Mansion blaze questions continue

The discovery of two bodies at the burnt mansion of a Shropshire millionaire is front-page news in the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mirror.

"Where's Kirstie?" asks the Mirror, pondering the whereabouts of his daughter Kirstie Foster, 15.

The Telegraph says the investigation is likely to focus on her father Christopher Foster's business affairs.

The Independent says safety concerns mean it could take weeks for forensic teams to sift through the ruins.

Tough times

The Daily Mail wonders if things can get any worse for Gordon Brown.

First came the chancellor's downbeat assessment of the economy - now a draft Home Office document warns that tougher times could lead to rising crime.

The Daily Telegraph believes Alistair Darling's interview was a choreographed attempt to hit back at Number 10.

But the Guardian journalist who spoke to Mr Darling says there was no sign that the chancellor was planning to give an explosive interview.

Natural disaster

The Times is not alone in reporting that Hurricane Gustav is an ill wind for John McCain's anointment as the Republican nominee for the White House.

The first day of the party's national convention in Minnesota has been scaled down because of the looming emergency.

The Guardian says it is the first time in living memory that such an event has been disrupted by a natural disaster.

The coming storm forced the Republicans to scrap much of their four-day convention, the paper says.

Gloomy news

The end of August prompts the Daily Express to reflect on the weather.

The paper says experts are describing it as the gloomiest August since records began, with some areas enduring three times their average rainfall.

Photographs in the Daily Telegraph contrast Bournemouth beach over the two days of the weekend.

On Saturday a record number visited the beach to watch a Red Arrows display in the sunshine, but it was virtually deserted in drizzly weather on Sunday.
