'Madeleine evidence' makes papers

http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/uk/6990531.stm Version 0 of 1. Many newspapers claim to have details of evidence gathered by prosecutors in the Madeleine McCann case. Unnamed sources tell the Daily Mail a substantial amount of the girl's hair was found in the boot of a car hired by her parents 25 days after she vanished. The Sun says the police's dossier of evidence holds significant results of toxicology tests on the hair. The Daily Express says these claims are putting more pressure on the McCanns who strenuously deny any involvement. 'Clear lesson' "Five years of waste in the sickly NHS" is the Daily Mail's reaction to a report published on the government's handling of the health service. It says taxpayers have received nothing like the value they were entitled to expect from the huge spending rise begun by Gordon Brown five years ago. The Daily Telegraph believes Sir Derek Wanless's report offers a clear lesson to the Conservatives. It suggests "rigorous, perhaps radical, reform" of services. Torture Meanwhile, the Guardian reveals a British man held at Guantanamo Bay has launched a landmark civil action against MI5 and MI6 over evidence-gathering tactics. Tarek Dergoul, 29, says British agents were aware he was being tortured. The paper says if he wins, agents could no longer interrogate British nationals being held and tortured abroad. The Independent says British forces have been sent from Basra, in Iraq, to the volatile border with Iran amid warnings from the US of a "proxy war". Dining out The Daily Mirror reports that Sir Alex Ferguson was assaulted as he stepped off a train at London's Euston station. The paper says the Manchester United manager was kicked in the legs by a man shouting football-related abuse. Police say a man was arrested. Staying in London, the Independent confirms what many inhabitants have long suspected - that it is the world's most expensive place to dine out. The Zagat guide says the average meal in London costs more than £39. |
