The front of the Sunday's are dominated by the latest casualty of the financial turmoil and the death of Paul Newman.
Bingley resue will cost the taxpayer billions says the Telegraph which reports that
According to a BBC report, the Government will nationalise B&B using the special legislation passed to take Northern Rock into public ownership earlier this year.
Taxpayers face a multi-billion-pound bill as part of a plan to rescue the lender.
Senior Treasury officials are working on a plan to take B&B into public ownership. That could be followed by a swift sale to a bank, with Santander of Spain – which also owns Abbey – seen as the favourite.
The Times says that Brown looks to Spain for B&B bailout whilst the Observer says
The intention was to place B&B - and its £50bn loan book - in government hands on a temporary basis to give Santander and other possible purchasers more time to decide whether they were prepared to do a deal.
The Mail leads with a personla victim of the credit crunch,it reports that
The City was in shock last night after the apparent suicide of a millionaire financier haunted by the pressures of dealing with the credit crunch.
Kirk Stephenson, who was married with an eight-year-old son, died in the path of a 100mph express train at Taplow railway station, Berkshire.
Mr Stephenson is believed to have taken his own life after succumbing to mounting personal pressures as the world’s financial markets went into meltdown.
The Times reports that Tories plan to create 5,000 new schools
David Cameron will this week reveal the scale of the party’s ambitions to transform the education system, detailing proposals to replace failing comprehensives and primaries with new “free” schools run by parents, charities and private firms.
They will be given extraordinary freedom to set their own curriculum and will be allowed to abandon GCSEs and A-levels in favour of the International Baccalaureate, European or American exams.
The Express leads with another claim on Tory policy.According to the paper
A TOUGH package is being drawn up by David Cameron to tackle Islamic extremism. One of the key proposals is to ban sharia law courts from operating in this country.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Express, Mr Cameron’s security adviser, Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones, said the Tories were determined to “integrate” British Muslims into mainstream society.
The Telegraph reports that
Gordon Brown's political fightback has received a boost with a new opinion poll showing he is the leader most trusted to steer Britain through the financial crisis. The BPIX survey for The Sunday Telegraph gives the Prime Minister and Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, the slenderest of leads over their Conservative counterparts when voters are asked to identify the better team to deal with the credit crunch - 36 per cent to 35 per cent
Meanwhile the Observer reports how
A group of high-profile hedge fund managers who have been criticised for exacerbating the financial crisis are part of an elite pack of Conservative supporters
The Independent asks Can we trust Cameron?
David Cameron and George Osborne will today attempt to fight off claims they cannot be trusted to run the economy by unveiling a major shake-up of the Treasury's role in the public finances. The Tory leader and shadow Chancellor – branded as "novices" by Gordon Brown – will pledge the equivalent of Labour's first act of granting independence for the Bank of England.
Its front page has only one story on it,
Paul Newman was one of the last two greats of his generation. There is only Clint Eastwood left now, I think. He trained in the method style with Lee Strasberg and in the beginning he was criticised for being a mini Marlon Brando. He was a bit younger than Brando, and Brando was the big star. But he moved away from that, and established his own style. He wasn't a second anybody: he was very much Paul Newman.
The Observer says
Paul Newman was one of the titans of 20th century film. He won huge acclaim in a series of Hollywood classics. But acting was only part of his story - he was also a devoted husband and father, a political activist and a philanthropist
Showbusiness is on the front page of the Mirror which tells us that
Furious Dannii Minogue has threatened to quit the X Factor because she is jealous of new judge Cheryl Cole's huge success.
The Aussie pop singer is furious that Cheryl, an instant hit with the fans, is now getting more airtime than her.
The News of the World has the photos that could cost Ronnie £50m
IT COULD be the most EXPensive dessert in HISTORY as Ronnie Wood lets his Russian lover tenderly spoon ice cream into his mouth in our pictures of their intimate dinner together.For the final chilling bill for the old Stone’s cosy £100 meal with 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova could run to as much as £50 MILLION.
Back to politics and the Independent reports on the first predidential debate,All square says the paper
It was the debate that was almost swept away by a financial tempest. But when John McCain and Barack Obama did square up to each other on Friday night, they produced one of the best, and almost certainly the most watched, presidential debates ever. How many minds they changed is another matter. In this battle pitting age against youth, experience against promise, the two clashed on the economy, Iraq, al-Qa'ida and Iran. But there was no knock-out blow.
Honours even says the Observer
Barack Obama emerged a stronger candidate from the presidential debate yesterday after demonstrating that he could match John McCain on national security, the Democratic candidate's supposed area of greatest weakness.
During the 98-minute debate, both men delivered a series of hard jabs on the Wall Street crisis, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan, but neither landed the blow that could have changed the course of the election.
The News of the World has some pictures of Sarah Palin
SHE’S famous for bringing sex appeal to the US presidential race.
But it’s not the first time sassy Sarah Palin has set out to wow the public, as our exclusive pictures show.
Here is John McCain’s Republican running mate showing off her curves in a saucy red Baywatch-style swimsuit.
On the same topic the Times reports
Other foreign news and the Telegraph reports that
China is rapidly developing a highly modern military that will be the equal of Western armies with the ability to operate anywhere in the worldand adds
The analysts, from Jane's Information Group, believe that the Chinese Communist Party can only continue to rule the country if it maintains economic growth at more than 10 per cent. It is already investing heavily in Africa for food and natural resources but this could lead to conflict with India with the trade route that crosses the Indian Ocean.
The Times reports that a Taliban revival sets fear swirling through Kabul
Everyone’s nervous, particularly educated women,” said Rahmani, 26, who works at a women’s project and is completing an economics degree at Kabul University. “I’m hurrying to finish my thesis so I can get my diploma in case the Taliban come back. All my friends are applying for Indian visas.”
The Mail is one of many of the papers to report that
The boss of a publishing company that is to release a novel about the private life of the Prophet Mohammed was under police guard last night after a fire-bomb attack on his £4million London home.
The book, The Jewel Of Medina, is a fictional account of the Prophet’s relationship with his nine-year-old bride Aisha but has been described as ‘pornographic’.
The Independent is at the battle of Hebden Bridge
Feelings are running high in Hebden Bridge. Tomorrow, dozens of people will set off for a special planning meeting of Calderdale council, to protest against an innovative architectural scheme in the heart of the Yorkshire town.
Hebden Bridge has connections with a number of formidable figures, including Ted Hughes and Sir Bernard Ingham. And in four years of development, the Garden Street project has ignited characteristically forceful opposition in the shape of the Garden Street Action Group.
Finally the Observer reports on a growing problem in the art world
Britain's art collections are taking a beating. Visitors to some of the nation's finest galleries and museums wreak havoc by walking into, leaning against, tripping over and even vomiting over valuable works, official records show.
The casualty list includes a chipped Anish Kapoor sculpture, a dented Barnett Newman painting, a vomit-stained Carl Andre piece and an installation at the Victoria & Albert Museum that was brought crashing to the ground when a security guard tripped over a barrier in the dark. In another incident, a huge 19th-century plaster cast was damaged by corporate clients clambering over it.
