No doubting the main news this morning as both the tabloids and the qualities are dominated by the McCanns after yesterday's developments.

From anguished parent, to grieving mother, to suspect is the lead in the Independent


If Kate McCann were seeking some consolation this week, as she began preparing to return home from the Portuguese resort that will define the rest of her life, then perhaps it was the belief that no catastrophe could ever come close to what she has experienced in the place where her family arrived for a week's peace and sunshine, 138 days ago. But, in a single, breathtaking moment yesterday, the world learnt there were to be no such certainties for the mother of Madeleine McCann. Shortly before 11am, Mrs McCann's spokeswoman, Justine McGuinness, revealed that the 39-year-old GP was being made an arguida – official suspect – in the case. And then she uttered the six short words which will be inconceivable to some who have followed this case and a confirmation of long-held suspicions to others. "Kate fears she will be charged," Ms McGuinness said.

Both Madeleine parents now declared suspects says the Guardian

Detectives investigating the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann early today told her parents that they were both now formally suspected of involvement in their daughter's death. Yesterday they apparently offered her mother, Kate, a deal if she confessed to accidentally killing the child.

We have found her blood in the boot of your hire car.. DID YOU KILL HER BY ACCIDENT? headlines the Mirror

Shattered Gerry and Kate McCann BOTH declared suspects says the Mail

In a day of extraordinary developments, detectives alleged that Mrs McCann accidentally gave Madeleine a fatal overdose of sedative and then engaged with her husband in a monumental cover-up of her death. It also emerged that Mrs McCann had been offered a plea bargain deal - to confess in exchange for a "light" sentence.
In an angry confrontation which lasted more than four hours at police headquarters in Portimao, detectives finally demanded: "Tell us what you've done with her."

CONFESS AND YOU'RE OUT IN A YEAR says the Sun

KATE McCann was urged to admit killing daughter Madeleine in a sick plea bargain deal offered to her by cops.
They told her in a police station showdown during two stormy days of interrogation: “Do a year for accidental death and your family can go home.”
In the highly-charged confrontation, Portuguese officers citing forensic evidence told the GP she would receive a jail sentence of between two and three years if she signed a confession.

The Telegraph carries an interview with Kate McCann's mother

"Anybody who knows Kate and Gerry knows it is absolutely ludicrous; I just can't describe it any other way.
"Kate and Gerry are relying on the Portuguese police but there is an uncomfortable feeling that they are not necessarily looking outwards for Madeleine but towards them."There are some questions which the Portuguese police are not allowed to ask unless the suspect has been charged.

The developments have relegated the re appearance of Osama Bin Laden

Osama bin Laden tells US to convert to Islam reports the Telegraph

The 30-minute recording contains several references to recent political events, including the appointment of Gordon Brown as prime minister and the election of Nicolas Sarkozy in France.
It is the clearest indication yet that bin Laden is still alive, despite being hunted by the US military for nearly six years with a $25 million bounty on his head.
The video shows bin Laden sitting at a table dressed in white and cream robes and wearing a white hat. Beneath him, a banner reads in English: "A message from Sheikh Osama bin Laden to the American people."

Wanted: dyed and alive. Bin Laden reappears – and he’s had a makeover reports the Times
Devoid of overt threats, it was the terror mastermind’s physical appearance, however, rather than the tape’s message, that caught the attention of security experts. Bin Laden has been on the run for six years, hiding in some of the most inhospitable parts of the world with a £25 million price on his head. But to judge by the latest pictures, he still has time to trim and dye his beard.

Adding that

American security experts suggested last night that bin Laden’s beard in the latest images, thicker and lacking the grey hairs of three years ago, might be false. This could indicate that the world’s most wanted man had gone clean-shaven to conceal his identity, terror experts speculated.

Bush confuses Austria with Australia as bin Laden joker crashes party reports the Mail

Addressing an audience in Sydney, the U.S. president referred to Australian troops as Austrians and became confused about which event he is there to attend.
He also got tongue-tied over the name of an Asian terrorist group and came close to coming a cropper when he walked the wrong way off a platform

On a more serious note

Bush offers North Korea a deal to end the world's oldest cold war says the Guardian

Prodded into the commitment during a testy exchange with South Korea's president, Roh Moo-hyun, on the eve of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit in Sydney, Mr Bush said he would reward North Korea with a security arrangement that would replace the armistice signed at the end of the Korean war in 1953, which had cost 4 million lives.

There is more election speculation in the papers this morning

Tories draft emergency manifesto fearing autumn poll says the Guardian

Conservative officials have drafted an emergency election manifesto in the face of continuing evidence that Gordon Brown may call an autumn election, the Guardian has learned.
The party admits it is having to short-circuit normal procedure for fear David Cameron will be left exposed by an election that could be called within three weeks.
The draft is said by those who have seen it to be a sharp distillation of the party's six main policy papers. It was demanded by Mr Cameron before a Populus poll this week calmed some Tory nerves by showing Mr Brown had a lead of a single point. The Tories had planned to prepare a draft programme next year.

Meanwhile the Independent reports

Cameron launches fightback as another Tory agrees to become Labour adviser

David Cameron has hit back after a week of renewed criticism of his leadership, insisting that he would not make a "false choice" between traditional values and modernisation.
He attempted to stage a fightback with a highly personal speech after a summer marred by party in-fighting, defending his belief that the party could combine support for marriage and gay rights as well as promoting both wealth creation and quality of life.
But his initiative was overshadowed yesterday as it was confirmed that a millionaire businessman, Johan Eliasch, had become the third senior Conservative to become an adviser to Gordon Brown.


Most of the papers carry the reports on the foot and mouth outbreak

Foot and mouth pipes leaked for four years says the Telegraph

Two investigations published yesterday accused the Government-run laboratory at Pirbright of "complacency".
They highlighted inadequate drainage facilities, which allowed the virus to infect the surrounding soil, and a failure to control the movement from the site of lorries, which spread the disease to fields nearby.
The findings caused anger in the farming industry, which lost an estimated £100 million as a result of the outbreak last month. It is understood that the leaking pipe could have been repaired for £50,000.

Pipe repair for £50,000 could have prevented foot-and-mouth disease says the Times

Staying with the Times,the paper follows up its exclusive yesterday with

Two faces of British youth in thrall to sinister Muslim sect

Yasir is 19, comes from Rotherham, supports Liverpool FC and is studying Islam in a Pakistani madrassa that will teach him to hate the West.
There are two reasons why he should not be in a Deobandi seminary in the teeming, dusty backstreets of Karachi. The first is that Pakistan banned all foreign students from its religious schools in 2005 after it emerged that two of the bombers responsible for the July 7 attacks on London that year had spent time in the country.
And the second? Yasir is miserable. He told The Times last month that he was desperate to “get home”, was struggling to cope with life in Karachi and uncomfortable with the seminary’s anti-Western agenda.


Tony Blair's peace quest isn't paying the bills says the Telegraph

Unlike other members of the ex-prime ministers' club, Mr Blair has carved out a role which guarantees him a place on the international stage for years to come, saving him from the cruel obscurity suffered by such great leaders as Margaret Thatcher.
But when he returns at the end of next week to his £4.5 million home in Connaught Square, west London, Mr Blair may have to put aside the small matter of finding a solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict and switch his attention to another intractable mystery - his personal finances.

Mother sobs as girl, 14, who stabbed her sister to death is jailed reports the Mail

A mother wept yesterday as her daughter of 14 was put behind bars for stabbing her 16-year- old sister to death with a carving knife.
The killer, who admitted manslaughter, was cleared of murder after a jury accepted she was provoked by the other girl during an argument at home.
The judge at Bradford Crown Court gave her a three-and-a-half year sentence but she is expected to be detained for only half that time.
Outside court, her mother said the girl faced a "life sentence" for what she had done and argued that she should have been allowed to return home to rebuild her life.


Jailed for E.coli hell reports the Mirror

The boss of a schools dinner supplier was jailed for a year yesterday for providing meat which killed one boy and poisoned 108.

William Tudor, 56, caused the second biggest E.coli outbreak by mixing cooked and raw meat.
Prosecutor Graham Walters said: "There was blood on trays and workers were wiping it off as they packed cooked meat."
Schoolboy Mason Jones, five, fell ill and died. John Tudor and Son in Bridgend, South Wales, was shut after the outbreak in September 2005.
Tudor admitted seven food safety charges.

'Hoodie' aged four

A girl of four was ordered to take the hood off her woolly cardigan at an amusement arcade.
Karen Lewis was enjoying the games with her disabled mum Cheryl and grandad when she was approached by a worker.
Astonished Cheryl, 36, said: "It's ludicrous. What's the world coming to if a four-year-old is told to remove her cardigan as if she was a hoodie. We weren't posing any threat."
Les Harker, who owns the arcade in Rhyl, Denbighshire, said: "We have CCTV and the house policy is we need to see everyone's face."


Prince Harry in snapper rage reports the Sun

FURIOUS Prince Harry flies into a violent rage at a photographer yesterday, screaming: “I’ll punch you in the f***ing face.”
Harry spotted the snapper as the prince chased after girlfriend Chelsy Davy, 21, in the early hours.
One onlooker said: “Harry totally flipped out. He was screaming at him and kept shouting, ‘I’ll punch you in the f***ing face’ while the photographer looked on stunned. At one point Harry ran straight for him.”

The Mail meanwhile asks

Will Harrry and Chelsy's affair survive her two-year stay in Britain?

Left alone to flounder in the midst of a pack of press photographers, with no sign of her boyfriend Prince Harry, who was meant to be meeting her, the flustered 21-year-old could have been forgiven for wheeling her suitcase into a sharp U-turn and taking the next flight back home to Zimbabwe.
In the end, Prince Harry did turn up (he'd gone to Terminal 4 by mistake) to be greeted by an earbashing from the young woman he left waiting for a humiliating 30 minutes at Heathrow's bustling Terminal 1.

Where you live can be crucial to your future

Britain is becoming increasingly segregated across all age groups by wealth, health, education and other factors, according to a pioneering atlas based on people rather than geography. The cradle-to-grave "atlas of identity", to be published on Monday, provides a visual representation of the stark social contrasts now dividing different areas of Britain, and even adjoining neighbourhoods.
It shows how the area in which an individual lives can be a strong predictor of their identity not only in terms of class but also health, family structure and likely lifespan. It can even reveal the likelihood that a person is divorced - divorcees are clearly clustered along the south coast, possibly because property there is cheaper and the population is older - and when they are likely to have their first child. Women in the affluent south-east are generally much more likely to be older when they give birth.
