:01:42. > :01:46.News at One. Rupert Murdoch has told the Leveson Inquiry that he
:01:46. > :01:49.failed to stop what he called a cover-up at the News of the World.
:01:50. > :01:52.He said he had not paid enough attention to what was going on at
:01:52. > :01:55.the newspaper. He apologised to News of the World staff who lost
:01:55. > :02:01.their jobs when the newspaper closed because of the hacking
:02:01. > :02:08.scandal. Day two of Rupert Murdoch's
:02:08. > :02:13.evidence and a rare sight in public - the media mo gull contrite and at
:02:13. > :02:17.one point angry. The discussion - the phone hacking scandal which has
:02:17. > :02:24.done him so much damage. He said things had happened at the News of
:02:24. > :02:32.the World which had shocked him. There was no question in my mind
:02:32. > :02:39.that maybe even the editor, but certainly beyond that, someone took
:02:39. > :02:47.charge of a cover-up. Which we were victim to and I regret. Where did
:02:47. > :02:51.this cover-up emanate, Mr Murdoch? I think from within the News of the
:02:51. > :02:55.World. Counsel suggested Mr Murdoch himself had been too passive in his
:02:55. > :03:01.efforts to discover what had been happening at the paper. Some might
:03:01. > :03:06.say that all this picture is consistent with one of a desire to
:03:06. > :03:16.cover-up, rather than to expose. Would you agree with that? With
:03:16. > :03:16.
:03:16. > :03:20.minds like yours, perhaps. I am sorry, I take that back. After that
:03:20. > :03:26.flash of anger, Mr Murdoch became contrite. I also have to say that I
:03:26. > :03:30.failed. All I can do is apologise to a lot
:03:30. > :03:34.of people, including all of the innocent people in the News of the
:03:34. > :03:39.World who have lost their jobs. Rupert Murdoch said he wished he
:03:39. > :03:44.had questioned Clive Goodman, the one journalist convicted of phone
:03:44. > :03:52.hacking and who, when he came out of prison, claimed others had been
:03:52. > :03:58.involved. I should have thrown them all 0 of the plaigs and seen Mr
:03:58. > :04:06.Goodman one or one. He had been an employee for a long time and cross-
:04:06. > :04:10.examined him myself and made up my mind, maybe rightly, maybe wrongly
:04:10. > :04:14.- was he telling the truth? If I came to the conclusion he was
:04:14. > :04:19.telling the truth I would have torn the place a part and we would not
:04:19. > :04:24.be here tonight. Mr Murdoch denied News International had a cavalier
:04:24. > :04:28.attitude to taking risking. He said they made mistakes and the process
:04:28. > :04:33.of cleaning up the mess caused great pain, but he was glad they
:04:33. > :04:35.had done it. Let's go to Westminster now and to
:04:35. > :04:38.our political correspondent. At the beginning of the session this
:04:38. > :04:41.morning, there were questions about this issue of the number of
:04:42. > :04:46.meetings that the Prime Minister has had with Rupert Murdoch. How
:04:46. > :04:49.much pressure is the Prime Minister under? Sophie, my sense is that
:04:49. > :04:55.Downing Street are desperate for the Prime Minister not to become
:04:55. > :04:59.the focus of the political and media cry over the Leveson-Murdoch
:04:59. > :05:04.saga, which is why they have adamantly disputed the idea that Mr
:05:04. > :05:08.Cameron may have had up to eight separate meetings with Mr Murdoch
:05:08. > :05:11.since he has become Prime Minister. They insist there are only two
:05:11. > :05:15.meetings, another occasion when Mr Murdoch was in the audience when
:05:15. > :05:20.the Prime Minister was giving a speech. Another when they may have
:05:20. > :05:24.bumped into each other at a social event. The reason they want to
:05:24. > :05:28.quash that idea is, one, to sheld the Prime Minister from this
:05:28. > :05:32.controversy. Two, to quash the idea that Mr Murdoch may have easy
:05:33. > :05:42.access to the Prime Minister or Mr Cameron may be at the bebg and call
:05:42. > :05:49.of the Murdoch empire and three, there is the sense we're not all in
:05:49. > :05:53.this together. It is striking, if you go back a short time how long
:05:54. > :06:03.ago politicians would have crawled over hotbeds to have dinner with Mr
:06:03. > :06:08.Murdoch, now they will not dare be seen with him. Is there pressure on
:06:08. > :06:12.him? His top civil servant today was asked if he could back Mr
:06:12. > :06:17.Hunt's assertion that he authorised his special adviser, the man who
:06:17. > :06:21.has resigned, to be the go-between the Department of Culture and
:06:21. > :06:26.Murdoch empire. Five times the top civil servant was asked to confirm
:06:26. > :06:30.that. Five times the top civil servant stone-walled and did not
:06:30. > :06:35.back Jeremy Hunt. Thank you. Scotland's First Minister, Alex
:06:35. > :06:42.Salmond, has come in for fierce criticism by some SNPs over his
:06:42. > :06:49.relationship with the Murdoch media empire. The Scottish Labour leader
:06:49. > :06:56.said some people might describe Mr Salmond as devious and double-
:06:56. > :06:59.dealing over his support for the empire's bid to control BSkyB. Our
:06:59. > :07:08.Scotland correspondent is at Holyrood in Edinburgh now. Tell us
:07:08. > :07:13.more about what he said. Well, what we heard was an affair dominated by
:07:13. > :07:17.the bulky shadows of two big business men, Donald Trump and
:07:17. > :07:22.Rupert Murdoch. In terms of Rupert Murdoch, Alex Salmond is accused of
:07:22. > :07:27.offering to lob bithe UK Government on behalf of Rupert Murdoch's
:07:27. > :07:31.corporation, essentially in return for favourable press coverage to
:07:32. > :07:41.help advance the proposed takeover of BSkyB, which ultimately did not
:07:42. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:46.happen. That accusation was put to him. Some say he has been devious,
:07:46. > :07:55.double-dealing. Isn't he just trying to cover-up the fact that a
:07:55. > :07:59.rich man has played him for a fool again? Humbug hypocrisy. The job of
:07:59. > :08:05.a First Minister is to advocate jobs for Scotland. This First
:08:05. > :08:12.Minister will continue to do it. Well, as for Donald Trump,
:08:12. > :08:17.yesterday Alex Salmond was accused by the US tycoon who was here of
:08:17. > :08:22.luring him in to invest in Scotland. He said he gave him assurances that
:08:22. > :08:25.a wind farm offshore near his golf development near Aberdeenshire
:08:25. > :08:28.would not be built. Again Alex Salmond denied giving those
:08:28. > :08:31.assurances. The decision is expected later this year. For the
:08:31. > :08:34.moment, the pressure on Alex Salmond, because of his
:08:34. > :08:38.relationships with both these men pretty much continuing.
:08:38. > :08:43.Thank you. The former President of Liberia, Charles Taylor, has been
:08:43. > :08:53.found guilty of aiding and abetding war crimes. He was accused of --
:08:53. > :08:58.
:08:58. > :09:04.abetting war crimes. He was accused The prosecutor verses Charles
:09:04. > :09:08.Taylor. It has been a day of immense symbolic significance in
:09:08. > :09:11.the evolution of international justice. Charles Taylor is the
:09:11. > :09:14.first international head of state to face the judgment of an
:09:14. > :09:17.international court. The case has lasted four years. Hundreds of
:09:17. > :09:23.witnesses for both the prosecution and the defence have been brought
:09:23. > :09:28.to The Hague to testify. In a two- hour written verdict, the presiding
:09:28. > :09:32.judge said Charles Taylor faced 11 counts, five of which constituted
:09:32. > :09:38.crimes against humanity. These included murder, rape, sexual
:09:38. > :09:43.slavery and enslavement. The prosecution had asked that
:09:43. > :09:46.Taylor had command responsibility for these crimes and he planned the
:09:46. > :09:50.joint enterprise with rebel commanders. The judges ruled that
:09:50. > :09:53.on both these charges Charles Taylor could not be held criminally
:09:53. > :09:56.responsible because he did not have control of the fighters on the
:09:56. > :10:01.ground. There is insufficient evidence to find beyond a
:10:01. > :10:06.reasonable doubt that they remained under the effective control and
:10:06. > :10:12.demand of the accused once in Sierra Leone. The judge said
:10:12. > :10:16.Charles Taylor had instructed rebel forces to seize and hold the
:10:16. > :10:22.diamond-rich region, that Taylor received supplies of diamonds in
:10:22. > :10:27.return for supplying shipments of ammunition. He asked him to stand,
:10:27. > :10:31.before saying that the accused was criminally responsible for aiding
:10:31. > :10:37.and abetting crimes against humanity, through encouragement and
:10:37. > :10:40.moral and practical support for those committing crimes.
:10:40. > :10:45.Having considered all the evidence and the arguments of the parties,
:10:45. > :10:55.the statute and the rules, and based upon the findings as
:10:55. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :10:59.determined by the trial chamber, we find you guilty.... Charles Taylor
:11:00. > :11:03.listened throughout. He has always denied the accusations against him,
:11:03. > :11:07.arguing throughout his years he tried to bring peace to Sierra
:11:07. > :11:11.Leone. The court will reconvene in two weeks when Charles Taylor will
:11:11. > :11:17.have half an hour to address the judges. Sentence will be passed two
:11:17. > :11:22.weeks after that, on May 30th. We can join our correspondent now.
:11:22. > :11:25.This day has been long awaited. What was it like in court? Well, I
:11:25. > :11:32.have been coming to The Hague now to sit in various international
:11:32. > :11:36.courts for several years and I have never known a courthouse so gripped
:11:36. > :11:41.by anticipation as the courthouse was this morning. This is a very
:11:41. > :11:45.big day for international justice. It's a landmark. It's the first
:11:45. > :11:50.time a sitting head of state, or previous head of state has faced
:11:50. > :11:56.the court. He tried to argue as of head of state he had immunity. The
:11:56. > :12:02.court dealt with that and said, no immunty did not apply. In a --
:12:02. > :12:05.immunity did not apply. In a sense the court are sending out a message
:12:05. > :12:09.to every dictator in the world that they can no longer think of
:12:09. > :12:13.themselves as immune for crimes they might commit against their own
:12:13. > :12:18.people. That is the symbolism of today's judgment.

:22:33. > :22:38.everywhere from offices to village halls. This year, more will be
:22:38. > :22:42.needed with the help of new donors like Mark giving up his time.
:22:42. > :22:46.grandma has donated 60 times, my mum has donated 30 times. They are
:22:46. > :22:51.the ones who got me into it. I thought, if they can do it, why
:22:51. > :22:56.can't I? This is where they end up, special plants where the different
:22:56. > :23:00.parts of blood are separated. White blood cells are filtered out first
:23:00. > :23:04.to allow red blood cells and plasma to be processed. This summer, the
:23:04. > :23:09.blood service faces special pressures during big sporting
:23:09. > :23:14.events and there are plenty this year. Donation levels fall at the
:23:14. > :23:18.same time demand is higher. expectation is we will have 1.2
:23:19. > :23:23.extra -- 1.2 million extra visitors coming into the country. We need to
:23:24. > :23:28.make sure we are well prepared to handle any contingency. Each day,
:23:28. > :23:32.3,000 units of blood are processed in just this plant. In the run-up
:23:32. > :23:39.to the Olympics, that needs to increase. By the time the Games
:23:39. > :23:44.start, stocks need to be 30 % higher than usual. Lucia, who is 11
:23:44. > :23:49.years old, cannot make heroin red blood cells. Without them, she will
:23:49. > :23:53.die. While the NHS prepares for extra demands, it also has to make
:23:53. > :23:57.sure there is enough for patients like Lucia. Since I was two, I have
:23:57. > :24:02.had to come once a month and have two packs of red blood and it
:24:02. > :24:06.normally takes three hours. That is why, to fill donation sessions like
:24:06. > :24:10.this one and early summer, the NHS blood service is gearing up for one
:24:10. > :24:14.of its Evert -- biggest ever appeals.
:24:14. > :24:20.There is still no evidence that mobile phones harm human health,
:24:20. > :24:25.according to a major safety review. Health Protection Agency reviewed
:24:25. > :24:28.hundreds of studies on the dangers posed by a mobile phones and other
:24:28. > :24:32.wireless devices. They found no convincing evidence that they cause
:24:32. > :24:35.brain tumours or other cancers but the HPA said children should still

:24:53. > :24:57.Two people have died in a collision on the M1 near Bedfordshire. The
:24:57. > :25:02.accident happened two weeks after a lorry driver was killed on the same

:25:27. > :25:31.It could be the shopping channel but this is an online store for
:25:31. > :25:36.criminals and what they are selling is the details of millions of
:25:36. > :25:40.unsuspecting credit card users. Now in raids in Britain, the US,
:25:40. > :25:47.Australia and elsewhere in Europe, dozens of these websites have been
:25:47. > :25:50.taken down. Now, all users will see is this warning from the FBI. Some
:25:50. > :25:57.of the websites have been under observation for two years and in
:25:57. > :26:02.that time, the details of 2.5 million credit cards were recovered,
:26:02. > :26:06.preventing fraud of at least half a billion pounds. Detectives think
:26:06. > :26:11.the credit card details of millions of us are floating around on line.
:26:11. > :26:15.The first we know of it is when a fraud is committed. Usually it is
:26:15. > :26:18.individuals or the credit card industry who have to pick up the
:26:18. > :26:23.tab for fraud which is now taking place, say police, on an industrial
:26:23. > :26:27.scale. There are so much data that is available across the world but
:26:27. > :26:33.they cannot do this one to one selling any more. They have created
:26:33. > :26:37.this system of automatic vending cards in order to enable people to
:26:37. > :26:42.visit the site and take as much data as they want and pay for it
:26:42. > :26:46.automatically. Three people are now in custody and other arrests are
:26:46. > :26:50.likely. The police admit that despite closing these websites, the
:26:50. > :26:55.battle with criminals in cyberspace is becoming a virtual arms race in
:26:55. > :26:59.which they are struggling to keep They have been reports of a number
:26:59. > :27:05.of tornadoes hitting parts of the UK during yesterday's storms. One
:27:05. > :27:09.is thought to have hit Rugby last night. Residents described it as a
:27:09. > :27:19.mini tornado. Essex was also affected. This picture was taken at
:27:19. > :27:25.a farm in Whiteash Green. Luckily, We have had some very unsettled
:27:25. > :27:31.weather. We also had reports of a tornado of the coast of South Wales.
:27:31. > :27:36.It is something to watch. We had this beautiful picture cent in from
:27:36. > :27:41.Margate. Shower clouds developing off the coast there. There are
:27:41. > :27:49.further showers in today's forecast, all spiralling around AD area of
:27:49. > :27:54.low pressure. Abound of heavy rain hitting northern areas of England.
:27:54. > :27:58.In Cumbria they have had 29 mm of rain already today, compared to
:27:58. > :28:03.what we should have for the whole of April, that is a third in just
:28:03. > :28:07.one day. More wet weather in the forecast for the rest of today.
:28:07. > :28:13.Gusty winds to be had across Northern Ireland and into north-
:28:13. > :28:18.west Scotland as well. Interspersed with sunny spells and scattered
:28:18. > :28:23.showers. Gusty winds to 30 or 40 mph. The persistent rain continues
:28:23. > :28:28.to fall -- feeding across northern Scotland and England. Weather front
:28:28. > :28:34.brings rain across northern England, particularly Lancashire and into
:28:34. > :28:39.north-west Wales. With the crowd and persistent rain, cool afternoon
:28:39. > :28:44.for some. Then to the south of our band of rain, it is sunshine and
:28:44. > :28:49.showers. South-west England, then West Midlands in particular, the
:28:49. > :28:53.difference with yesterday is with lighter winds they will be slower
:28:53. > :28:57.moving. Hail and thunder again unlikely. A lot of spray on the
:28:57. > :29:02.roads. The South-East having a breezy end but a bright end to the
:29:03. > :29:07.day. Overnight tonight, the showers will tend to ease off. The South
:29:07. > :29:11.sticks with a band of rain but cloudy and mild. In the North it
:29:11. > :29:15.turns colder with a touch of frost first thing tomorrow. A bright
:29:15. > :29:20.start for Scotland and Northern Ireland tomorrow. The northerly
:29:20. > :29:26.wind feeds in colder air. Sunny spells and showers, some falling as
:29:26. > :29:30.snow across high ground. In the south, further heavy showers. As we
:29:30. > :29:34.look ahead to the weekend, high pressure is trying its hardest to
:29:34. > :29:37.build but it looks like the low- pressure area will win out. What
:29:37. > :29:43.that does is bring more rain and more wet weather as we head into
:29:43. > :29:47.the weekend. Perhaps not starting off too badly, Saturday's sunny
:29:47. > :29:54.spells and scattered showers. By Sunday it turns cloudy, wet and
:29:55. > :30:00.windy for many of us. Umbrella as at the ready. Any sign of sunshine?
:30:00. > :30:04.Not this week! A reminder of our top story: Rupert
:30:04. > :30:08.Murdoch says there was a cover-up at the News of the World but
:30:08. > :30:12.insists it was kept hidden from him. He tells the Leveson Inquiry that
:30:12. > :30:15.he blames one or two people for failing to tell them about the
:30:15. > :30:18.extent of phone hacking and says he was guilty for not paying enough
