Just when it looked like the scandal was moving form the front pages,the Independent claims

David Cameron accepted free flights to hold private talks with Rupert Murdoch on his luxury yacht off a Greek island this summer, The Independent can reveal.
The Tory leader delayed the start of his family holiday in Turkey to fly to Santorini, where he had drinks with Mr Murdoch on his 184ft yacht Rosehearty and later attended a dinner party with him. Mr Cameron then accepted a second free flight to Turkey, while Mr Murdoch sailed to Corfu, where the guests at a party to mark the 40th birthday of his daughter, Elisabeth, included the shadow Chancellor George Osborne, Lord Mandelson and the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

The Guardian says Mandelson met oligarch earlier than he admitted

European commission officials who worked for Lord Mandelson, the business secretary, issued a misleading statement about the history of his relationship with Oleg Deripaska, the Russian billionaire, the Guardian has established.
Mandelson's officials in Brussels, where he served as trade commissioner before returning to a role in the government earlier this month, said the two men met "at a few social gatherings in 2006 and 2007", but had never discussed aluminium, the main source of Deripaska's wealth.

The Mail says

Peter Mandelson has been dragged back into the political storm swirling around his controversial links with Russia's richest man.
Attention switched back to the Business Secretary as he was challenged to publish full details of all his meetings and conversations with billionaire Oleg Deripaska by MPs and MEPs.
Lord Mandelson is facing scrutiny of his championing of the tiny Adriatic nation of Montenegro as a world trading partner. Aluminium tycoon Mr Deripaska has invested heavily in the country

Campaigners claimed the books were deliberately cooked to meet Labour’s tough targets.

It provides ammunition to critics who say the figures are open to manipulation and cannot be believed.
