Chocolate recall occupies papers

The news that Cadbury has recalled a million chocolate bars in a salmonella scare is the focus of many papers.

The Times predicts the financial cost to the firm will be low but the damage to its reputation could be significant.

The Sun carries the story under the headline "Meltdown" while the Daily Mirror says it is a "Chocalert".

Cadbury tells the Independent traces of the bug at one of its plants were "significantly below the standard that would constitute a health problem".

'Scottish question'

The Telegraph is pre-occupied with what it calls the "Scottish question".

It reports on the results of a YouGov poll which suggests two-thirds of voters feel Scotland should lose its annual subsidy from the Treasury.

Edinburgh has become self-governing, while continuing to send the bills to London, says the paper.

In theGuardian, a computer expert claims he worked with two of the 7 July bombers and unsuccessfully tried to warn police about their activities.

Rare beetles

The Daily Express is among the papers to feature the first UK patient to get a "beating heart" transplant.

The technique keeps the heart beating as it is taken from donor to recipient.

Michael Burt tells the Times the first thing he did when he got home was to stroll around his garden. "They were supremely beautiful moments," he says.

The Independent strikes out alone with one of its distinctive front pages - this one on the plight of the scarlet malachite beetle.

'Ropey' ref

The Daily Mail covers an issue to which it has long been opposed - euthanasia.

It says grassroots members are to call on the British Medical Association to revert to its traditional stand against assisted suicide.

The Sun leads with the story of what it calls the "world's ropiest ref" - English referee Graham Poll.

It says he is being sent home from the World Cup after a series of blunders more in place with a Sunday game on Hackney Marshes than the world stage.
