Brown's 'new look' grabs papers

Version 0 of 1.

Gordon Brown's new look as he campaigns for the Labour leadership captures the attention of Saturday's papers.

The Daily Mail focuses on the "decisive break with the Blair era", while the Telegraph says the glitz of the Blair years is being swept away.

The Independent describes him as the "New Gordon", while the Mirror labels the Chancellor as "Fresh Gordon".

In the Guardian, it is "Goodbye Grumpy Gordon" and his moment to to set a new theme for himself and Labour.

Madeleine

The continuing search for Madeleine McCann, who turns four on Saturday, is the lead story in several papers.

The Independent has the headline: "A stolen child, a missed birthday, a baffling mystery".

The Sun urges its readers to wear yellow clothing today to show their support for her family.

And in the Express, it is the cruellest of days for Madeleine's parents. The paper's report is accompanied by the headline: "The saddest birthday".

Irish reconciliation

Ian Paisley and Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern's joint visit to the site of the Battle of the Boyne is picked up by several papers.

The Times says the event is the second time this week the tectonic plates of Irish history have moved.

The Independent says it was the new Ireland of good neighbourliness continuing to assert itself over the old Ireland of historical dispute.

It says it is the latest in a series of events marked with reconciliation.

Eurovision

The UK's entry in the Eurovision song contest comes in for criticism.

The Times asks: "Another 'nul point' night ahead?"

It says Scooch, the group of four men and women dressed as air stewards and stewardesses have so far failed to set the tournament alight.

The Sun describes the entry as outstandingly bad. But the Express remains optimistic, saying sometimes underdogs can have their day.
