The New York Times has been to meet the families of the people killed by a US soldier on Sunday - and says that they believe it was a deliberate US conspiracy.

The Times says Obama and Cameron will be talking about a pullout from Afghanistan today - but the editorial says there's no excuse to cut and run.

The Guardian says there's nothing so special about the so-called special relationship - and the two men don't have much to offer each other.

The Washington Post looks at Afghanistan in the US presidential election - so far it hasn't been an issue.
