: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
