Good afternoon. Rupert Murdoch has made a public | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
apology for the phone-hacking scandal, taking out prominent | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
advertisements in today's newspapers. It comes after a second | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
of his most senior executives resigned. Les Hinton, chief | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
executive of the media group's Dow Jones, was chairman of News | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
International at the time Milly Dowler's phone was hacked. This | :00:38. | :00:48. | |

report contains flash photography. The full-page apology is carried in | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
many papers. Even fierce competitors such as the Guardian, | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
which campaign to expose phone hacking. "we are sorry". It goes on | :01:01. | :01:10. | |
This was Rupert Murdoch with some of his most trusted executive six | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
years ago. He is still in his job but they have all lost theirs. Andy | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Coulson resigned in 2007, saying phone hacking had happened on his | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
watch. Rebekah Brooks, the chief executive in the UK stepped down | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
yesterday. She said she felt a deep responsibility towards the people | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
who have been heard. Les Hinton resigned yesterday and was chief | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
executive at the time hacking happened at the News of the World. | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
Mr Murdoch is looking increasingly isolated. This was Les Hinton in | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
New York recently. In a statement he said he had been increments of | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
what had apparently happened at the News of the World. -- ignorant. Mr | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
Murdoch met the family of Milly Dowler yesterday. His journalists | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
are thought to have hacked into her messages and even deleted some. It | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
was heard he held his head in his hands as he apologised. He then | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
came out to make a brief statement. I was appalled to find out what had | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
happened. I have apologised and I have nothing further to say. I made | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
personal level, Rupert Murdoch looked very shook up and upset | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
about what had happened. I think this was a personal apology. A new | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
front is now opening against Mr Murdoch. Jude Law says another of | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
his papers, the Sun newspaper hack into his voicemail messages. News | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
International say the accusations are cynical and deliberately missed | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
you devious. -- must devious. The BBC has learned that the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
Government is preparing to make further cuts to the size of the | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
army to help pay for greater investment in reserve forces such | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
as the Territorial Army. The army is already losing thousands of | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
posts over the next four years. Our political correspondent, Norman | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
Smith, has more. Britain relies less on volunteer | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
reservists to fight alongside regular soldiers find countries | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
like America or Australia. The Territorial Army has been in | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
apparent decline. Now, ministers are considering boosting the ranks | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
of Britain's 36,000 strong part- time soldiers. An independent | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
report is expected to call for a major recruitment drive, offering | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
better pay, training and responsibility. It is understood | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
this will be paid for by further cuts in the size of the regular | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
Army wants British combat troops were drawn from Afghanistan. This | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
will be on top of cuts previously announced, with the Army already | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
due to lose around 7,000 soldiers. The MoD has declined to comment but | :04:01. | :04:10. | |
:04:11. | :04:23. | ||
said details will be unveiled in Parliament next week. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Police have been attacked during a riot last night in Portadown in | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
Country Armagh. Petrol bombs, bricks and fireworks were among the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
missiles thrown at officers during the disturbances. Police responded | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
by firing baton rounds. That is it, there will be more at | :04:40. | :04:50. | |

Two people have died after becoming trapped in a slurry pit on a farm | :04:55. | :04:58. | |

as they rescued two other people A policeman has been shot and | :05:16. | :05:20. | |

him on foot in Croydon. The policeman's injuries are not | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
thought to be life threatening and three men have been arrested. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
One of the largest ever seizures of child pornography has been found at | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
a home in East London. Around a million indecent images were | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
discovered by the Metropolitan Police Paedophile Unit, some of | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
which are categorised as level five - the most serious. 57 year old | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Robert Barrow, from Plaistow, pleaded guilty to making indecent | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
images of children. He'll be sentenced in September. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
A new way of instantly reporting rubbish, graffiti or dog mess has | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
been developed by a council in South East London. A special app | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
has been created for residents in the Borough of Lewisham to use on | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
their mobile phones, which instantly connects you to the right | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
department to deal with the problem you want to report. | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
Rubbish, graffiti and fly-tipping. The unsightly consequences of anti- | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
social behaviour. Now there is a high-tech way for good citizens to | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
fight back. A smartphone application that report problems | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
with just a touch. The device catch as the location and with a text it | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
is easy to post it to a public website. We can see what the | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
problem is and send someone to do with it. The application, pioneered | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
in Lewisham works with any smartphone. The user is prompted to | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
take a photograph, categorise it from anything to dog fouling to pot | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
holes and then it is automatically sent to the department to tackle it. | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
They have reduced graffiti in Lewisham's by 73% and they have | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
speeded up their response times. In 2003 used to take them 2.5 days to | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
clear up graffiti. It has now been reduced to half a day. | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
Now the weather: The rain - which has been heavy at times in London, | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
will mainly clear this afternoon. But there will still be the | :07:20. | :07:23. |
