Papers hail Alzheimer's breakthrough

Version 0 of 1.

The discovery of a new drug to treat Alzheimer's disease makes the lead in the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail.

The drug, Rember, has been twice as effective as current treatments and restored parts of the brain to life.

The Mail says that if the next phase of trials is successful, the drug could be available by 2012.

The Telegraph says the breakthrough will lead to more calls for drugs watchdog NICE to reconsider its policy on the availability of dementia drugs.

Labour pains

Foreign Secretary David Miliband writes in the Guardian that Labour can still win an election "against the odds."

The paper says Mr Miliband intervened in the debate about Labour's future in what can be seen as an implicit criticism of the leadership's style.

Mr Miliband is seen as a frontrunner if Gordon Brown resigns, the paper notes.

The Times says Mr Miliband dares Mr Brown to sack him by setting out how Labour can still win the next election, in a deliberate challenge to the PM.

Jetpack travel

The Daily Express reports that petrol could be cut by 25p a litre as oil companies benefit from soaring prices.

The story comes on the back of figures that show that BP has made Â£6.75bn profits already this year.

Rather less conventional transport in the Independent - a jetpack that will set you back Â£50,000.

Put away the Gulf Stream private jet and park the Lamborghini - this is the machine that will really impress your friends, the paper advises.

Game rules

The Mail and the Telegraph report the government is to introduce cinema-style classifications for computer games.

The classifications, to try to protect children from scenes of graphic sex and violence, will also apply to online computer games.

The Telegraph says the plans will be strongly resisted by the software industry which wants its own self-regulation system.

But the Mail says ministers believe too little is being done to regulate games.
