Version 0 of 1.

There is general agreement that it has been a bad week for Conservative leader David Cameron.

The Independent on Sunday says many Tory MPs were left feeling baffled by his opposition to grammar schools.

The Sunday Telegraph says infighting has severely damaged Mr Cameron's credibility among the electorate.

However, in the Sunday Times Mr Cameron says it will be clear that "our distinctive approach" to the grammar school debate is a robust one.

Yellow ribbon

The People claims British intelligence officers have new information that suggests missing Madeleine McCann was taken to north Africa by her abductor.

It says a computerised phone-tapping system has eavesdropped on a series of mobile phone conversations.

These refer to a German man and ferry crossings from Spain to Morocco, the paper reports.

"I won for Maddie", says the News of the World of Frankie Dettori's Derby victory while wearing a yellow ribbon.

'Dawdling bureaucrats'

People are being warned that wearing sunglasses could increase the risk of skin cancer, says the Sunday Express.

The glasses trick the brain into thinking that less harmful radiation has penetrated the body, the paper reports.

The Mail on Sunday says hundreds of surgeons and hospital specialists are being stopped from taking top jobs by "dawdling, form-filling bureaucrats".

The Mail says paperwork for a new government registration scheme has fallen "disastrously behind schedule".

American adventure

The back pages are full of speculation about David Beckham's future with the England football squad.

The News of the World says he has told his new team - LA Galaxy - that they will not stop him playing for England.

The Sunday Mirror says manager Steve McClaren is ready to keep him in the squad even after his move to Galaxy.

"Beck for good" says the People - reporting that Beckham says his American adventure will not stand in the way of him playing for England.
