:00:00. > :00:21.have all the latest from the world cop. `` World Cup.

:00:22. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

:00:25. > :00:28.With me is Paul Johnson, Deputy Editor of the Guardian

:00:29. > :00:31.and Neil Midgley, Media Commentator at Forbes.com.

:00:32. > :00:35.Phone hacking is the main story in the Financial Times, which shows

:00:36. > :00:38.Andy Coulson, the former News of the World editor, who's been found

:00:39. > :00:41.And the Telegraph shows Andy Coulson's predecessor,

:00:42. > :00:43.Rebekah Brooks, leaving the Old Bailey with her husband,

:00:44. > :00:48.Charlie. They were both acquitted of charges relating to phone hacking.

:00:49. > :00:53.Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks are both pictured

:00:54. > :00:58.The Guardian front page is also devoted to the phone hacking trial.

:00:59. > :01:00.And The Times devotes its front page to the not guilty

:01:01. > :01:23.The Sun does the same. Let's begin. We are going to start with the

:01:24. > :01:31.Guardian. It calls Andy Coulson eight criminal. This is an

:01:32. > :01:50.extraordinary story. There is a lot more to come. The front pages are

:01:51. > :02:00.really diverted. `` very divergent. We have had eight John boasts chart.

:02:01. > :02:08.Six have pleaded guilty. This is extraordinarily. 12 more trials are

:02:09. > :02:18.scheduled. One or two of the People's seem to be thinking that

:02:19. > :02:25.this is he. But it is not. `` the papers. We have a lot of stories

:02:26. > :02:34.Europe, saying that report murder is to be questioned. He is to be

:02:35. > :02:41.questioned under caution. If we think that is the end of it we are

:02:42. > :02:53.completely mistaken. The Guardian has been running with the story. The

:02:54. > :03:00.suggestion that Andy Coulson, the criminal who had David Tanner and's

:03:01. > :03:05.confidence, there were no questions of him being went to the hacking at

:03:06. > :03:16.the time. What was the problem back then? It is the way that the

:03:17. > :03:21.politicians have reacted to this today. The Guardian is showing

:03:22. > :03:31.admirable restraint. It is not being triumphant. It has been the story

:03:32. > :03:40.all along. Ed Miliband is saying that David Cameron's government is

:03:41. > :03:47.tainted. He employed Andy Coulson. That was in 2007. David Cameron was

:03:48. > :04:03.in opposition. Andy Coulson was a criminal. The police, it was the

:04:04. > :04:10.job, not David Cameron's. They is the question of what that David

:04:11. > :04:19.Cameron now. What should he have asked. But I do not think there is

:04:20. > :04:27.any suggestion that anybody has any evidence... Any more than he was a

:04:28. > :04:36.former editor of the News of the world. He was the one bad apple. It

:04:37. > :04:45.was the crime from News International. Most politicians were

:04:46. > :04:55.silent about this. The one bad apple defence ran for some time. We know

:04:56. > :05:04.that there were the few bad apples. But as the Times points out, Rebekah

:05:05. > :05:14.Brooks is not guilty. So was in the shop for cooking up this conspiracy?

:05:15. > :05:22.Senior management had no idea. It is very interesting the week that the

:05:23. > :05:25.newspapers are covering this. The Guardian is talking about Andy

:05:26. > :05:32.Coulson being guilty, but The Times is talking about Rebekah Brooks

:05:33. > :05:41.being not guilty. This is being presented as effectively for the

:05:42. > :05:46.Rupert Murdoch empire. You will remember when Rupert Murdoch came to

:05:47. > :05:55.London, he was asked about his priority. He says this one, pointing

:05:56. > :06:10.at Rebekah Brooks. She was a confidant of the Empire. She has

:06:11. > :06:16.been cleaned up. `` cleared. It was even said that there might be

:06:17. > :06:26.prosecutions in the United States. News International, is it going to

:06:27. > :06:32.happen? We are not sure about this. Your reporters today have been

:06:33. > :06:41.saying that the media corporate charters. Imagine if this was the

:06:42. > :06:49.bank. If criminality cannot be proven at a certain level, there is

:06:50. > :06:58.an attitude at the top for teaching responsibility. Look at what we have

:06:59. > :07:07.seen at the BBC. It is not just if you people being found guilty, what

:07:08. > :07:14.we have here... A court has found that Rebekah Brooks did not know.

:07:15. > :07:24.But in terms of corporate responsibility it may be different.

:07:25. > :07:28.The legal test that I read this was not the controlling mind of the

:07:29. > :07:43.corporation, don't they know what was going on? Report Murdoch, James

:07:44. > :07:53.Murdoch, what the new? `` Rupert Murdoch. The Daily Telegraph, is the

:07:54. > :08:04.suggestion that this figure is thought it was the mode of nonsense?

:08:05. > :08:10.That could be the case. One or two of the newspapers appear to be

:08:11. > :08:16.calling it into question. But if the police have phoned criminality than

:08:17. > :08:39.it needs to be posted. `` prostitute. `` pursued. Andy Coulson

:08:40. > :08:50.is in the story here. Of course, all this, it brings into question the

:08:51. > :09:01.regulation of the press and we also know that thousands of victims have

:09:02. > :09:07.your phone 's hacked. One extra that I spoke to says it calls into

:09:08. > :09:14.question the Leveson Inquiry. The Julie seems to have agreed that it

:09:15. > :09:24.was the number of bad apples. `` jury. The Leveson Inquiry, was it a

:09:25. > :09:30.waste of space? I would not go that far. Part of the motivation was to

:09:31. > :09:45.say that the press should have been regulated. The field to our nails

:09:46. > :09:57.this. `` They failed to unearth this. An eight`month trial? The

:09:58. > :10:16.biggest statutory regulator of all is the police. The field. `` They

:10:17. > :10:19.failed. But the PCC dead as well. They had to rely on them being a

:10:20. > :10:33.complaint by somebody mentioned the story. That is going to be a new

:10:34. > :10:36.system of press regulation. The victims of the hacking will say it

:10:37. > :10:45.is not legally change from the old system. They are not playing with

:10:46. > :10:55.the statutorily underpinning. But things have changed. The new body

:10:56. > :11:08.for publications that sign up, the Daily Telegraph already committed,

:11:09. > :11:20.though will be proactive Poles. `` powers. Has the Guardian signed up?

:11:21. > :11:26.No, but the only reason to sign up would be if it was convinced that it

:11:27. > :11:33.had credibility to the public. What about the people who think it should

:11:34. > :11:39.be independent of the editors? If it is not God credibility, it is seen

:11:40. > :11:49.as independent, I do not know what the future is. We will reserve

:11:50. > :11:59.position on that. We also have a self`regulatory system within our

:12:00. > :12:08.own organisation. We are going to move on. The hacking story is on the

:12:09. > :12:16.front of every newspaper. Inside page of the Financial Times. We have

:12:17. > :12:33.discussed this. Has this damaged David Cameron in a more long`term

:12:34. > :12:37.we? `` long term way? I doubt it. I think the public queue about this

:12:38. > :12:43.when the Milly Dowler revelation came out but I am not so sure that

:12:44. > :12:46.they do any more. They have probably formed the opinion of David Cameron

:12:47. > :12:53.and his relationship with Andy Coulson before this verdict. When

:12:54. > :13:00.you have got the general election in less than a year, the question about

:13:01. > :13:05.somebody's judgement in hiding a spin doctor seven`year cycle is

:13:06. > :13:17.probably not going to be top of the list. Ed Miliband said, they went

:13:18. > :13:30.after News International. Is this a good day for him? I do not know.

:13:31. > :13:38.Though will be more questions about this, for the Cabinet Secretary as

:13:39. > :13:49.well as David Cameron. The vetting procedure just seemed to be a Nord.

:13:50. > :13:56.`` nod. In the future I think they will be very careful about what they

:13:57. > :14:08.want from the spin doctors. More thought on that in the future. It

:14:09. > :14:09.has been good having you here. All of the fallout from the hacking

:14:10. > :14:30.trial. It is time for the sport. Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm

:14:31. > :14:34.Thomas Niblock. Good evening. England are on the way home from the

:14:35. > :14:37.World Cup after a scoreless draw with Costa Rica, but the big talking

:14:38. > :14:41.point from Brazil surrounds Liverpool?s Luis Suarez. Italy

:14:42. > :14:46.defender Georgio Chiellini has claimed he was bitten by Suarez as

:14:47. > :14:51.both Uruguay and Italy played for a
