:03:30. > :03:33.to the Prime Minister, I think the country will be expecting more of
:03:33. > :03:37.him this time. He is not engaging in the leadership that the country
:03:37. > :03:42.needs on this issue. He seems two steps behind public opinion, where

:04:17. > :04:22.have gone to get the commission they wanted to sell their papers?
:04:22. > :04:27.think we are all very, very surprised. The revelations of the
:04:27. > :04:31.past week have made this story so much bigger. We have talked about
:04:31. > :04:35.celebrities in the past and rich and powerful people, and now we are
:04:35. > :04:42.looking at every day people, people who were victims of crime, people
:04:42. > :04:48.killed in wars and their families. Victims of 7/7. The scale of this
:04:48. > :04:53.is horrifying. How far do you think a journalist should be allowed to
:04:53. > :04:56.go, because when we look at the issues of freedom and the right to
:04:56. > :04:59.privacy, if it came down to corporate espionage and a
:04:59. > :05:05.journalist was looking into that, you would need to go into phone
:05:05. > :05:10.records and dig deeper. Where do you draw the line? We have been
:05:10. > :05:15.having these conversations all week. Where is the line? The feeling is
:05:15. > :05:18.that sometimes, on very rare occasions, a journalist or
:05:18. > :05:23.journalistic organisation could possibly be entitled to do these
:05:23. > :05:27.things. So could possibly be entitled to break the law? Yes. If
:05:27. > :05:32.you have to prove that you have a very strong public interest. So I
:05:32. > :05:36.might have a very senior politician who might be involved in,
:05:36. > :05:43.hypothetically, arms dealings. If I feel I have to go that little bit
:05:43. > :05:48.further up to get my piece approved, then perhaps it is right for me to
:05:48. > :05:53.maybe try and get into his phone messages or go through his e-mails.
:05:53. > :05:58.And you can see there is a very strong public interest in
:05:58. > :06:02.uncovering corruption or espionage. The problem with what the News of
:06:02. > :06:08.the World appears to have been doing is that in none of these
:06:08. > :06:12.cases is there a public interest. There is no reason as to why you
:06:12. > :06:16.would listen to the phone messages of a murdered girl or those of
:06:16. > :06:20.families of 7/7 bombing victims. think most of the viewers would
:06:20. > :06:24.agree but the point of that when it comes to murder victims, missing
:06:24. > :06:27.girls, often, many of these newspapers are facing the challenge
:06:27. > :06:36.of meeting we diplomat demand when they won celebrity news, which
:06:36. > :06:42.again could be argued to not be in the public interest. -- meeting the
:06:42. > :06:45.readers' demand. But why would that be allowed? I don't think most
:06:45. > :06:50.people reading stories about celebrities would have been
:06:50. > :06:56.incredibly comfortable with the idea that such things are being
:06:56. > :07:00.done, listening to their phone messages, etc. We are never told,
:07:00. > :07:03.we got this information by listening to their phone messages.
:07:03. > :07:06.But it is one thing with celebrities but another thing
:07:06. > :07:14.entirely in most people's eyes when we are dealing with victims of
:07:14. > :07:17.crime. Thank you very much. We can take a look at some of the
:07:17. > :07:20.other stories making headlines around the world. In Malaysia,
:07:20. > :07:25.police have taken control of a kindergarten where around 30

:15:33. > :15:39.The Bank of England have kept rates on hold. They have risen by one

:15:47. > :15:54.which is Germany, Europe's largest economy and the powerhouse of
:15:54. > :15:58.Europe, as well as the economy is overheating, that is something they

:16:26. > :16:31.we be listening to from the head of BCB in this decision press
:16:31. > :16:35.conference in about 40 minutes' time? That would make life
:16:35. > :16:40.extremely difficult, and there is a lot of concern about that, but the
:16:40. > :16:45.ECB is fighting on two fronts. They are equally worried about Greece
:16:45. > :16:49.and the fact they are sitting on 20 % of their loans. There have been a
:16:49. > :16:53.line -- there has been a line drawn in the sand, so it is a big issue.
:16:53. > :16:58.But the problem is more about solvency than the rates the Bank
:16:58. > :17:04.charge. It is all in the mix. It makes for difficult decisions for

:17:20. > :17:24.which is monitoring price developments. If he uses that,
:17:24. > :17:30.people think he may put the rates up again. But circumstances in

:17:35. > :17:40.wording. Many expect we might see another rise in rates but maybe not

:17:44. > :17:49.work that they were like in the decision. The European markets are
