Potter star stabbed to death says the former

HARRY POTTER star Robert Knox was stabbed to death desperately trying to protect his little brother, the News of the World can reveal.
Robert, 18, waded in to defend 16-year-old Jamie after they and a group of friends were confronted in a bar by a crazed attacker armed with two knives.

The Express says

Robert Knox, 18, had just finished work on Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, which is due to be released later this year.
In the film he plays Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby.
He was stabbed to death in a fight outside a bar in leafy Sidcup, Kent, early this morning.
He was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich, south east London, where he was pronounced dead. Four other men were also hurt in the fight.

Mr Knox was a member of the same rugby club as Jimmy Mizen, the 16-year-old "gentle giant" fatally stabbed in nearby Lee, south-east London, two weeks ago.

Labour chiefs tell Brown: appoint a leader-in-waiting

Gordon Brown would be forced to appoint a deputy who could be swiftly groomed as his successor under humiliating last-ditch plans being discussed by ministers to patch up his failing administration.
Senior figures are holding emergency talks on ways to stop what one called the 'haemorrhaging' of power from New Labour amid signs that Brown is losing control of his party. Rumours swept Westminster yesterday that one senior cabinet minister has begun raising money for a potential leadership bid, while up to 40 backbench MPs are said to be ready to back a challenge.

The foreign secretary has confided to friends that he is prepared to stand for the leadership if a critical mass of backbenchers turn against Gordon Brown.

The Independent though has the headline Reality Check-the election is two long years away

Mr Cruddas told friends last night he is "not interested" in becoming a stalking horse – although he has not ruled out putting himself forward in an open contest.

City bonuses defy credit crunch and hit new record of £13bn is the main story in the Telegraph

A Telegraph analysis of government figures shows how bonuses for City workers and other financial services professionals have continued to soar, exceeding previous records by more than £500 million.
The recent annual awards were mostly triggered by large profits made early in 2007, before the credit crunch hit, but will fuel a growing row over whether bankers are encouraged to take excessive risks with investors' money.

Britain counts the cost of rise in dementia reports the Independent

Britain's health and social care systems are likely to be driven into meltdown by the spiralling cost of dementia, a major health report will warn this week. Experts fear that unless action is taken now to develop more effective treatments, some public services will face collapse.

The number of people with dementia will increase by 61 per cent to 937,636, imposing a major burden on social services and families.

Grant becomes the 'axed one'

It took only three days for the axe to fall: Chelsea yesterday parted company with their manager Avram Grant after terminating the Israeli's contract.
Grant's future had been a matter of debate almost from the moment he inherited the Stamford Bridge reins from Jose Mourinho, and his eight-month tenure is now at an end following his side's defeat to Manchester United in the final of the Champions' League on Wednesday. Despite the constant questioning of his position at the club, he has been credited with doing a fine job in taking United to the final day of the Premier League title race and narrowly missing out on European glory on penalties.

The Telegraph adds

There were strong reports earlier today that Grant would be replaced with the Israeli reportedly having said his goodbyes to the Chelsea players before the weekend, telling them what a "privilege" it has been working with them.

Finally the battle of Cherie and Campbell moves to Hay on Wye as the Observer reports

Public skirmishes between Alastair Campbell and Cherie Blair escalated into a battle this weekend. The former Labour spin doctor has accused the wife of his former employer, Tony Blair, of a series of inaccuracies in her recent autobiography. In a letter to The Times yesterday he alleged that quotes attributed to him in the newspaper's serialisation of Speaking For Myself were not correct.
Cherie Blair retaliated yesterday by attacking Campbell's famous disapproval of her friendship with Carole Caplin, a former topless model. She pointed out that her husband's former right-hand man had misspent his own youth. In a spirited defence of her reliance on Caplin, her close friend and personal trainer during her time in Downing Street, she said: 'People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.'
