The Independent asks Can the bank's £50b save the economy on its front page

This is the biggest line of credit the Treasury and Bank of England have ever given to the British banking system. It is more extensive than the help being given to banks by the monetary authorities in the United States and Europe. It is happening because the supply of mortgages is drying up, threatening a collapse in house prices. And it may not be enough. To see what is happening, and why, you have to appreciate that the banks do not have enough funds of their own to meet the demand for mortgages.

Contrite Gordon Brown fails to sway rebels is the top story in the Telegraph

The Prime Minister made an unscheduled appearance before more than 200 Labour MPs at a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) in Westminster in an attempt to avert a damaging Commons rebellion next week.Insisting that he understood the pressures on ordinary families, Mr Brown said: "I understand how difficult it is when food prices and fuel prices are rising. It is difficult out there and I understand that. People want to know we get it and understand their anxieties."
The Labour rebels - who are thought to number at least 50 - said that Mr Brown's concessions would not come soon enough. They fear that the decision to scrap the rate could lead to Labour being punished severely in next week's local elections

You're dragging us to the edge, Labour rebels warned

Gordon Brown moved last night to puncture a potentially ruinous backbench budget rebellion with a contrite address to Labour MPs and a promise to hold a review before autumn of the impact of the abolition of the 10p tax rate.
Faced by signs of growing unrest, the prime minister hastily rearranged his diary to speak to a packed weekly meeting of the parliamentary Labour party, and immediately struck an emollient tone after two weeks of bruising argument with MPs. He told MPs he had "got" their message, but said they could not vote down a Labour budget because it would undermine the party in next week's local elections.

Cameron's lead cut in latest ICM poll

Labour has survived attacks over 10p tax and Gordon Brown's credibility as prime minister, according to a Guardian/ICM poll published today. It suggests that the Conservative party has failed to establish a secure election-winning lead, with support for the opposition party falling while Labour has gained.
The poll, carried out over the weekend as Gordon Brown returned from his three-day visit to America, puts support for Labour on 34%, up five points from last month's Guardian poll. Conservative support, at 39%, is down three points. The Liberal Democrats, at 19%, are down two points on last month.

It has been available, in a limited way, for some years since its powerful effects on cancer and leprosy were identified.
But campaigners, including those damaged by the drug when they were still in the womb, are anxious that its new-found popularity does not lead to more babies being harmed.

Clinton warned: win decisively or it's over says the Guardian

Barack Obama yesterday effectively conceded he will not win today's Democratic primary in Pennsylvania, but hinted he expected to do well enough to cast doubt on Hillary Clinton's ability to stay in the race.
Obama, who has established an almost unassailable lead in the contest, told Pittsburgh radio station KDKA he did not anticipate emerging victorious from Pennsylvania. But he said: "I'm predicting it's going to be close and that we are going to do a lot better than people expect."
Clinton, after a string of defeats, needs more than just victory to resuscitate her campaign: she must win by 10 percentage points or more to convince the Democratic leadership she should stay in the race.

After six bruising weeks since their last contest, a period in which Mrs Clinton was caught telling a false story about landing in Bosnia under sniper fire and Mr Obama has suffered controversy involving his former pastor and comments he made about working-class voters, both rivals accused each other of negative, dishonest and demeaning tactics.

Finally the Times reports on Britain's most valuable tree

A plane in Mayfair has been valued at £750,000, making it Britain’s most valuable tree.
The valuation of the 6ft-wide tree, which has graced Berkeley Square since Victorian times, is based on a new system devised by local authority tree officers. It takes into account size, health, historical significance and the number of people living near by to enjoy it.
This valuation system, known as the capital asset value for amenity trees (Cavat), is to be adopted by every local authority in the country to prevent the massacre of trees blamed for subsidence in buildings.
