Papers mull money market fall

Many of the papers use a number of dramatic words to sum up what has been happening to the world's money markets.

The Financial Times plumps for "turmoil" and reports on the US Federal Reserve intervention to calm markets.

It says it is the most radical action taken since the 9/11 terror attacks.

The Daily Express and the Daily Mirror claim detectives have identified a new British suspect.

Meanwhile, the Times reports that her parents, Gerry and Kate, will attend a prayer service to remember Madeleine.

Drug access bid

Pages also feature the failed High Court bid to force the NHS to fund Alzheimer's drugs for people with early-stage disease.

The Daily Mail declares the fight will go on after the court upheld the decision by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).

NICE claims the drugs are only cost-effective in later-stage disease.

The Times says the institute is rightly wary of being too close to the companies whose drugs it monitors.

It is thought she was born in an animal transporter which was taking her mother to the slaughterhouse - and fell out when just a few minutes old.

Squeaky is recovering at an RSPCA centre in Chesterfield and staff are looking for a permanent home for her.

The paper speaks of "saving her bacon" and uses the headline: "This little piggy (nearly) went to market..."
