The angry response to the disputed election victory of President Ahmadinejad in Iran is again covered by several of Monday's papers.

The Independent uses a picture of a veiled young student with the pseudonym Maryam. Her words: <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/a-face-in-the-crowd-a-cry-from-the-heart-1705287.html">"I can only express my sorrow for my country."</a>

The Mail says President Ahmadinejad declared the result <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1192958/Poll-rioters-rip-Iran-apart-Ahmadinejad-rounds-opposition-leaders-insisting-election-wasnt-rigged.html">"real and free".</a>

The Mirror warns that Tehran is now a <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/06/14/iran-poll-fix-fury-115875-21438974/">tinderbox,</a> with pro and anti-protestors fighting to be heard.

Truncheon blow

Many western journalists have witnessed at first hand the anger on the streets of the Iranian capital following President Ahmadinejad's victory.

The Times journalist, Martin Fletcher, describes the <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article6499533.ece">''lash of a truncheon''</a> across his shoulder.

The outcome appears bleak in many of the editorials.

The Telegraph points out that talks without preconditions now seem less realistic than <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/telegraph-view/5534421/Democracy-is-the-loser-in-Irans-free-election.html">tighter sanctions and preparations for a military strike.</a>

'Honesty Vs dishonesty'

Future UK government spending is emerging as a key issue ahead of the next general election.

<a class="inlineText" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jun/14/labour-tories-policies">The cabinet minister, Ed Balls, argues in the Guardian</a> that David Cameron would cut spending on education while reducing inheritance tax for the rich.

But Shadow Chancellor George Osborne writes in the Times that <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article6499028.ece">spending will have to be cut, whoever is elected.</a>

Mr Osborne says the political division is not "cuts versus investment", but "honesty versus dishonesty".

Wimbledon fever

Wimbledon fever has come early according to some of the papers thanks to Andy Murray's victory at Queens.

With the tournament just a week away, the Daily Star says the <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.dailystar.co.uk/othersport/view/84871/Muscles-Murray-King-of-Queen-s/">''super Scot''</a> will mount a serious challenge to Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

A galaxy of celebrities is backing a campaign by Sir Paul McCartney to help save the planet and promote the benefits of vegetarian food.

The idea, revealed in the Independent, is <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/mccartney-urges-meatfree-days-to-tackle-climate-change-1705289.html">"Meat Free Monday".</a>
