The Guardian
Rebekah Brooks appears in court. P14

"---The former News International chief executive, Rebekah Brooks, has appeared in court in relation to charges of allegedly conspiring to hack into the voicemail of murdered teenager Milly Dowler and up to six others.
In a four minute hearing, Brooks spoke only to confirm her name, address and date of birth at Westminster magistrates court on Monday morning.
She was ordered by chief magistrate Howard Riddle Brooks to appear at Southwark crown court on 26 September in relation to the charges.
The former editor of the Sun and News of the World is already due in court on that day for a hearing in relation to separate charges that she allegedly conspired to pervert the course of justice.---"

And finally … Yep, just when Monkey thought the reality TV franchise spin-off genre had been squeezed of all the ratings life it has to give, the BBC wants more. Auntie is planning an "all-star" version of Strictly Come Dancing, pitting finalists such as Kara Tointon, Mark Ramprakash and Jill Halfpenny against each other for the title of super-dooper champion of the Strictly world. It's purely to provide an Olympic-like battle of the best that licence-fee payers are crying out for, not just ratings, of course. The Sun TVbviz, P1

UK tells Ecuador Assange can't be extradited if he faces death penalty
William Hague says WikiLeaks founder could only be sent to US if both Britain and Sweden believe human rights would not be breached

"--- Britain has assured Ecuador that Julian Assange has a double guarantee that he cannot face extradition from Sweden to the US if he were to face the death penalty or his human rights were to be breached.
In a written statement to MPs, the foreign secretary, William Hague, said it was a "matter of regret" that the government of Ecuador had decided to offer asylum to Assange after Britain offered a series of assurances to Quito.
Britain is seeking to extradite Assange to Sweden, where he faces allegations of sexual misconduct. The WikiLeaks founder, who sought protection in the Ecuadorean embassy in London in June, has been granted asylum by Quito on the grounds that he could face extradition from Sweden to the US where, it is feared, he could face the death penalty for his role in publishing hundreds of thousands of leaked US government documents.
Hague told MPs the double guarantee meant Assange could only be extradited to the US from Sweden if both Britain and Sweden believed he would not face the death penalty and his human rights would not be breached.
The foreign secretary said: "Both the United Kingdom and Sweden are signatories to the European convention on human rights and the British government has complete confidence in the independence and fairness of the Swedish judicial system. As we have discussed with the government of Ecuador, the United Kingdom and Sweden robustly implement and adhere to the highest standards of human rights protection.---"
