MI5 linked to Max Mosley sex scandal

An MI5 officer has been forced to resign after admitting that his wife was a prostitute who took part in a notorious “Nazi-style orgy” with Max Mosley, the Formula One racing chief.
The intelligence officer, who cannot be named for security reasons, left the service last month after it emerged that his wife was one of the five call girls who took part in the sadomasochistic sex session with Mosley.
Exposure of the lurid orgy led to calls for Mosley, the son of Sir Oswald Mosley, the wartime British fascist leader, to step down from his post as president of the FIA, the governing body of world motor sport.

The Telegraph also features the story on its front page adding

The man was a surveillance operative with several years of service. His wife, 38, is believed to have approached the News of the World when she realised that Mr Mosley – a regular client – had booked five prostitutes for a sex session costing £2,500.

Thousands of women had four abortions

Figures uncovered by the Telegraph show that almost 4,000 women have had at least four abortions. In a "grotesquely bleak" picture of British society, scores of women have had at least eight terminations.
The figures emerged as the row over controversial changes to fertility law erupted into a bitter war of words, with a minister accusing "anti-abortion" MPs of trying to "hijack" legislation.

Brown says embryo research is key to life

Gordon Brown today mounts a passionate and personal defence of scientific research using animal-human hybrid embryos as an 'inherently moral endeavour' that could save millions of lives.
Writing in today's Observer, he challenges critics in the churches and elsewhere who condemn what they regard as 'Frankenstein science', arguing that MPs 'owe it to ourselves and future generations to introduce these measures' when they vote on controversial embryology legislation this week.

MRSA: The cure

A cure for MRSA appears to be within grasp after scientists claimed to have developed a drug that destroys the most virulent strains of the deadly superbug. The breakthrough by British researchers could save 1,600 lives a year and wipe out the highly infectious bacteria.
A landmark peer-reviewed study has found that in the lab MRSA does not develop resistance to the drug, as it does to antibiotics. Tests showed that the XF-73 "bacteriocidal" compound continued to destroy MRSA after repeated treatment, long past the stage when it would have become resistant to antibiotics.

Gordon Brown slumps as fightback flops and Tories take 20-point lead says the Times

With last week’s £2.7 billion tax cut and a raft of new measures in the draft Queen’s speech Brown hoped to improve his standing but the survey of more than 1,800 people by YouGov gives David Cameron’s Conservatives a 20-point lead over Labour, up four points on last month. It suggests the Tories are establishing commanding leads of the kind enjoyed by Tony Blair before Labour’s 1997 landslide.

Brown faces fresh crisis over tax as critical by-election looms

Gordon Brown is facing a fresh revolt over tax after government plans to penalise thousands of less-well-off motorists were pushed to the forefront of this week's critical Crewe by-election.
Rebel Labour backbenchers fear that plans to extend higher road taxes for gas-guzzling cars to models registered as long ago as 2001 will infuriate motorists on tight budgets, who bought older cars because they are cheaper, and who cannot afford to upgrade to cleaner engines. More than a dozen Labour MPs, including Kate Hoey, Ian Gibson and Peter Kilfoyle, who were at the forefront of the 10p tax revolt, have signed a Commons motion demanding a rethink

The Express says

A DIRTY tricks campaign by Labour activists in Crewe has been scrapped amid fears it could cost the Government the seat.

China earthquake: Struggle to cope with 'Biblical' devastation reports the Telegraph

In what used to be the village of Yong Anzhen on the road to Beichuan, Yang Jing Xun and his wife were sitting on a pile of twisted wood and crumpled bricks. "This is my house," said Mr Yang.
Every one of the basic homes in this tiny farming village in the mountains of western China’s Sichuan Province has been destroyed or left uninhabitable. "Be careful," Mr Yang warned, as part of the wall of one dwelling broke off and landed nearby. "The houses are still collapsing."

A tale of two disasters: China's rescue mission shames Burma says the Independent

An aftershock measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale shook Sichuan province last night, six days after China's worst earthquake in more than half a century killed at least 50,000 people in the mountainous region. In Chengdu, the provincial capital, people who fled into the darkened streets found themselves under assault by gale-force winds.
Earlier in the day more than a million people were hurriedly evacuated from Qingchuan, near the epicentre of the 7.9-magnitude quake on Monday. A lake had risen dangerously, threatening to burst its banks, drown anyone still alive under the ruins and halt a relief effort that had barely got started. The waters later receded, but it seemed that Sichuan was suffering a Biblical series of perils.

Tsvangirai calls off return after 'credible' assassination warning

Zimbabwe's opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, yesterday called off his scheduled return home because of what his party declared a "credible" assassination plot against him.

adding that

Since the 29 March election, when he pushed President Robert Mugabe into second place but fell short of an absolute majority, Mr Tsvangirai has spent most of his time abroad. He said he needed to rally international support against Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF government, but also admitted that he feared for his safety. The result of the presidential poll was withheld for nearly five weeks, amid increasing violence, before it was announced on Friday that the run-off would be held on 27 June.

Peace mission or costly PR stunt ... Just what has Blair delivered as £400,000-a-year Middle East envoy? asks the Mail

In Jerusalem it has become much harder to get a room in the city's best hotel, a carved stone palace that was once the haunt of Churchill and Lawrence of Arabia.
The reason for the shortage is simple. There are only 86 bedrooms at the American Colony Hotel and ten of them – more than an entire floor – have been booked indefinitely by Tony Blair to be used as offices by his mission to the Middle East.

The former PM also makes the headlines in the Times which claims

Some of Tony Blair’s expenses claims, which the High Court last week ruled should be disclosed to the public, have been shredded. The documents, itemising Blair’s claims for household expenses during a year of his premiership, were destroyed in the midst of a legal battle over whether they should be published. All MPs’ expenses are funded by taxpayers.
