Trouble predicted for government

Version 0 of 1.

The Times says Chancellor Alistair Darling will make a Â£200m climbdown on changes to capital gains tax.

The paper says he will halve the proposed 18% rate for the first Â£750,000 of gains in the face of enormous pressure from the business community.

The Guardian reports the government is facing defeat on proposed legislation to hold terror suspects for up to 42 days without charge.

Minsters have been warned a Commons vote would be "touch and go", it says.

Nanny state

Fat people will be offered cash incentives to lose weight under a radical government strategy, reports the Daily Telegraph.

The onus to fund the scheme is likely to fall on companies which would gain from a healthier workforce, it says.

The government strategy risks provoking accusations of a nanny state culture, according to the Daily Mail.

This is because it also urges schools to appoint "lunchbox police" to check pupils' food is healthy, it continues.

Surgery hours

The Guardian claims that a mass exodus of GPs from the NHS is being considered by the British Medical Association.

The BMA is stepping up its campaign against the government's plan to impose extended surgery opening hours for doctors in England.

The Daily Mail says the move could result in patients being charged Â£25 for an appointment.

The BMA will ballot GPs next month on whether or not to accept the government's revised contract.

'I'm innocent?'

Pictures show the reaction of the former wife of John Hogan to the decision by a Greek court to clear him of murdering their six-year-old son.

The Sun says Mr Hogan turned to a Greek translator to query the verdict. "I'm innocent?", he apparently asked.

The Times and the Daily Mirror quote his former wife Natasha's remarks after hearing he had been found not guilty.

"My son lost his young life for nothing. To do this to our children is unforgiveable," she said.
