The hacking scandal forces Rupert Murdoch to drop his bid to take | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
full control of BSkyB. The News Corporation boss bows to | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
relentless pressure after crisis talks with his top executives. Nine | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
days of allegations centring on the News of the World put the Murdoch | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
empire on a collision course with Parliament. I think this is the | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
right decision. I have been saying that this company clearly needs to | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
sort out the problems there are at News International, at the News of | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
the World. This is a victory for people up and down this country who | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
have been appalled by the revelations about phone hacking. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
comes as David Cameron meets the family of Milly Dowler and | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
announces an inquiry into the scandal. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
After another remarkable day, we'll be asking if this is a watershed | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
for Rupert Murdoch and Parliament. Also on tonight's programme: 17 | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
years on from the Mull of Kintyre crash - the Chinook pilots wrongly | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
accused are vindicated. The Papal aide who failed victims | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
of sexual abuse in Ireland - a new report says the Catholic church | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
ignored rules as recently as three years ago. We're going to make this | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
happen, sir. And a date with one of the world's | :01:26. | :01:29. | |

News of the World for hacking Good evening. Welcome to the BBC | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
News at 6.00pm. After days of intense pressure over phone hacking | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
and corruption allegations, Rupert Murdoch made a dramatic U-turn this | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
afternoon, withdrawing his plans to take over the broadcaster BSkyB. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
The announcement from News Corporation came as MPs prepared | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
for a cross-party vote on the deal and as the Prime Minister announced | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
a wide-ranging inquiry into the scandal. More on that in a moment, | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
but our business editor Robert Peston has our first report tonight | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
:02:29. | :02:34. | ||
on the day the bid was dropped. It does contain some flash photography. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Rupert Murdoch, the great news mogul, in the news for what he | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
would see as the wrong reasons. Putting on a brave face before one | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
of the great humiliations of his career, the abandonment of his | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
attempt to own all of BSkyB. Here's News Corporation's explosive | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
:03:01. | :03:10. | ||
This, just minutes before, was that appalling climate for Mr Murdoch. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Mr Speaker, when such a serious cloud hangs over News Corporation | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
and with the abuses and the systematic pattern of deceit we've | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
seen, does he agree with me - and he clearly does - that it would be | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
quite wrong for them to expand their stake in the British media? | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
And this was the Prime Minister just a little bit later. What - I | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
think this is the right decision. I think this company clearly needs to | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
sort out the problems there are at News International, at News of the | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
World. That must be the priority, not takeovers, so the right | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
decision, but also the right decision for the country too. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
the second massive setback for Mr Murdoch. Just days ago he closed | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
the News of the World because his reputation had been so tarnished by | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
the allegations just ten days ago that the News of the World | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
instigated the alleged hacking of the phone of the teenager Milly | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Dowler and the parent of the Soham victims and that the privacy of | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
families of soldiers killed in action had been invaded along with | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
other shocking revelations. This is a victory for people up and down | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
this country who have been appalled by the revelation about phone | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
hacking, who have thought it's beyond belief that Mr Murdoch could, | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
when this criminal investigation is going on, expand his stake in the | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
British media. Rupert Murdoch was keen to increase his ownership of | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
British Sky Broadcasting from 39% to 100% because it would have given | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
him access to the vast amounts of cash generated by the UK's biggest | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
television business. In the past year BSkyB's profits were around �1 | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
billion which would have been very useful to Mr Murdoch's News | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Corporation at a time when his British newspapers have been | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
struggling to maintain their revenues. As for BSkyB's other | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
shareholders, they've also paid a big price from the failure of the | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
takeover. BSkyB's share prices falling around 20% over the past | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
nine days, wiping almost �3 billion from the value of the company. So | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
what has Rupert Murdoch lost? was a once-in a lifetime | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
opportunity to acquire 100% of a business which has extraordinarily | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
good prospects, which has a growth trajectory which is well understood. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
It would have substantially increased the company by the order | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
of a magnitude of a 20-25% increase. February 5th, 1989, the dawn of | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
television's new age. Mr Murdoch would see himself, rightly, many | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
would say, as the founder of BSkyB, so to be told by politicians who, | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
until recently, were seen as his creaturess, that he shouldn't press | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
ahead and do as they insisted - well, it's setback as any in his | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
decades at the pinnacle of the media industry. Robert is with me | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
in the studio. It has been such a dramatic turn of events. How | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
damaged personally do you think Rupert Murdoch is? He hasn't had a | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
completely uncheckered career, but this is as big a crisis as he's | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
ever faced. Only days ago out of the blue he closed the News of the | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
World which itself came only Davis those explosive, shocking | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
revelation that the News of the World may have hacked into the | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
mobile phone of the murdered teenager Milly Dowler. Now, he's | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
had to abandon, possibly forever, his cherished ambition of owning | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
all of BSkyB, a business that he created, so the humiliation is | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
immense, and background for him is also incredibly difficult. His | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
recent investments in MySpace, in the Wall Street Journal, are not | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
perceived to have gone well. He took an enormous loss on the sale | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
of MySpace recently, so investors in his business are getting restive. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Then there is the issue of what's going to come out of the policing | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
inquiry, by the other inquiries set up today by the Prime Minister. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
More shockingation expected about what went on at the News of the | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
World, revelation that could damage the reputation of his business | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
further, and if the reputation of his business is damaged, the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
revenues - precious revenues for Rupert Murdoch of his businesses - | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
may also suffer. Robert, for the moment, thank you. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Well, the inquiry announced today by David Cameron will have the | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
power to summon newspaper proprietors, journalists, police | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
and politicians who'll give evidence under oath. It came after | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
immense political pressure on the Prime Minister from the opposition | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
leader. Our deputy political editor James Landale has the details of | :07:34. | :07:44. | |
the hacking inquiry. If anything has transformed this row, it has | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
been the hacking of phones belonging not to celebrities, but | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
to ordinary people. Today their unofficial representatives, the | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
family of Milly Dowler, whose phone was allegedly hacked, came to | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Downing Street to tell David Cameron what they wanted. Finally, | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
he had an answer. There is a firestorm, if you like, that is | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
engulfing parts of the media, parts of the police, and indeed our | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
political system's ability to respond, and what we must do in the | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
coming days and weeks, is think, above all, of the victims like the | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
Dowler family who are watching this today and make doubly sure that we | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
get to the bottom of what happened and we prosecute those who are | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
guilty. He announced there will be one inquiry led by a judge, Lord | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Justice Leverson, who will be able to summon anyone and question them | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
under oath. He'll start by looking at the culture, practises and | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
ethics of the press, their contacts with politicians and the police and | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
recommend a new regulatory regime, one that'll also examine cross- | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
media ownership. On this he'll report in 12 months. The judge will | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
also look separately at the allegations of phone hacking within | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
News International and other papers, why police investigations failed | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
and why News International managers did not act. He'll also exam | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
inallegations of police bribery and the hacking affair, and some of | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
this inquiry will not begin until the police have finished their own | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
investigations. Mr Cameron also said that politicians should be | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
more open in their contacts with the media. I will be consulting the | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Cabinet Secretary on an amendment to the Ministerial Code to require | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
Ministers to record all meetings with newspaper and other media | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
proprietors, senior editors and executives regardless of the nature | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
of the meeting. But for all this, Mr Cameron was still under pressure | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
over Andy Coulson. His former communications chief was arrested | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
last week over allegations of hacking and corruption while he | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
edited News of the World. The Prime Minister said Mr Coulson had | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
assured him he knew nothing about phone hacking. He gave those self- | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
same assurances to the police, to a Select Committee of this House and | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
under oath to a court of law. If it turns out he lied, it won't just be | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
that he shouldn't have been in Government. It will be that he | :09:51. | :10:00. | |
should be prosecuted. It -- he just doesn't get it. I say this to the | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
Prime Minister: he was warned by the Deputy Prime Minister about | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
hiring Andy Coulson. He was warned by Lord Ashdown about hiring Andy | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
Coulson. He should apologise for the catastrophic error of judgment | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
he made in hiring Andy Coulson. David Cameron's relationship with | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
Andy Coulson has made this whole affair very tricky for him. His MPs | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
feel that he has been on the back foot, while the Labour leader Ed | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
Miliband has been making all the running. The Prime Minister's aides | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
hope that the launch today of this inquiry will help redress the | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
balance. Whatever that inquiry uncovers or concludes, though, the | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
relationship between Britain's politicians and the Murdochs will | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
never be quite the same again. Yes, they'll meet. They'll talk. But | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
Other news now. The families of two RAF pilots | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
whose helicopter crashed into the Mull of Kintyre 17 years ago have | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
finally seen them cleared of responsibility. The Chinook crash | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
in 1994 was the RAF's worst peacetime accident, killing all 29 | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
people onboard. Today the Defence Secretary Liam Fox said the pilots | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
should never have been accused of gross negligence. Our defence | :11:07. | :11:16. | |
correspondent Caroline Wyatt has the story. It was a flight which | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
lasted little over 17 minutes, but the arguments over what really | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
happened that day have lasted 17 years. This was the wreckage of the | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
RAF's worst peacetime accident. 29 people died, including some of the | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
brightest and the best in intelligence and counterterrorism. | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
The two pilots, Flight Lieutenants Jonathan Tapper and Richard Cook, | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
were blamed, found grossly negligent by the RAF for flying too | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
low and too fast before the crash. Ever since, Chris Cook has | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
campaigned to clear his brother's name. Today, there was simply | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
relief that after so many years he'd finally won through. | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
Absolutely delighted, very taken aback. I was not expecting we would | :12:00. | :12:09. | |
get quite that much today, to be and that was it. Today Jonathan | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
Tapper's father Mike stood with those who had campaigned on the | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
family's behalf for many years and finally heard the words they'd | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
waited for for so long. I have written to the widows of the two | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
pilots, to the father of Jonathan Tapper and the brother of Richard | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Cook to express the Ministry of Defence's apology for the distress | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
which was caused to them by the findings of negligence. I also wish | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
to express that apology publicly in this House today. For Sue Phoenix, | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
watching that statement at home this afternoon, brought everything | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
back. She lost her husband Ian in the crash, an IUC counterterrorism | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
expert. I'm no longer angry. I don't get angry about anything. I'm | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
very, very sad. I think it's the sadness of the unnecessary | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
suffering for all the families, yes, but for those two families in | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
particular, the fact they've lost other loved ones in their families, | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
that didn't get to see their sons' names cleared, yes, I am sad. | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
questions raised over the chin Clinton's safety over the crash, | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
the review concluded we may never know what happened in those last | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
desperate minutes over the Mull of Kintyre, but for the families, | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
today's apology marked the end of a long, bitter battle to clear the | :13:20. | :13:29. | |
pilots' names. At least 17 people have been killed | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
and dozens injured by three simultaneous explosions in the | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
Indian city of Mumbai. All three occurred during the evening rush | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
hour, placing the city on a state of high alert. The attacks are the | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
worst in Mumbai for nearly three years when a co-ordinated siege | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
killed nearly 170 people. A retired Irish bishop who was an | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
aide to three Popes has been singled out in a hard-hitting new | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
report into child sex abuse in the Catholic Church. Uncovering serious | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
failings in the way the authorities dealt with child abuse, the report | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
says the church cared more about its reputation than child welfare | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
and that only three years ago reports of abuse were being kept | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
from police. Our Ireland correspondent Mark Simpson reports. | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
He was the Pope's right-hand man. Father John McGee was not just | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
personal secretary to John Paul II, but three Popes, but today the | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
retired bishop stands accused of involvement in the Irish Catholic | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
Church's latest scandal. It was in his diocese that clerical child sex | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
abuse took place, but wasn't reported by the church to the | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
police, and it happened as recently as three years ago at a time when | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
the Irish Catholic Church was telling the church there would | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
never be another cover-up. It is truly scandalous that people who | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
presented a public face of concern continue to maintain a private | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
agenda of concealment and evasion. After revelations about Irish | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
paedophile priests in the early 1990s, new guidelines were | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
introduced to ensure all allegations were then reported to | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
the police, but in Cloin, the rules were largely ignored and for those | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
who complained to the church about being abused as children, the lack | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
of action left them feeling helpless. It literally feels like | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
being contaminated by a horrible disease. I feel as if I have really | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
been touched by the devil, and that is something that nobody will ever | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
fix for me, you know? After so many scandals in recent years, the | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
Catholic Church in Ireland is not only losing followers, but its | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
special place in Irish society. In Cloin, there is a sense of shame. | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
humbly apologise on my own belaugh as administrator of the diocese and | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
on behalf of the clergy, to all who suffered and to their families. I | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
am appalled by the depth and damage of suffering. He retired as bishop | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
last year. In a statement tonight he admitted he could have done more | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
to help some victims of abuse and Our top story tonight: News | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
Corporation has dropped its bid to take full control of BSkyB. | :16:15. | :16:19. | |

In Libya, Colonel Gaddafi's forces have begun a counter attack in the | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
West of the country against rebels hoping to advance from their on to | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
the capital, Tripoli. The fighting has already caused civilians to | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
flee their homes into the Nafusa mountains. This report comes from | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
Gualish, a village caught in the crossfire. This was the Libyan | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
rabbles' most forward position in the western mountains until today. | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
-- rebels'. They took this ground a week ago, part of a steady if slow | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
:17:28. | :17:29. | ||
advance. Gunfire this this morning, but the rebels are sure as it is | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
just their own men waking up the Government forces. The rebels are | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
in these positions and the Gaddafi forces are in the next town, the | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
next place in the crossfire. Well, it was. That might seem ambitious | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
now. The rebels have been jolted by the realisation that the other side | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
is advancing, not just taking pot- shots from the town. There is a | :17:57. | :18:06. | |
vehicle coming, he says. Why is it? -- where is it? All around us, the | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
rebels' frontline is collapsing. It is a chaotic and sometimes panicky | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
retreat. They tried to regroup at the next checkpoint. Let's go back | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
to fight, says one. No, says his friend. We only have one box of | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
ammunition. What can we do with that? This is a highly strategic | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
area. Beyond it lies the road to Tripoli. The rebels say they will | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
march on the capital in just a few weeks. They have rejected talks | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
with the regime, confident that they have the forward momentum. | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
Little of that was in evidence today. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
An investigation has begun into why an elderly dementia patient was | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
left at home for three days without food or water. 85 year-old Beryl | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Carter from Manchester was meant to be looked after by Care UK, but the | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
company said it was not cold that she had been discharged from | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
hospital. -- not told. Unemployment has fallen again with | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
the latest figure for the three months to make at 2.45 million, | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
which is down by 26,000. The number of people claiming jobseeker's | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
allowance has gone up. Many areas of the country continue to face job | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
shortages, and others are struggling to find workers with the | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
right skills. It is a world-beating industry, a | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
cluster of firms in an area of the Midlands known as Motorsport Valley. | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
Growth is accelerating, new staff are being recruited. But there is a | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
problem on the road ahead. It was on the drawing board... Swan of the | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
top names in British motor sport, David Richards, told me what it was. | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
He runs Prodrive, a big name in rallying and design and manufacture. | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
He just cannot find enough of the right staff. I need 100 engineers, | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
skilled and experienced. They have to be out there somewhere. He says | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
if he cannot find them soon, the progress of the company could be | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
held back. It will inevitably inhibit our growth. It is | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
inhibiting it today. We are not taking on the tasks that we could | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
give we have the people and the resources to do it. Unemployment | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
may be relatively high, but some industries have vacancies and | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
cannot find workers with the right qualifications to fill them. This | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
is an employer trying to recruit permanent staff and offering career | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
prospects. For some other employers it is rather different. They are | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
not as confident about future growth in the economy, so they are | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
reluctant to commit themselves to taking on full-time workers. You | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
have only got to go down the road to this Tikrit ment Agency to see | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
evidence of that. Here, most of the vacancies are for part-time and | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
temporary workers and there is no shortage of applicants. | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
competition is very strong. You would be looking at general | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
administration vacancies, and we would get up to 50 applications. I | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
remember one recently when we had over 100 and we had to withdraw the | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
first this month. In rural Oxfordshire, -- we had to withdraw | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
the advertisement. In rural Oxfordshire, there is another | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
aspect of the job Meggitt on display. This couple runs a | :21:34. | :21:42. | |
catering business. They had a job, step forward those born in the UK, | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
but the rest of from other parts of the world. I went from waiter to | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
assistant manager, step by step. Catering is well known for taking | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
on casual and temporary workers, and bosses here say that local | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
recruitment is difficult. Foreign people have a very good | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
work ethic. They know that the job needs to be done and they get on | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
with it. They bring a lot more flexibility to the business. What | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
is it about British workers? think everybody expects a full-time, | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
permanent contract, and if they don't get that position than they | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
are not prepared to put the hard graft in. There are jobs out there, | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
but matching them with the right people and making sure they have | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
the correct skills and attitude is a big challenge for the economy. | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
Now, she is one of Hollywood's most glamorous women and he is the US | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
Marine in Afghanistan. They have never met, but after a proposal on | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
the internet, Sergeant Scott Moore has a date with the Black Swan stop | :22:47. | :22:57. | |
:22:57. | :22:58. | ||
Mila Kunis. -- Hollywood star. Never mind different world, | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
different planets. He lives in a dusty checkpoint and she lives in | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
Hollywood. But Scott Moore needs a date for the regimental ball. | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
want to take a moment out of my day to invite you to the Marine Corps | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
Ball on November 18th. His bold invitation was seen by 800,000 | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
people on YouTube, but not by the actress herself. What? I was | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
invited to go to the ball? Do it for your country. Her fellow chat- | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
show guest Justin Timberlake played matchmaker. You know what, man? I | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
am going to work on this for you. He invited you to the Marine Corps | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
Ball. When is it? November. November what? I will go. Mila | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
Kunis is promoting her latest film of Justin Timberlake and can now | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
look forward to a trip to North Carolina, swapping the movies for | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
the mess hall. She has promised Scott Moore that she will not stand | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
him up. I am going to make this happen, sir. And in true showbiz | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
style, her people have already been in touch with his people. It is | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
officially the date. The identity of the Euromillions | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
ticket holder and that has won the jackpot is still a mystery. The win | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
that match all five numbers and both lucky stars to win the prize | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
of one and would and �61 million in the draw last night. It is not yet | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
know whether the overnight multi- millionaire is an individual or in | :24:30. | :24:37. | |
a syndicate. -- �161 million. Now more on the news that News | :24:37. | :24:44. | |
Corporation have dropped the bid to take full control of BSkyB. Nick | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
Robinson is in Westminster. Even Rupert Murdoch would not have | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
imagined such a change in perception of this bid. A dramatic | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
turnaround. Only last week this deal would go through, and only | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
yesterday it looked as though the Empire was just regrouping to fight | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
at the later date. But now it is over and MPs are celebrating. There | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
is an air of self-congratulation, that Parliament stood up to the | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Murdoch empire and won. All parties decided to back the motion proposed | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
by Ed Miliband to say that the bid should not go ahead. They think | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
they have seen off their media tormentors, for now at least. | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
today marker line in the sand? The bid being dropped and the start of | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
the inquiry? It is far from over. His hacking scandal has been built | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
up bit by bit and layer by layer. At first nothing seemed to be | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
moving and based people ignored it, frankly, but political gravity | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
cannot be ignored for ever. This has been swept away, not just the | :25:46. | :25:55. | |
bid, but also the News of the World. Now it has in its path, the secret | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
of relationships between politicians, the media and the | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
police. The Prime Minister has had a better day-to-day, having | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
announced an inquiry, but all those questions about why he hired a | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
former editor of the News of the World will remain and also | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
questioned about his relationship with the Murdoch empire. The truth | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
is that the avalanche moves on and nobody knows who it will damage | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
Now the weather. Some sunshine out there this evening but it is not | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
exactly a balmy July night. It will be chilly again outside as skies | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
remain largely clear. It has been quite cloudy throughout the day in | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
eastern England, and it will thicken up in East Anglia and rain | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
will come in through the night. Elsewhere it is dry with clear | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
spells and quite cold, with temperatures down to single digits | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
in northern England. A cool start to Thursday that many places will | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
start off with sunshine. In East Anglia it will be gloomy and quite | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
wet, that is the exception. In the West, expect sunshine and | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
temperatures up to 23 degrees in Bristol, maybe. Sunny spells for | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
most of the day across Wales with just a small chance of showers here. | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
Decent spells to the East of Northern Ireland, with the cloud | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
increasing further West and maybe some light rain later in the day, | :27:23. | :27:32. | |
as they could be across western Scotland. Showering across northern | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
Scotland. Fine for northern England and eastern Scotland. In | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
Lincolnshire there will be more cloud, especially in Norfolk and | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
Suffolk. Some of that rain will be in Essex and possibly Kent, | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
affecting the goal. The winds will be lively for the first day of the | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
Open. Friday sees some sunny spells. Elsewhere the cloud increases and | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
we will see outbreaks of rain. It will turn cooler and better, and | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
windier for all of us throughout the weekend. If you like the | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
weather, don't forget the show that is on in an hour, live on BBC One. | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
I suggest you have your camera ready if you are going to tune in. | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
I will explain more tonight! A reminder of the main news | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
tonight: News Corporation has dropped the bid to take full | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
control of BSkyB. This came as David Cameron met the family of | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
Milly Dowler and announced an inquiry into the hacking scandal. | :28:29. | :28:33. |
