacks on religious Jews, homosexuals, drug addicts and workers, in a case that has shocked the Jewish State.
The youths, who had Nazi tattoos and allegedly celebrated Adolf Hitler’s birthday, belonged to Soviet Jewish families who had immigrated to Israel under its law of return, which allows people with at least one Jewish grandparent to become Israeli citizens.

New Yorkers squabble over 9/11 tributes reports the Telegraph

Brushing aside the city's famous unity during the tragedy, accusations have flown that some politicians - namely Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Rudolph Giuliani, his predecessor - are using the terrorist attack for presidential grandstanding.
But more fundamentally, there are signs that "9/11 fatigue" is growing and that some New Yorkers believe that public mourning has gone on long enough.

Al-Qaida says it carried out Algerian bombings reports the Guardian

At least 30 people died on Saturday and 50 were injured when a hijacked delivery van packed with explosives smashed through a barrier at a coastguard barracks at Dellys, east of Algiers. The bombing appeared timed to kill as many officers as possible, when they were grouped together to raise the national flag.
Last Thursday, 22 people were killed and more than 100 wounded when a man detonated a bomb in a crowd waiting to meet President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in Batna, also east of the capital. That was an apparent assassination attempt, but the attacker was spotted by the crowd, and set off the device before Mr Bouteflika arrived. Algerian security named the man as Bellazrak Houari, 20, and said he had been on their wanted list since 2006.

Health and safety: Convicts should not wear fluorescent jackets - to protect their feelings

Convicted criminals working in the community are to be barred from wearing fluorescent jackets because their feelings might be hurt if passers-by hurl abuse, it emerged last night.
Government officials are worried about the health and safety of burglars and thugs if they can be identified as they carry out their punishments.
In a spectacular U-turn, probation staff have been told to stop putting up signs saying street work is being carried out by convicts - or forcing them to wear bright yellow jackets branded 'Community Payback'.
