The Sunday's return to the subject of Gordon Browm for many of their headlines.

Brown hits all-time low in shock new survey says the Observer

As the Prime Minister begins his fightback with new proposals entitling mothers to more flexible working hours, the research shows that only one in five voters thinks he is doing a good job. He is rated worse than David Cameron on every key leadership quality, including competence, decisiveness, fairness, likeability, trustworthiness and strength.

The Sunday Mirror leads with more on the Fritzl case

Dungeon girl Elisabeth Fritzl first words revealed

Dungeon victim Elisabeth Fritzl, the woman caged for 24 years by her rapist father, has told her family: "I never want to see his face again."
Elisabeth - who gave birth to seven of depraved Josef Fritzl's children - fell into her mother Rosemarie's arms when she was finally released and said: "I can't believe I'm free - is it really you?"
Weeping and clinging to her mother, Elisabeth told her: "I can't believe I'm out. I didn't think I would ever see you again. It's all too much for me. I don't ever want to see him again."

Brown faces disaster in Crewe poll says the Mail on Sunday

The Tories are poised to achieve their first parliamentary by-election gain since the heyday of Margaret Thatcher, dealing a hammer blow to Gordon Brown's hopes of survival.
That is the remarkable finding of the first opinion poll conducted in the Labour stronghold of Crewe, where a by-election to be held in 11 days' time could seal the Prime Minister's fate.
The ICM survey for The Mail on Sunday puts the Tories on 43 per cent with Labour trailing on 39 – a dramatic ten per cent swing in the Cheshire constituency since the last General Election.

The Sunday Times meanwhile has more revelations this time from John Prescott

John Prescott says he urged Tony Blair to sack Gordon Brown at the height of their frequent rows – but the former prime minister was “scared” of his chancellor.
He says he also urged Brown to resign and fight Blair from the back benches, but Brown, then chancellor, shrank from such a bold gamble.

The Telegraph stays on the Brown theme saying

Gordon Brown won't let Union split

Gordon Brown has vowed to do "whatever is necessary" to preserve the United Kingdom in the wake of a bruising battle over a referendum on Scottish independence. Giving his most impassioned defence yet of the link between Scotland and England, the Prime Minister told the Telegraph that he was calling for pro-Union parties in Britain, as well as businesses, to join together to "expose the dangers of separation".

Soldiers need loans to eat, report reveals

A highly sensitive internal report into the state of the British Army has revealed that many soldiers are living in poverty. Some are so poor that they are unable to eat and are forced to rely on emergency food voucher schemes set up by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
Some of Britain's most senior military figures reacted angrily yesterday to the revelations in the report, criticising the Government's treatment of its fighting forces.

Not surprisingly Burma takes many column inches,staying with the Independent it reports

Burma death toll 'could reach 1.5 million'

Oxfam warned yesterday that 1.5 million people could die needlessly in Burma as the first outbreaks of disease were reported in the wake of Cyclone Nargis, and many of the worst-hit areas went an eighth day without aid.

Less aid, more show for Burma's junta says the Telegraph

As disease and starvation threaten the survivors of Burma's cyclone, the military regime shows itself to be more interested in crude propaganda and secrecy than saving lives.

Burma exports rice as cyclone victims starve says the Observer

Burma is still exporting rice even as it tries to curb the influx of international donations of food bound for the starving survivors of the cyclone that killed up to 116,000 people.
Sacks of rice destined for Bangladesh were being loaded on to a ship at the Thilawa container port at the mouth of the Yangon River at the end of last week, even though Burma's 'rice bowl' region was devastated by the deadly storm a week ago.

Tsvangirai to defy Mugabe's thugs and enter run-off election

The opposition leader of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai, declared yesterday that he would take part in a run-off election for the presidency and will soon return home despite a violent crackdown on his supporters that has left at least 20 dead.
Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), said his supporters would feel “betrayed” if he did not contest the run-off after winning more votes than President Robert Mugabe in the first round of the election.

Lame-duck Bush back in the limelight reports the Observer

It has been a busy week for President George Bush. He has shuttled across the country, faced a barrage of questions from a hounding press pack and made some tough spending decisions.
But the focus of the action was not a bold new policy initiative or diplomatic mission. Instead, the dramatic upsurge of media interest in Bush has been because of the wedding yesterday of his daughter Jenna in Texas.
Details of the nuptials on Bush's 1,600-acre ranch in Crawford have been kept secret, but plans for the ceremony, rehearsal dinner and celebratory barbecue have leaked in the midst of feverish speculation over the event.

White House vs white bear: Judge says Bush must decide whether to save the polar bear as the ice melts

It's a classic stand-off between one of the world's best loved animals and one of its most unpopular leaders, between the planet's largest bear and its most powerful man. And it comes to a head this week.
On Thursday, by order of a federal judge, George W Bush must stop stalling on whether to designate the polar bear as a species endangered by global warming. The designation could have huge consequences for his climate-change policies; his administration would, by law, have to avoid doing anything that would "jeopardise the continued existence" of the mammal whose habitat is melting away.

The Telegraph says

Obama 'has enough super-delegates to win Democratic nomination'

The Illinois senator last week switched his attention to the general election battle against John McCain after locking down more than enough pledges to reach the victory target of 2,025 delegates.
A senior Democrat strategist, familiar with discussions at the highest levels of the Obama camp, has revealed that Mr Obama is now confident of the support of around 120 of the remaining 260 undeclared superdelegates.

At last: the Fall of the House of Clinton says the Independent

there is a broader aspect to this high political drama, a sense that not merely a campaign but also a political lineage is approaching its end. In Edgar Allan Poe's macabre masterpiece The Fall of the House of Usher, set in a decaying castle, Roderick Usher's sister Madeline has been buried alive, consigned to the living dead. In the final moments of the tale she reappears to die, and the castle crumbles, vanishing for ever. As Clinton's inevitable defeat at the hands of Barack Obama draws closer, we are witnessing its political, albeit less gothic, equivalent – the Fall of the House of Clinton

Jacqui Smith and Sir Ian Blair in terror ‘U-turn’row

Sir Ian Blair, the beleaguered Metropolitan police commissioner, is said to have fallen out with Jacqui Smith, the home secretary, after he appeared to backtrack in his support for plans to jail terror suspects for 42 days without charge.
Whitehall officials claim that Blair, for years Labour’s favourite policeman, has privately lost the support of Smith following a disagreement over the Met’s “equivocal” backing for the controversial 42-day law. One said: “Jacqui Smith absolutely hates him.”

There is much coverage about school testing,the Telegraph reports

Tests hurt children, say MPs

A report on assessment by the all-party children, schools and families committee will condemn the way the results of national exams are used both as political capital and to compare how good schools are without taking account of their intake.
Because so much rides on them, tests are distorting education, with schools forced to narrow the curriculum and spend months cramming pupils, the report will say

Meanwhile the same paper reports

Pupils 'must have MMR jab' to start classes

Children will not be allowed to start school unless they have had the MMR jab, under controversial Labour Party proposals.
Primary schools will be compelled to demand proof that pupils have had a full range of jabs – including measles, mumps and rubella – before allowing them to register.
The policy, disclosed to the Telegraph, has been drawn up by the Labour MP in charge of the party's health manifesto for the next election.

The Express leads with the same story adding

The plans have sparked fresh accusations of “nanny state” government and outraged health campaigners and doctors.
The plan was last night condemned by leading author Dr Richard Halvorsen as “unethical, immoral and entirely wrong”, while a support group for vaccine-damaged children accused Labour of imposing its will on families.

The Observer claims

The forthcoming documentary on Prince Philip is previewed in the Times

Prince Philip emerges in a television interview this week as the model royal “eco-warrior” who believes overpopulation has contributed to the pressures on the world and that anyone who believes in God should go green.

Hey nonny no, no, no: Goths and pagans are reinventing morris dancing

Just before dawn, by an empty shingle beach, sinister figures move through the gloom. Living shadows, they're dressed all in black, their coats made from long rags, their faces obscured by paint. But their eyes burn brightly as they gather in a circle. If some poor insomniac comes walking the dog now – at 5am on a cold, damp morning – they'll get a massive fright. "Hey-ya!" yell eight men and women as they come together with a loud clash of sticks, and what appears to be a blend of country dancing, martial arts and the mating ritual of raggedy crows. The dance is about sex, there's no mistaking that: one partner stands with legs straddling his stick, holding it upwards from the groin, while the other uses his own stick to bash it about. "It's so much a fertility dance that you'd have to really not know what you were looking at to miss the point," says 47-year-old Laurence Ranger, the squire (a kind of road manager) of Hunters Moon Morris.
