The News of the World is consigned to history following the phone | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
hacking scandal. Thank you and goodbye - the words chosen for its | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
last front page, 168 years after its creation. As the paper's staff | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
leave their offices for the last time, Rupert Murdoch pledges | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
complete support for News International chief executive | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
:00:30. | :00:39. | ||
Rebekah Brooks. You have been let down by people. We were wondering | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
if Rebekah Brooks still has your support? Total. An official review | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
into the Mull of Kintyre helicopter crash 17 years ago concludes the | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
pilots should not have been blamed for gross negligence. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Birth of a nation - celebrations as South Sudan formally declares its | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
independence. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge | :00:54. | :00:57. | |

Good evening. 168 years after it was first published, the last ever | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
copies of the News of the World are being printed tonight. The front | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
page of Britain's best selling tabloid reads simply "thank you and | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
goodbye". Speaking to reporters earlier today, Rupert Murdoch said | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
it had been a "collective decision" to close the paper because of the | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
phone hacking scandal. He also said the News International chief | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
executive Rebekah Brooks had his total support. Mr Murdoch is | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
expected to arrive in the UK tomorrow to deal with the crisis. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Colette McBeth is at News International headquarters in | :01:53. | :02:03. | |

Wapping tonight. Just about half-an-hour ago, staff | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
left here for the last time. They were led out by their former editor, | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
Colin Myler. As they headed to the pub, Rupert Murdoch is due to fly | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
into the UK, hoping no doubt that by closing this best-selling | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
newspaper he may have taken some heat out of the fire. This report | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
contains a flash photography. This is it, no scoop, no scandal on the | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
front page, just a simple thank you and goodbye. As the final edition | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
of the News of the World was printed, staff left the building | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
following a pep-talk and pizza with the editor. I said to the staff | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
this morning, this is not where we wanted to be and it is not where we | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
deserve to be, but as a final tribute to 7.5 million readers, | :02:57. | :03:07. | |
:03:07. | :03:08. | ||
this is for you, and for the staff. Thank you. As they go, Rupert | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
Murdoch will fly in to take charge of the crisis. Today, still in the | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
United States, he made his feelings clear. We have already apologised. | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
You have been let down by people, the result was the paper let down | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
its readers. He said he still has faith in Rebekah Brooks. I was | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
wondering if Rebekah Brooks still has your support? Total. When he | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
arrives here, Rupert Murdoch will have a lot to wrestle with. The | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
Prime Minister has announced two inquiries. One will be judged lead, | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
investigating why phone hacking spread and why the police failed to | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
uncover it. The other will look into the ethics and regulation of | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
the media, but Labour has demanded a judge should be appointed today | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
in case key evidence is destroyed. We need to have a proper inquiry | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
and it would be immeasurably more difficult for the judge if the | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
staff have all been dispersed and he can't get in touch with them to | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
give evidence to the inquiry, and the computers have disappeared. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
government have said they are doing all they can. There it is pretty | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
rich coming from Labour, who for five years did nothing about these | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
phone hacking allegations. David Cameron has already arranged to | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
meet Ed Miliband next week to discuss finalising the inquiries. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
News International has denied allegations that vital e-mails have | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
been destroyed. Rebekah Brooks has written to the Home Affairs Select | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Committee stressing she knew nothing about the hacking of Milly | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
Dowler's phone or any others. But tonight in Wapping, a chapter in | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
newspaper history is closing, as a tabloid that uncovered many | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
scandals is brought down by its own making. | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
Tonight Ed Miliband said next week he would force a Commons vote on | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
News Corporation's bid to take full control of BSkyB. The Labour leader | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
says that should be put on hold until the police investigation is | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
complete. Well in another development tonight | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner John Yates has said he | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
regrets not having done more when he reviewed the initial | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
investigation into phone hacking. He was speaking to the Sunday | :05:36. | :05:46. | |
:05:46. | :05:46. | ||
Telegraph. Our home affairs correspondent June Kelly is here. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
An interesting new twist? Yes, he didn't do the initial investigation | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
but he looked at the scope of it and decided there was not | :05:56. | :06:05. | |
sufficient evidence to reopen it in 2009. Now he says it is his | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
greatest regret. He says he would never have reached the conclusion | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
not to reopen the investigation. He says I am accountable, it happened | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
on my watch and I could have done more. I regrettably said the | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
initial inquiry was a success. He said the revelation that Milly | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
Dowler's phone had been hacked was awful for him. It has emerged | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
tonight that Milly Dowler's mother and sister will be meeting Nick | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
Clegg on Monday. They have also requested a meeting with David | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Cameron and we are told that is likely. | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
The BBC has learned that an official review into an RAF | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
helicopter crash on the Mull of Kintyre 17 years ago, which killed | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
all 29 people on board, is expected to say that the two pilots should | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
not have been accused of gross negligence. The independent report, | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
:07:05. | :07:06. | ||
chaired by retired Scottish judge Lord Philip, is due out next week. | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
It was the RAF's worst peacetime accident. In 1994, the RAF Chinook | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Special Forces crew were taking senior intelligence officers from | :07:19. | :07:28. | |
Northern Ireland to Inverness. The helicopter hit a cloud covered Mull | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
of Kintyre. The two pilots flying the to knock helicopter, Jonathan | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
Tapper and Richard Cook. In 1995, an inquiry found no conclusive | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
evidence to determine the cause of the crash but a review by two RAF | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
air marshals found the pilot grossly negligent for flying too | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
fast and low in pick fog. In 1996 a fatal accident inquiry left open | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
the question of blame and in 2000 a report said pilot error could not | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
be proved beyond doubt. Last year, the current inquiry opened and the | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Defence Secretary Liam Fox asked Lord Philip to conduct a review of | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
the evidence. A to his right to say that gross negligence was the wrong | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
verdict, but I do believe there is some culpability by the aircraft | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
crew. They did after all fly in to help. They campaign for a new | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
inquiry was supported by the families of the pilots, as well as | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
some senior politicians. These pilots were skilful, honourable | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
young men doing their duty. That is what the test pilot on the Squadron | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
things, what most of the experts think, just not what the old air | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
marshals thought. Susan lost her husband Ian in the crash. I am | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
delighted for the families of those pilots that they have had their | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
names cleared today finally, but we all knew this should have happened. | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
But now, maybe other recommendations need to be made. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
MoD spokesperson said an announcement would be made to | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Parliament shortly, but until that time it would be inappropriate to | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
comment. Tens of thousands of people have | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
attended a ceremony in South Sudan to mark its formal declaration of | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
independence. The birth of the world's newest nation comes after | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
two decades of civil war, which cost the lives of some 2 million | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
people. A peace deal signed in 2005 paved the way for autonomy, but | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
there are fears of renewed conflict between north and south. From Juba, | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
the new capital of South Sudan, Will Ross reports. The moment that | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
the clocks turned midnight, the party began. Euphoria on the | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
streets of Juba. Then for the official ceremony to mark the birth | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
of this new nation, they came in their tens of thousands. Every | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
vantage point was taken. Even the old enemy was here. Relations are | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
still strained between the north and the south, but President Omar | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
Al-Bashir came with a message of peace. As the President of South | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
Sudan was sworn in, he promised better days ahead for this troubled | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
country. Promote the unity of the people of South Sudan. Today was | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
all about celebrating the end of a long struggle for freedom. Well, | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
this is the moment that so many people have been waiting for, the | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
birth of a new nation. South Sudan has been waiting a long time for | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
this. I feel so happy, really! There are so many people who are | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
really very happy indeed. Dignitaries from around the world | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
were here. They want the aid money spent well. It will be tough love, | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
really, to use that expression. We are giving them a lot of help, | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
support, advice and expertise, but also saying it must be a | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
functioning state. This new nation faces great challenges, but today | :11:08. | :11:17. | |
people here were full of pride. British aid agencies say the public | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
is responding with "overwhelming generosity" to a joint fund-raising | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
appeal launched yesterday to help millions of people affected by | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
severe drought in eastern Africa. �6 million had been donated in the | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
past 24 hours. The crisis has prompted thousands of Somalis a day | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
to flee to Kenya and Ethiopia in search of food and medical | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
treatment. Our correspondent Ben Brown reports from the Dadaab camp | :11:39. | :11:49. | |
:11:49. | :11:50. | ||
on the border between Kenya and Somalia. It is their first sight of | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
real food for weeks. These refugees have just arrived from Somalia, and | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
once they get a yellow wristband they are entitled to immediate | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
rations of food, enough to last them a fortnight. They are there | :12:05. | :12:15. | |
:12:15. | :12:17. | ||
are the fortunate few. Beyond this camp, swathes of the -- East Africa | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
are suffering from malnutrition. It is expected 10 million others in | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
this corner of Africa will need help in the next few months. Those | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
who have not yet got their rations look on enviously. More people | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
arrive here every day to escape Somalia's drought and civil war. | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
The people are very weak, some of them have walked for days on the | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
road without food. They are arriving severely malnourished, | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
particularly the children. They are arriving in very bad condition. | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
most severely malnourished are brought here to the intensive | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
feeding centre. The world may have woken up to this emergency, and | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
more aid may be on its way, but for now these children are still | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
:13:17. | :13:18. | ||
perilously thin. Some so weak they can barely eat. While some can | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
barely cry. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
are in California, as they continue their first foreign tour since | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
their marriage in April. Tonight they're at a charity polo match. | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
Later the couple will attend a BAFTA dinner in Los Angeles. Our | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
royal correspondent Peter Hunt is at the Santa Barbara Polo and | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
Racquet Club. They have been called the USA's most famous tourist, they | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
are here for an exclusive polo match which has been made all the | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
more so by their presence. A suitably grand entrance for the | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
future of the British monarchy. It is an opportunity to mix pleasure | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
with serious fund-raising amongst the seriously rich. On a red carpet | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
which would not look out of place in a palace, a self-conscious | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
prince and his wife. This country got rid of the institution | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
centuries ago but remains endlessly fascinated by it. The Duke and the | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
:14:36. | :14:37. | ||
Duchess are here for Paul -- a game of polo. The prospect of being able | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
to let loose this afternoon is wonderful for me, that is what | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
sport is all about, be it football, polo, or whatever your preferred | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
sport is. In a place awash with champagne and celebrities, William | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
and Kate offer something else to guess paying thousands of dollars | :14:58. | :15:08. | |
:15:08. | :15:08. | ||
for the chance to rub shoulders with them. What is so important for | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
-- about this couple for California? They are young and | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
vital, and they have their great common touch. They are great | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
representatives of your great country. Willian is following in | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
the footsteps of his father and his mother. Diana captivated Americans | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
who treated her as a glamorous star. After lunch and more than 20 years | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
on, there will be a an echo of the past. William will play in the polo | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
competition, Kate will present the trophy. After the Polo, Hollywood | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
and royalty will collide at it after reception. It is being held | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
:16:03. | :16:04. | ||
to promote young British talent to people working in the film industry. | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
Now, the sport. It's a familiar story. England knocked out of a | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
football World Cup on penalties. This evening it was the turn of | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
England's women to suffer that fate. Beaten by France, after their | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
quarter-final had finished one all at the end of extra time. Keith | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
York has the details. There was more than a hint of deja vu in | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
England's tearful exit from the world cup quarter-final in Germany. | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
A penalty shoot-out had once again scuppered English hopes of a semi- | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
final spot. France are one of women's football's rising powers | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
and looked the part as they dominated for long spells of the | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
game. It was very much against the run of play then when Everton's | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
Jill Scott gave England the lead just shy of the hour mark. But | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
France continued to press and broke English hearts with an equaliser | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
three minutes from time through Elisse Bussaglia, forcing the game | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
into extra-time. Hope Powell's exhausted troops battled to avoid | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
those dreaded penalties. But when captain Faye White needed to find | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
the net, her spot-kick rattled off the crossbar. It was a gallant | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
effort, some really tired legs out there today. They performed | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
tremendously and did their very best to get this far, to take it to | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
the wire. Unfortunately, when it came to penalties, you have to | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
applaud France. France's delight was England's misery. The French | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
head for the semis, England head for the airport. | :17:32. | :17:39. |
