Middle East commentary continues

The crisis in the Middle East, and the implications for the region, is analysed extensively in the newspapers.

The Independent lists facts and figures from the conflict, such as the number of bombs used. Tellingly, the number of UN resolutions adopted is nil.

And the Guardian reports that there is serious concern among diplomats and analysts that the draft UN resolution is weighted heavily in Israel's favour.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail criticises the slow pace of the UN's negotiations.

Council tax rise

The Daily Telegraph leads with the news that local authorities are being advised to review speed limits - particularly on rural roads.

The paper says that 64% of road deaths occur in country areas.

The Daily Express warns its readers that council tax could have to rise by as much as 6% because of the number of immigrants entering the country.

The Local Government Association wants funding to accurately match the influx of migrants in some areas.

Human remains search

The main story for the Times is the possible link between allergies and Parkinson's Disease.

It is thought that inflammation caused by allergies may release chemicals which inadvertently kill brain cells.

The Daily Mirror claims Heather Mills McCartney was locked out of the home of estranged husband Sir Paul McCartney.

Meanwhile, the Sun reports that the police are digging up the garden at a house in south London in the search for human remains.

'Money hole'

Golfers who finish their round at the 19th hole will find it a little more strenuous than in the past, thanks to Colin Montgomerie.

The Telegraph reports that the golfer is designing his first British course and is adding the extra hole.

Until now the 19th hole was coded language for refreshment in the bar.

The 19th has been nicknamed the "money hole" because it is expected to be played by golfers who are tied - and have a bet to settle.
