Hi, I'm Hayley with your Newsround update. Coming up:

0:00:040:00:06

We bring you predictions for Wimbledon.

0:00:060:00:11

And the boy sneaking a cheeky selfie with the Queen.

0:00:110:00:16

First to a story involving A-list celebrities, hacked phones and the

0:00:200:00:23

closure of one of Britain's biggest newspapers. A massive court case

0:00:230:00:26

into whether staff at the News of the World paper were guilty of phone

0:00:260:00:29

hacking ended yesterday with the paper's old editor Andy Coulson

0:00:290:00:32

being found guilty. Here's Jenny with everything you need to know.

0:00:320:00:40

It all started at the News of the World. Reporters at the newspaper

0:00:410:00:45

were accused of listening in to people's phone messages to get

0:00:450:00:47

exclusive stories. They targeted celebrities, the Royal family, and

0:00:470:00:54

even ordinary people, including the parents of missing schoolgirl, Milly

0:00:540:00:56

Dowler, who were desperately trying to find their daughter. Hacking

0:00:560:01:02

forums is against the law and after several accusations were made, the

0:01:020:01:05

paper was shut down. Bosses and reporters from the News of the World

0:01:050:01:08

were then put on trial to find out who knew what was going on.

0:01:080:01:13

Yesterday, Andy Coulson, who was the editor of the newspaper when some of

0:01:130:01:16

the hacking took place, was found guilty of conspiring to hack phones.

0:01:160:01:22

Mr Coulson also used to work as the press spokesman for the Prime

0:01:220:01:25

Minister, David Cameron. He was criticised for hiring him at the

0:01:250:01:27

time and yesterday apologised.

0:01:270:01:31

I was always clear that I was giving someone a second chance. He had

0:01:310:01:35

resigned from the News of the World because of what happened there, the

0:01:350:01:40

bad things that had happened there. I accepted his assurances,

0:01:400:01:43

I gave him a job. It was a second chance. It turns out to be a bad

0:01:430:01:47

decision and I am extremely sorry about that.

0:01:470:01:50

Andy Coulson's boss at the company that the newspaper, Rebekah Brooks,

0:01:500:01:53

was also on trial. But she was cleared of all the charges on

0:01:530:01:56

Tuesday, along with four other people, after the paper was closed

0:01:560:02:01

down. The government launched a big enquiry to decide whether newspapers

0:02:010:02:03

needed new rules and should be monitored more closely. Some

0:02:030:02:06

newspapers said that was too much interference. But celebrities

0:02:060:02:08

affected say more needs to be done to make sure

0:02:080:02:10

nothing like this ever happens again.

0:02:100:02:17

FIFA, the company in charge of world football, is investigating Luis

0:02:190:02:22

Suarez after he was accused of biting an Italian player during a

0:02:220:02:25

World Cup game yesterday. This is the moment Suarez clashed with

0:02:250:02:28

Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini. The referee didn't take any action

0:02:280:02:31

at the time. Suarez has been banned twice before for biting, while

0:02:310:02:37

playing for Ajax and his current club Liverpool, and if the

0:02:370:02:40

accusations are true, he could be banned for two years.

0:02:400:02:46

It's day three of Wimbledon and BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller

0:02:490:02:52

has been busy doing his homework - these are his top tips.

0:02:520:02:56

Hello, Newsround. I'm Russell Fuller, BBC tennis correspondent.

0:02:560:02:58

Here is who I think might just win Wimbledon this year...

0:02:580:03:04

Why shouldn't Andy Murray win the men's singles title again? He will

0:03:070:03:10

never be under as much pressure as he was 12 months ago, becoming the

0:03:100:03:13

first British man to win the singles at Wimbledon for 77 years. And there

0:03:130:03:16

have been signs of the last few weeks, after his back surgery in

0:03:160:03:19

September, that he is starting to return to his best form.

0:03:190:03:26

Rafa Nadal is the other man I tip to go well at Wimbledon. Last year, in

0:03:260:03:30

one of the biggest upset in modern tennis history, he lost in the very

0:03:300:03:34

first round to a Belgian player called Steve Darcis. Nadal struggles

0:03:340:03:37

with his knees. And a lower bouncing ball on the grass means that those

0:03:370:03:43

knees are put under great strain. If he can conquer that,

0:03:430:03:45

he's a champion never to be underestimated.

0:03:450:03:49

Serena Williams has to start as the favourite for the women's singles,

0:03:520:03:56

or the ladies' singles, as they like to call it at Wimbledon. She has

0:03:560:03:59

been the finest female player of the 21st-century, but has not want

0:03:590:04:02

either of the two big events, the grandslam events in Australia and

0:04:020:04:07

France, so far this year. So just maybe, it is her turn.

0:04:070:04:11

If you are looking for one of the younger players to come through,

0:04:110:04:14

then the best of the bunch is Eugenie Bouchard. She's just 20,

0:04:140:04:17

she's from Canada, and she has reached the semifinals of both the

0:04:170:04:22

Australian Open and French Open this year. And worryingly, for the rest

0:04:220:04:25

of the field, she says grass is her favourite surface.

0:04:250:04:31

The Queen's face is on money, stamps, and plenty of royal

0:04:320:04:35

portraits - but it's not every day she features in a selfie. Her

0:04:350:04:38

Majesty was on a tour of a market in Belfast, Ireland, when an

0:04:380:04:41

enthusiastic boy leant in to take a royal selfie.

0:04:410:04:47

Smartphone? More like smart-throne.

0:04:470:04:52

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.

0:04:520:04:55

And I'll have news on England's match last night.
