:00:10. > :00:14.News International denies claims that e-mails in relation to the

:00:14. > :00:18.phone hacking scandal at the News of the World were deliberately

:00:18. > :00:23.destroyed. As journalists work on the last ever edition, the Labour

:00:23. > :00:28.has called for a start to the inquiry.

:00:28. > :00:33.A review into the Mull of Kintyre helicopter crash 17 years ago

:00:33. > :00:37.concludes that the pilots should not have been blamed for gross

:00:37. > :00:41.negligence. And South Sudan formerly declares its independence.

:00:41. > :00:45.The Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge arrive in Los Angeles and

:00:45. > :00:49.see some familiar faces as they continue their Royal Tour.

:00:49. > :00:59.In Formula One, Mark Webber is to start in poll position at

:00:59. > :01:07.

:01:07. > :01:12.Good evening. Downing Street has insisted it is

:01:12. > :01:15.working as quickly as possible to set up a judicial inquiry into the

:01:15. > :01:19.allegations of phone hacking at the News of the World. Labour says that

:01:19. > :01:25.the judge leading the investigation should be apointed to preserve

:01:25. > :01:29.evidence. It follows claims that millions of e-mails relating to the

:01:29. > :01:33.inquiry have been deleted. Staff the in order are preparing the

:01:33. > :01:35.final edition of the paper. Our correspondent is at News

:01:35. > :01:41.International headquarters in Wapping now.

:01:41. > :01:43.Collette? Yes, well a short time ago Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of

:01:43. > :01:47.News Corporation said that the decision to close the News of the

:01:47. > :01:52.World was a collective one. He is to fly to the UK tomorrow to try to

:01:52. > :01:56.sort out this mess, but it will not come as comfort for the staff

:01:56. > :02:01.nationwide there as they are paying a high price for the shameful

:02:01. > :02:05.behaviour of a few. He used to be their editor. Today

:02:05. > :02:11.he esent them a message. I think that this is a very sad day

:02:11. > :02:19.for the News of the World. More importantly for the staff.

:02:19. > :02:23.They are brilliant, to my mind brilliant professional people.

:02:23. > :02:27.Coulson himself has been swept up by the phone hacking scrappedal,

:02:27. > :02:31.arrested and questioned by the police yesterday, he said he knew

:02:31. > :02:35.nothing about the practise when he was in charge here. No matter, the

:02:35. > :02:38.avalanche of revelations has brought down the paper. These

:02:38. > :02:41.journalists today were working their last shift.

:02:41. > :02:46.We are pulling together, I think that we have so much personal pride

:02:46. > :02:49.in what we do and that will definitely come across in the

:02:49. > :02:54.newspaper. Rupert Murdoch is not leafing

:02:54. > :02:58.anything to chance. Flying into London this weekend to take charge

:02:58. > :03:02.of the biggest crisis 6 his company's News Corporation's

:03:02. > :03:05.history. He has a lot to deal with. Already the Prime Minister has

:03:05. > :03:10.announced two inquiries, to untangle the web of deceit at the

:03:10. > :03:13.News of the World. One to be led by a judge to investigate why phone

:03:13. > :03:17.hacking spread and why the police failed to uncover it. The other to

:03:17. > :03:21.look into the ethics and the regulations of the media, but

:03:21. > :03:25.Labour is demanding a judge is appointed today in case evidence

:03:25. > :03:30.destroyed. We need a proper inquiry, it will

:03:30. > :03:34.be I measurably more difficult for the judge if the staff have all

:03:34. > :03:39.been dispersed and he cannot get in touch with them to give evidence to

:03:40. > :03:49.the inquiry and to -- and if all of the computers have disappeared.

:03:50. > :03:53.

:03:53. > :03:57.And News International denied the allegations that it had destroyed

:03:57. > :04:02.some evidence. So, today is the final chant fer the News of the

:04:02. > :04:06.World's long history. A tabloid that uncovered many scandals,

:04:06. > :04:10.ultimately brought down by one of its own making.

:04:10. > :04:14.Well, here is the irony, tomorrow, although it is the last edition of

:04:14. > :04:20.the News of the World, a double print run has been ordered. Coppice

:04:20. > :04:24.of the paper are selling on e-mail. What story will lead the final

:04:24. > :04:28.edition, if it is a story at all, not just a goodbye, we don't know

:04:28. > :04:33.yet, but we only have a few hours to wait until we find out.

:04:33. > :04:37.Thank you very much. Now we can cross to Westminster and

:04:37. > :04:42.our Political Correspondent eCarole Walker. So, Labour are getting

:04:42. > :04:45.mileage out of keeping the pressure on David Cameron? Yes, I think that

:04:45. > :04:49.this is an attempt to keep the political pressure on the Prime

:04:49. > :04:54.Minister. As you heard, Labour's Deputy Leader, Harriet Harman

:04:55. > :04:58.saying that the clock is ticking. That once the paper is closed and

:04:58. > :05:01.the staff dispersed for an inquiry it will be difficult to get to the

:05:01. > :05:06.bottom of what has happened. Downing Street has asked -- been

:05:06. > :05:11.asked to come up with names of a judge. It wants to consult with the

:05:11. > :05:15.alleged victims of the phone hacking and get legal advice for

:05:15. > :05:18.the right remit. This is to be discussed with Ed

:05:18. > :05:21.Miliband on Wednesday. Privately, Conservative sources are saying it

:05:21. > :05:27.is ridiculous for Labour to make political capital out of this.

:05:27. > :05:32.Thank you very much. The BBC has learned that an

:05:33. > :05:36.official review into an RAF helicopter crash on the Mull of

:05:36. > :05:42.Kintyre 17 years ago that killed all 29 people on board is expected

:05:42. > :05:46.to say that the two pilots should not have been accused of gross

:05:46. > :05:54.negligence. The independent report, is expected to come out next week.

:05:54. > :06:02.It was presided over by Lord Philip. It was the RAF's worst peace time

:06:02. > :06:06.accident. The RAF Chinook Special Forces aircrew were taking 25

:06:06. > :06:11.senior intelligence and security officers from Northern Ireland to

:06:11. > :06:16.Inverness. It hit a cloud-covered Mull of Kintyre, killing all on

:06:16. > :06:19.board. The two pilots flying the Chinook

:06:19. > :06:24.were Flight Lieutenant Jonathan Tapper and Flight Lieutenant

:06:24. > :06:29.Richard Cook N 1995, an RAF inquiry found no conclusive evidence to

:06:29. > :06:34.determine the cause of the crash, but a review by two marshals found

:06:34. > :06:41.the pilots goesly negligent for flying too fast and low in thick

:06:41. > :06:45.fog N 1996, it was left open the question of blame. In 2000, a

:06:45. > :06:50.public accounts Committee report said that the pilot error could not

:06:50. > :06:54.be proved beyond doubt. Last year, the current inquiry opened by Dr

:06:54. > :06:58.Liam Fox and he asked Lord Philip to conduct a review of the evidence.

:06:58. > :07:01.We had all expected that the verdict from the original board of

:07:01. > :07:08.inquiry that said that there was gross negligence was wrong, that it

:07:08. > :07:13.was probably immorale. That they had to find in some way a way of

:07:13. > :07:17.listening for that cupability, but it does not take away that the

:07:17. > :07:22.aircrew flew into a hill when they probably did not need to.

:07:22. > :07:26.An odd odd spokesperson said that an announce -- an Ministry of

:07:26. > :07:31.Defence spokesperson said that an announcement would be made shortly.

:07:31. > :07:34.Tens of thousands of people have attended a ceremony in South Sudan

:07:35. > :07:39.to mark its formal Declaration of Independence. The birth of the

:07:39. > :07:45.world's newest nation comes after two decades of Civil War that has

:07:45. > :07:50.cost the lives of some 2 million people. A peace deal paved the way

:07:50. > :07:55.for autonomy, but there are fears of a new conflict between the north

:07:55. > :07:59.and the south. From Juba, we have this report.

:07:59. > :08:02.The moment that the clucks -- clocks turned midnight, the party

:08:03. > :08:07.began. Euphoria on the streets of Juba.

:08:07. > :08:11.Then for the official ceremony to mark the birth of this new nation,

:08:11. > :08:17.they came in their tens of thousands.

:08:17. > :08:21.Every vantage point was taken. Even the old enemy was here. Relations

:08:21. > :08:25.are strained between the north and the south, but the President came

:08:25. > :08:30.with a message of peace. As the President of South Sudan was sworn

:08:30. > :08:34.in, he promised better days ahead for this troubled country.

:08:34. > :08:39.Promote the unity of the people of South Sudan.

:08:39. > :08:43.Today was all about celebrating the end of a long struggle for freedom.

:08:43. > :08:47.Well, this is the moment that so many people have been waiting for,

:08:47. > :08:54.the birth of a new nation. South Sudan has been waiting a long time

:08:54. > :08:58.for this. I feel so happy, really! There are

:08:58. > :09:02.so many people who are really very happy indeed.

:09:02. > :09:05.Dignitaries from around the world were here. They want the aid money

:09:05. > :09:11.spent well. It will be tough love, really, to

:09:11. > :09:15.use that expression. We are giving them a lot of help, support, advice

:09:15. > :09:19.and expertise, but also saying it must be a functioning state.

:09:19. > :09:29.This new nation faces great challenges, but today people here

:09:29. > :09:32.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in California and tonight they

:09:32. > :09:38.are attending a gala dinner with some of the biggest names in

:09:38. > :09:44.Hollywood, but it is not just about the glitz and the glamour, but a

:09:44. > :09:51.chance to promote some of Britain's brightest talents.

:09:51. > :09:54.Champagne in Tinseltown. After Canada, the Duke and the Duchess of

:09:54. > :09:58.Cambridge will be doubtless be a hit in Hollywood.

:09:58. > :10:02.Here was a chance to meet some of the Brits in Hollywood, but making

:10:02. > :10:07.it here is not always easy, especially in the entertainment

:10:07. > :10:11.industry, but it is something that the royal couple have helped to

:10:11. > :10:18.agree with -- have agreed to help with.

:10:18. > :10:23.The hottest ticket is here for this dinner to see the royal couple. On

:10:23. > :10:26.each of the tables are two spare seats for young, up and coming

:10:26. > :10:31.British talent, the chance of a life time to have the right word in

:10:31. > :10:38.the right ear. One of those with a golden ticket is Sabrina

:10:38. > :10:44.Doyle. A student director. Another is David Buckley.

:10:44. > :10:49.He is a TV and film composer. Obviously, to be with such a small

:10:49. > :10:55.amount of people and in such an impressive and distinguished event,

:10:55. > :11:00.it is very flattering and humbling. Presenter Cat Dealy is already

:11:00. > :11:04.becoming a household name here, she is introducing the young talent.

:11:04. > :11:09.To get them all in one room at one place and time is a great thing.

:11:09. > :11:17.Only good things come from that. If it takes the royal couple to get

:11:17. > :11:21.them together, so be it. So, William and Catherine go to

:11:21. > :11:27.Hollywood. It promises to be a high rolling affair as the couple help

:11:27. > :11:32.to sell Britain in Hollywood. To sport and Red Bull's Mark Webber

:11:32. > :11:36.is to start from poll position at tomorrow's British Grand Prix with

:11:36. > :11:39.Sebastian Vettel beside him. It will be a tough race for Britain's

:11:39. > :11:45.drivers with Jenson Button qualifying highest in fifth place

:11:45. > :11:51.and Mo Mowlam back in tenth. With its new buildings and

:11:51. > :11:55.thousands of expectant fans, the screen was set at Silverstone, but

:11:55. > :12:01.sadly, not for British success. Jenson Button and Mo Mowlam both

:12:01. > :12:08.struggled, they were fifth and tenth and worryingly off the pace.

:12:08. > :12:13.-- Mo Mowlam. -- Lewis Hamilton.

:12:13. > :12:17.Some drivers opted for the seenic route, but no-one could catch the

:12:18. > :12:20.Red Bulls. They shrugged off a technical row, to qualify first and

:12:20. > :12:24.second. Mark Webber edging out Sebastian

:12:24. > :12:29.Vettel. Another great day for the Red Bull
