Just another Monday, wish it were Sunday (that's our fun day)

Ah, the Observer, as fresh on a Monday morning as it is on a Sunday. Fresh like the smell of baking bread. (The smell of baking bread, that is, from a charming local bakery in an idyllic rural setting rather than the smell being pumped out of the back of Sainsbury's in some sinister pavlovian bid to make us spend money on flaccid 3-for-2 croissants.)

Why so fresh? Well, our story about road pricing has been picked up everywhere. That is always quite rewarding for a Sunday paper. There are also quite a few pieces that stay fresh because they are not pegged to the routine news ageanda Tim Judah and Daniel Sunter's report on video evidence of the Srebrenica massacre springs to mind. Likewise, Anushka Asthana's report on child soldiers in the Congo.

Jo Revill, meanwhile, continues to report the hidden crisis in Britain's maternity care. Please keep the comments coming, as Jo and the news desk read them and feed them into our reporting on the subject.
