The saga of the prosecution of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher, in Italy in 2007, is back in the news. The Guardian leads on an Italian court's decision to reinstate their convictions. 
Using the American's nickname, Foxy Knoxy, the Daily Mail quotes her as saying she will fight to prove her innocence and would have to be pulled back "kicking and screaming" to Italy to serve her 28-year jail sentence. 
The Sun takes an unusual approach to fend off rain, urging readers to pray to patron saint of good weather, St Medard. It recruits a vicar from a church of the same name to lead the prayer, with the words: "Dear Lord. We've had enough." 
Weather also features on the The Times's front page, with the paper noting 2014 has seen the wettest January on record. Its lead says UK police are facing an inquiry into their handling of so-called honour crimes in minority communities. 
A photograph of Marines surveying the Somerset floods dominates the Daily Telegraph's front page. Its lead story says boys are being "left behind" as 87,000 fewer young men apply to university than women. 
The i also describes the "huge gender gulf" among students, quoting the UK's head of admissions as saying that young men are becoming a "disadvantaged group". However, the gap between rich and poor students is closing, it adds. 
The Daily Express leads on claims that British detectives investigating the 2007 disappearance of Madeleine McCann want to examine the bank records of three suspects amid fears she may have been "snatched to order" and sold. 
The Daily Mirror claims the prime suspects being sought by police had worked at the Praia da Luz holiday complex in Portugal where the family of Madeleine, who was three at the time she went missing, were staying. 
The Metro says a mother-of-three has become the first person in Britain ruled to have been poisoned to death by cannabis. A coroner agreed with the pathologist who examined Gemma Moss's body that the drug was to blame, it says. 
The Independent says Labour leader Ed Miliband's plans to change the way party leaders are elected will see MPs lose their one-third share of the vote. Unions will too, under a true "one member, one vote" system, it adds. 
The Financial Times quotes the head of India's central bank as criticising Western countries for adopting "selfish" economic policies which lead to "turmoil" in developing states as industrialised economies recover.
