Version 0 of 1.

The charging of a man with the murder of five prostitutes in Ipswich is splashed across the late editions.

The Daily Telegraph's huge headline says "Charged", and adds the man will appear in court later in the morning.

The Times still finds space on its front page for an interview with Defence Secretary Des Browne.

He says the Army is too small to cope with long-running overseas operations, and that with so many troops abroad general training is suffering.

Travel plans

The early editions miss the late breaking story that a man has been charged with the Suffolk murders.

In its place across the front pages and several inside are details of the chaos caused by the blanket of freezing fog.

The Daily Telegraph says the travel plans of tens of thousands of people have been thrown into further disarray as more flight cancellations loom.

The Daily Mail says the crisis is likely to get worse, with the fog not clearing for several days.

Shopping centre

Tales of woe fill page after page as parts of the country try to cope with the blanket of freezing fog that has caused chaos for travellers.

The Sun writes of "fog hell", and the Daily Star of "Christmas travel agony".

Daily Mail columnist Richard Littlejohn takes aim squarely at British Airways: "If BA had run the Battle of Britain, old Adolf would have walked it."

Airport operator BAA would be much happier running a shopping centre than an international airport, he continues.

Barrow blog

The Times and Daily Mail carry the story of Steve Beall, who learnt about the power of the internet the hard way.

Chocolate shop manager Mr Beall had been transferred by his bosses from Newcastle to Barrow-in-Furness.

After posting less-than-complimentary comments about the Cumbrian town on his "I Hate Barrow" blog, locals besieged the shop and police had to be called.

His employers have been forced to apologise and dole out free chocolates to the angry locals.
