24/06/2014 The Papers

have all the latest from the world cop. `` World Cup.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

With me is Paul Johnson, Deputy Editor of the Guardian

and Neil Midgley, Media Commentator at Forbes.com.

Phone hacking is the main story in the Financial Times, which shows

Andy Coulson, the former News of the World editor, who's been found

And the Telegraph shows Andy Coulson's predecessor,

Rebekah Brooks, leaving the Old Bailey with her husband,

Charlie. They were both acquitted of charges relating to phone hacking.

Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks are both pictured

The Guardian front page is also devoted to the phone hacking trial.

And The Times devotes its front page to the not guilty

The Sun does the same. Let's begin. We are going to start with the

Guardian. It calls Andy Coulson eight criminal. This is an

extraordinary story. There is a lot more to come. The front pages are

really diverted. `` very divergent. We have had eight John boasts chart.

Six have pleaded guilty. This is extraordinarily. 12 more trials are

scheduled. One or two of the People's seem to be thinking that

this is he. But it is not. `` the papers. We have a lot of stories

Europe, saying that report murder is to be questioned. He is to be

questioned under caution. If we think that is the end of it we are

completely mistaken. The Guardian has been running with the story. The

suggestion that Andy Coulson, the criminal who had David Tanner and's

confidence, there were no questions of him being went to the hacking at

the time. What was the problem back then? It is the way that the

politicians have reacted to this today. The Guardian is showing

admirable restraint. It is not being triumphant. It has been the story

all along. Ed Miliband is saying that David Cameron's government is

tainted. He employed Andy Coulson. That was in 2007. David Cameron was

in opposition. Andy Coulson was a criminal. The police, it was the

job, not David Cameron's. They is the question of what that David

Cameron now. What should he have asked. But I do not think there is

any suggestion that anybody has any evidence... Any more than he was a

former editor of the News of the world. He was the one bad apple. It

was the crime from News International. Most politicians were

silent about this. The one bad apple defence ran for some time. We know

that there were the few bad apples. But as the Times points out, Rebekah

Brooks is not guilty. So was in the shop for cooking up this conspiracy?

Senior management had no idea. It is very interesting the week that the

newspapers are covering this. The Guardian is talking about Andy

Coulson being guilty, but The Times is talking about Rebekah Brooks

being not guilty. This is being presented as effectively for the

Rupert Murdoch empire. You will remember when Rupert Murdoch came to

London, he was asked about his priority. He says this one, pointing

at Rebekah Brooks. She was a confidant of the Empire. She has

been cleaned up. `` cleared. It was even said that there might be

prosecutions in the United States. News International, is it going to

happen? We are not sure about this. Your reporters today have been

saying that the media corporate charters. Imagine if this was the

bank. If criminality cannot be proven at a certain level, there is

an attitude at the top for teaching responsibility. Look at what we have

seen at the BBC. It is not just if you people being found guilty, what

we have here... A court has found that Rebekah Brooks did not know.

But in terms of corporate responsibility it may be different.

The legal test that I read this was not the controlling mind of the

corporation, don't they know what was going on? Report Murdoch, James

Murdoch, what the new? `` Rupert Murdoch. The Daily Telegraph, is the

suggestion that this figure is thought it was the mode of nonsense?

That could be the case. One or two of the newspapers appear to be

calling it into question. But if the police have phoned criminality than

it needs to be posted. `` prostitute. `` pursued. Andy Coulson

is in the story here. Of course, all this, it brings into question the

regulation of the press and we also know that thousands of victims have

your phone 's hacked. One extra that I spoke to says it calls into

question the Leveson Inquiry. The Julie seems to have agreed that it

was the number of bad apples. `` jury. The Leveson Inquiry, was it a

waste of space? I would not go that far. Part of the motivation was to

say that the press should have been regulated. The field to our nails

this. `` They failed to unearth this. An eight`month trial? The

biggest statutory regulator of all is the police. The field. `` They

failed. But the PCC dead as well. They had to rely on them being a

complaint by somebody mentioned the story. That is going to be a new

system of press regulation. The victims of the hacking will say it

is not legally change from the old system. They are not playing with

the statutorily underpinning. But things have changed. The new body

for publications that sign up, the Daily Telegraph already committed,

though will be proactive Poles. `` powers. Has the Guardian signed up?

No, but the only reason to sign up would be if it was convinced that it

had credibility to the public. What about the people who think it should

be independent of the editors? If it is not God credibility, it is seen

as independent, I do not know what the future is. We will reserve

position on that. We also have a self`regulatory system within our

own organisation. We are going to move on. The hacking story is on the

front of every newspaper. Inside page of the Financial Times. We have

discussed this. Has this damaged David Cameron in a more long`term

we? `` long term way? I doubt it. I think the public queue about this

when the Milly Dowler revelation came out but I am not so sure that

they do any more. They have probably formed the opinion of David Cameron

and his relationship with Andy Coulson before this verdict. When

you have got the general election in less than a year, the question about

somebody's judgement in hiding a spin doctor seven`year cycle is

probably not going to be top of the list. Ed Miliband said, they went

after News International. Is this a good day for him? I do not know.

Though will be more questions about this, for the Cabinet Secretary as

well as David Cameron. The vetting procedure just seemed to be a Nord.

`` nod. In the future I think they will be very careful about what they

want from the spin doctors. More thought on that in the future. It

has been good having you here. All of the fallout from the hacking

trial. It is time for the sport. Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm

Thomas Niblock. Good evening. England are on the way home from the

World Cup after a scoreless draw with Costa Rica, but the big talking

point from Brazil surrounds Liverpool?s Luis Suarez. Italy

defender Georgio Chiellini has claimed he was bitten by Suarez as
