Version 0 of 1.

The Conservative leader David Cameron comes under scrutiny in a number of papers ahead of his party's conference.

The Daily Telegraph claims a YouGov poll for the paper suggests support for the Tories is slipping.

The paper says pressure will increase on Mr Cameron to counter charges that he is "all style and no substance".

In the Times, Matthew Parris suggests Mr Cameron is yet to prove himself as a real speech-maker, while his first video blog is examined in the Guardian.

Age laws

The Daily Express front page alleges the new laws banning age discrimination will cause chaos from Sunday.

The paper brands the changes confusing and oppressive and says many employers are bewildered.

The Times says the laws may end up damaging the employment prospects of those it aims to help.

But the Morning Star reports that the T&G union has warned "unscrupulous bosses" that claims of confusion over the new laws "simply will not wash".

The Independent reports on the campaign to save a British national, who is due to be executed in Pakistan this weekend under ancient religious law.

The paper says Mirza-Tahir Hussain faces hanging for the 1988 murder of a taxi driver despite twice being cleared by a criminal court.

Drivers

The Daily Mail claims driving test fraud has reached terrifying levels.

The paper says its investigation shows thousands of bogus test candidates are getting licences for unskilled drivers.

Elsewhere, the Independent says an Austrian Airlines jet made an unscheduled stop after a traveller sneaked on a hamster.

The flight was grounded in Innsbruck in case the pet gnawed through cables.
