The Prime Minister promises a public inquiry into the phone | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
hacking scandal now engulfing the News of the World. Relatives of | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
those who died in London's July 7th bombings emerge as the latest | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
victims whose phones may have been hacked. | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
It's a violation, isn't it? I still don't know what I think about it. | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
Other than I am really angry. Rupert Murdoch breaks his silence, | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
calling the allegations deplorable and unacceptable. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Andy Coulson is back in the spotlight amid claims he authorised | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
payments to police when he was News of the World editor, prompting | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
questions about the Prime Minister's judgment. | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
He's got to accept that he made a catastrophic error of judgment by | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
bringing Andy Coulson into the heart of his Downing Street machine. | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
I take full responsibility for everyone I employ, for everyone I | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
appoint and I take responsibility for everything my Government does. | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
What this Government is doing is making sure that - and I feel so | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
appalled by what has happened, murder victims, terrorist victims | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
who have had their phones hacked is quite disgraceful. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
And the price of phone hacking as public anger grows, more big | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
companies likes Halifax and Virgin Holidays abandon plans to advertise | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
in the paper. Also tonight: Another surge in the cost of food pushes up | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
prices in the shops at the fastest rate for more than two and a half | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
years. A small ray of hope in a difficult | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
jobs market as the private sector has created more than half a | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
million jobs in the last year. And the orphans of Somalia, the | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
children who have travelled miles to find food. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
I will be here later on the BBC News channel with Sportsday, | :01:56. | :02:00. | |

one-day series alive against Sri Good evening, welcome to the BBC | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
News at Six. The Prime Minister has promised a public inquiry into the | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
phone hacking scandal engulfing the News of the World, though he says | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
it won't begin the police investigation is complete. Tonight, | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
as it emerge that had relatives of victims of the London bombings may | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
also have had their phones hacked into, Rupert Murdoch, the chairman | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
of News Corporation, said the allegations against his newspaper | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
were deplorable and unacceptable Nick Robinson reports on the latest | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
developments. Yes, there was worse to come, | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
joining the list of those warned that their phones may have been | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
hacked on behalf of the News of the World, the families of those whose | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
loved ones were blown apart on 7/7. My mind went back to 2005 and the | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
real emotional turmoil and state that we were in and that somebody | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
was listening to that, it's a violation, isn't it? I still don't | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
know what I think about it, other than I am alangry. Also on the list | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
of possible targets the parents of Holly and Jessica, who died at | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Soham and of course, Milly Dowler, whose parents were given false hope | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
that she was still alive when her voice messages were deleted after | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
her phone was allegedly hacked by a private investigator. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Last night, the Prime Minister returned from Afghanistan to learn | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
of the brewing storm. This morning, he worked out his answer for the | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
question he knew would be coming. Given the gravity of what has | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
occurred will the Prime Minister support the calls for a full | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
independent public inquiry to take place as soon as practical into the | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
culture and practices of British newspapers? | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
Let me be very clear, yes, we do need to have an inquiry, possibly | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
inquiries, into what has happened. Let us be clear, we are no longer | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
talking here about politicians and celebrities, we are talking about | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
murder victims, potentially terrorist victims, having their | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
phones hacked into. It's absolutely disgusting. What happened in the | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
newsroom of the News of the World is already being investigated by 50 | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
police officers. Now there are to be inquiries into why the police | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
took so long to take this seriously and the much wider question of what | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
is wrong with the British media. Rupert Murdoch's competitors have | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
been complaining about him for years, but no politician with a | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
prospect of power dared to do it. After all, he didn't just control | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
the News of the World, but The Sun, The Times and the Sunday Times, but | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
today felt like a day when all that might be about to change. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
At the helm of Rupert Murdoch's empire is Rebekah Brooks, editor of | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
the News of the World at the time of the alleged hacking of Milly | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Dowler and the so ham families. Today, company executives say they | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
knew who had sanctioned that. There were even suggestions that she was | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
away at the time. Her successor as editor was Andy Coulson, who went | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
on to David Cameron's director of communications. Last night News | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
International said that e-mails it had given to the police allegedly | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
showed that he sanctioned tens of thousands of pounds of payments to | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
police officers. At Question Time the Labour leader called on the | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Prime Minister to join him in calling for Brooks to quit. David | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
Cameron refused. Next he was asked about his former righthand man. | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
the public is to have confidence in him, he's got to accept that he | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
made a catastrophic error of judgment by bringing Andy Coulson | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
into the heart of his Downing Street machine. I take full | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
responsibility for everyone I employ, for everyone I appoint and | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
I take responsibility for everything my Government does. What | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
this Government is doing is making sure that the fact the public and I | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
feel so appalled by what has has happened, murder victims, terrorist | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
victims who have had their phones hacked is quite disgraceful, that's | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
why it's important there is a full police investigation with all the | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
powers that they need. This all began with the imprisonment four | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
years ago of the News of the World Royal editor, Clive Goodman, | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
imprisoned too, this man, the private investigator Glenn Mulcaire. | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
I made a statement yesterday and due to legal constraints, | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
unfortunately, at this stage I can make no more comment at the moment. | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
It is his notes of private phone numbers that have fuelled this saga, | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
that and the mounting anger of MPs who allege that the police simply | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
did not want to investigate what he had done. I think a lot of lies | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
have been told to a lot of people and when police officers tell lies | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
or at least half truths to Ministers of the Crown and then | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
parliament ends up being misled, I think that is a major | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
constitutional issue for us to face. Tonight, Rupert Murdoch issued a | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
statement describing what had happened as deplorable and | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
unacceptable, stating that our company must fully and proactively | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
co-operate with the police before adding, that would happen under | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Rebekah Brooks' leadership. Murdoch's enemies have long claimed | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
that whoever is in power he is the real puppet master. Tonight, he, | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
they, no one knows how this extraordinary drama will end. | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
As the scandal grows, so too does the number of allegations. Tonight, | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
the Prime Minister's former communications director, Andy | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
Coulson, is back in the spotlight. It's alleged that during his time | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
as editor of the News of the World he authorised large payments to | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
police in return for information. Our home affairs correspondent Tom | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Symonds reports on the police and the newspaper. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
In a tabloid newsroom police contacts are gold dust but now the | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
relationship between Britain's biggest newspaper and Britain's | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
largest police force are under intense scrutiny. Last month, the | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
paper's owners handed over documents suggesting money was paid | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
:08:32. | :08:41. | ||
by journalists for information. Did it happen? The question's been | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
asked before. The one element of whether you paid police for | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
information? We have paid the police for information in the past. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Former editor Rebekah Brooks, followed by a caveat from her | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
successor. We operate within the code and the law and if there is a | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
clear public interest, the same holds for private detectives, for | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
whatever you want to talk about. It's illegal for police officers... | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
As I said, within the law. December, Andy Coulson faced the | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
same question in court, at a trial involving a member of the Scottish | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
:09:22. | :09:26. | ||
Is it possible for journalists to pay police and stay within the law? | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
It's been illegal certainly since the law was passed by parliament in | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
1901, it's corrupt. It's bribery. The Met, which has already searched | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
journalists homes over phone hacking, now has a new inquiry into | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
these allegations. The latest documents handed to police appear | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
to show Andy Coulson authorised payments, but for what? | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
Journalists meet police officers all the time, quite legitimately. | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
Often in cafes and bars around Scotland Yard. One well placed | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
source has told us that efforts began about ten years ago to | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
investigate the more serious leaking of information for money. | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
But there was little ap appetite to go after the newspapers, there was | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
some opposition within the police and few convictions. This former | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
officer believes for a few there has always been a temptation for | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
corrupt relationships. Perhaps a crime reporter might want | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
information about a suspect, about a victim, about a significant | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
witness, information that the detective would only have but it | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
might have some some commercial worth when he sells it to a | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
reporter. At Scotland Yard yard the number of officers working on this | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
affair has reached 50, their inquiry inquiry currently has no | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
obvious end. So what impact will the phone | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
hacking scandal have on News News Corporation? Today, several more | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
big companies, including the Halifax, Virgin Holidays and | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Butlins decided not to place adverts in the News of the World | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
this weekend in response to public anger. Robert Peston assesses the | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
impact on Rupert Murdoch's business. This report contains some flash | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
photography. Vauxhall, Ford, and other big | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
companies with with with with big brands, they've said they don't | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
want to advertise in the News of the World this weekend. Because | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
they don't want to be associated with the shocking revelations about | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
how the newspaper obtained stories. For News International, owner of | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
the News of the World, a reputational crisis looks like it | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
could become a financial problem. This is a crisis for News of the | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
World. Advertisers are at this very moment deciding whether they're | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
going to appear in the News of the World this Sunday. I don't think | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
all will pull out, but if it's not effectively dealt with this weekend, | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
I think it could grow. But surely this is a small problem for Rupert | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation, which in turn owns | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
News International? After all, with global revenues of his empire are | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
more than �20 billion. The worry for him is containian from what he | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
described as the deplorable alleged wrongdoing to his other operations | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
and big ambitions, including a planned takeover of British Sky | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
broadcasting. The public will not accept the idea that with this | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
scandal engulfing the News of the World and News International that | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
the Government should in the coming days, in the coming days, be making | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
a decision outside of the normal processes for them to take control | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
of one of the biggest media organisations in the country. | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation wants to buy the 61% of British Sky | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
broadcasting it doesn't already known. My sources tell me that B | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
Sky B's board had taken the view that news corporation would have to | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
pay around �9.6 billion for these shares. | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
The regulator has a duty to be satisfied that the holder of the | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
licence is fit and proper, there's a risk that the takeover could be | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
blocked or unScram pwepled. So, B Sky B's directors may insist that | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
News Corporation pay even more to compensate for the risk that the | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
deal may never happen. It provides an incentive for Mr | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
Murdoch and News Corporation to delay the takeover pending greater | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
clarity on whether they'll be seen by the regulator as suitable owners | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
of Sky in the light of what ever further shocking disclosures are | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
made about how the News of the World obtained its stories. | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
Robert is here now. The revelations keep on coming and you are left | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
wondering how much worse this could get. Well, as you say, we have had | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
the most astonishing disclosures, shocking some people would say, but | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
interestingly, talking to News International executives, they | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
expect worse to come. That's for two reasons, one is because their | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
investigations have revealed to them that the newsroom of the News | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
of the World, between 2003 and 2006, was in their words, totally out of | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
control, that there was a culture at the top of that organisation | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
that basically anything goes when it came to landing the big story. | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
Now, News International's executives say they have no control | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
over what now comes out because much of the evidence is in the | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
possession of the police. It is these files they object obtained | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
from the offices of Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator hired by | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
the News of the World, they've been sitting on these files since 2006, | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
only now it appears the police are going through all those pages and | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
informing the alleged victims of the News of the World's behaviour | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
and guess what, when the victims get told the news it normally gets | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
communicated to the rest of us and for News International that news | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
has been shocking and may well turn out to be even more shocking. | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
David Cameron has given more details about the withdrawal of | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
British troops to Afghanistan, following a two-day visit to Kabul | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
and Helmand earlier this week. He says 500 British troops will | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
finished their combat role by the end a 2012, reducing numbers to | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
9000. Eight former police officers have | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
gone on trial accused of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice in | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
the investigation into the murder of prostitute Lynette White, 20, | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
found stabbed to death in Cardiff in 1988. Three men were wrongly | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
convicted of the murder before later being freed. The accused or | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
deny the charges. There has been more evidence of the | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
big squeeze on household budgets today as the latest figures showed | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
that shop prices have risen at their highest rate for two-and-a- | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
half years. Another surge in food prices is largely to blame, as | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
Jeremy Cooke reports. Leicester market, where food | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
shopping is now an exercise in bargain-hunting. Across the country, | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
food inflation is biting into weekly incomes. Latest figures show | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
that while general inflation runs at 2.9%, the price of food is | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
coming up by 5.7%, year-on-year. But for convenience foods it is | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
even worse, a rise of 7.2%. I am continuously learning to shop more | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
leisurely -- cleverly, and if more people did that we would keep the | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
prices down more. Using the markets a lot more lately, the price of the | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
supermarket has gone through the roof, a weekly shop is more than it | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
was. The price we pay for our food goes well beyond the question of | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
local supply and demand. The economics of all of this are hugely | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
complicated and are conducted on a global scale. | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
For example wheat, the most basic food, is an international commodity, | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
whether grown in the wheat belt of America or the vast Ukrainian | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
planes, the price is the same. All of this is beyond control of the | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
politicians in Westminster. There are big countries like Russia who | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
can hold on to a large chunk of the grey market, but outside of those | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
few controlling influences it is an open market place. We are | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
powerless? Yes. But the supermarkets say they are doing | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
their best to keep prices down. The chief executive of Waitrose says | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
food inflation is just 3%. Some analysts remain sceptical. Food | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
inflation at the moment is running at around 5%, but if you take the | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
impact of the deals the supermarkets are offering, the | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
price customers are paying at the tail is closer to 4% higher than | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
one year ago. For most of us it is not about macro-economics, it is | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
about the daily or weekly shop and the fact that food is getting | :17:41. | :17:51. | |
harder and harder to afford. Our top story tonight: A public | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
inquiry promised into the phone hacking scandal at the News of the | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
world's as Rupert Murdoch calls the allegations deplorable and | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
unacceptable. The plight of the children caught | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
in the drought in the Horn of Africa. | :18:07. | :18:11. | |

:18:25. | :18:29. | ||
prices rise, but the Halifax warns It is a small ray of hope in a | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
difficult jobs market. And engineering business in South | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
Yorkshire officially opened a new high-tech factory today, creating | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
50 jobs. It is just the latest example of private sector job | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
growth, where more than half a million jobs have been created over | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
the last year. But as he put reports, that figure covers a wide | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
range of positions -- but as Hugh Pym reports. | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Three walkers, three very different stories. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
-- three workers. He has been taken on as an apprentice at an | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
engineering business in Rotherham, before which he was made redundant | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
when his previous employer could not afford his training. Losing a | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
job is like losing a limb, you end up sat in the house, writing CVs | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
and getting nowhere. His employer is firing on all cylinders. It | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
makes large steel components and is growing fast on the back of | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
overseas orders, so it is taking on new workers. We have invested | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
heavily in people, the facility and equipment, our plan is to try to | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
double sales in the next five years. This used to be a warehouse and | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
distribution centre for a major retailer, but not any more. It is a | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
sign of the Times as a manufacturer has moved into this huge space, | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
leaving room for future expansion and, in doing so, creating jobs. | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Jobs for experienced workers like Michael. He was out of work for | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
seven months on the opportunity was just what he needed. Had you begin | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
to fear that may be a job like this would not come along? Very much so. | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
I am 55, there are not many positions available, particularly | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
for people of my age group. don't need to go far from that | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
expanding business to find another side of the job story, insecurity | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
and shattered dreams. There are more than a million people working | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
part-time because they can't get a full-time job. Emma is one of them. | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
Three years after graduating she lives at home with her parents in | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Sheffield and works part-time in a shop. It is not what she expected | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
when she got a degree. Why didn't I do an apprenticeship? I wonder that | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
sometimes, they were around when I was 16, but you were encouraged to | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
do a degree and you always believe your teachers. I took their advice | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
and went to university, but there are so many of us. Technically they | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
are all in work, but dig beneath the surface and you find the jobs | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
market is complex and does not always deliver what workers hope | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
for. An appeal will be launched on | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
Friday by the Disasters Emergency Committee to raise money to help | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
the millions being affected by a severe drought in the Horn of | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
Africa. Parts of Somalia, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia have been | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
officially declared a crisis own. More than 300,000 people in | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
desperate need of food and water are staying at the Dadaab refugee | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
camp in Kenya, the largest camp of its kind in the world. Ben Brown is | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
there. For those people fleeing from | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
drought and civil war in Somalia, this desolate camp is their new | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
home. It could soon be filled with about half a million, and the death | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
rate among young infants here has trebled in recent months. There is | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
a growing problem with the number of children here all alone. | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Among the refugees at this camp there are hundreds of lost children | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
and orphans. Some were separated from their families on the long | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
walk from Somalia. Others, like Abdi Salam and his sister Aisha, no | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
longer have parents. Their father died in Somalia's civil war, then | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
last month their mother was killed as well. TRANSLATION: It is better | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
here, back in Somalia there was war. We have no relic -- relatives there | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
so we fled here. We now have a foster mother to look after us. | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
the camp hospital, these children have parents but precious little | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
else. Drought and war mean their bodies have been horribly weakened | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
by malnutrition, and by the time they reach this clinic, it can be | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
too late. The doctors here are working | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
frantically to save as many lives as they can, but too often they | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
have to register the names of their patients here in this, the | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
desperate. Inside, the names of the children who have died are recently | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
registered by date. On Sunday, -- on some days, two or three children | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
he will lose their fight for life. The causes of deaths are registered | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
as a variety of illness and disease, but the cause is always the same | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
thing, chronic malnutrition. Matinay Abdilulu is one year old | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
and so frail that, like many of the children here, he is causing | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
doctors serious concern. TRANSLATION: We need food, water, | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
medicine, shelter and everything else that a human being needs. We | :23:39. | :23:48. | |
are never going back to Somalia. Hospital staff told me if they are | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
under resourced and overstressed and need the world do help. A | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
donkey drawn car is the makeshift ambulance to bring fresh casualties | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
to the clinic. It is not only children but the elderly who are | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
vulnerable to malnutrition. This worst drought for 60 years is | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
killing young and old alike. If it may sound strange, but aid | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
workers hearsay the people here are comparatively well off, at least | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
they have basic supplies of food, water and medicine. Be on the camp | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
there is something like nine or 10 million people affected by the | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
drought, many of them have not had any help at all -- beyond this camp. | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
A massive dust storm has swept through the American state of | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
Arizona. Flights were delayed and motorists struggled with poor | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
visibility as strong winds tore down trees and power cables. Radar | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
data showed that the towering dust reached heights of 10,000 feet. | :24:46. | :24:49. | |

Games. Back to our main story, the phone | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
hacking scandal engulfing the News of the World. Nick Robinson is in | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
Westminster and you have to wonder where it can go next. You have to | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
wonder but you can't possibly know. The tier most powerful man in the | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
land, you might argue, the Prime Minister and Rupert Murdoch, the | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
great owner of most of the media, they are used to controlling events | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
but they are not in control of these. David Cameron has launched a | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
couple of inquiries but can't tell us what they are about, who will | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
lead them or when. At the back of his mind must be a real fear that | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
the appointment made years ago of Andy Coulson as director of | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
communications may still cause real damage. Rupert Murdoch decided | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
today to back his Chief Executive Rebekah Brooks in the face of | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
criticism from politicians, advertisers and readers. He can't | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
know what will happen next. The leader of the opposition Ed | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
Miliband took an extraordinary gamble - brave leadership, some | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
would say, others would say it was foolhardy - to actually stand up to | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
the Murdoch empire in that way. Nobody one week ago would have | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
predicted where we are tonight, let alone four years ago when the first | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
individual was imprisoned over the phone hacking affair. There is no | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
knowing where it goes, in truth, just a sense that nothing will be | :26:22. | :26:32. | |
Thank you. And now a look at the weather: The Scottish Open starts | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
tomorrow, it is a good thing they are not playing at St Andrews. It | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
was an absolute deluge today. It has been pouring with rain all day | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
across the spics way that Scotland, particularly eastern areas, where | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
we have seen over an inch of rain, prompting a flood warnings. Heavy | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
storms across the UK and more definite storms in Wales and the | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
West Country, accompanied by particularly squally winds. Showers | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
sweeping in from the south-west, a fairly wild night and heavy rain on | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
your window panes. Overnight tonight in many places apart from | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
the far north of Scotland, where it will stay mostly dry. It will not | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
be cold, but still heavy rain to come across Eastern Scotland, the | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
persistent stuff should fade away but a whole raft of stuff elsewhere | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
in the UK. The downpours tomorrow will become | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
aligned into discrete zones, some places will see many showers but | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
others will get some sunshine. Temperatures will stick -- struggle | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
to pick up in the morning, it is in the mid- teens at 8 o'clock and it | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
will not get higher than that in some places. Further north, the | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
winds will be a lighter, for example across Northern Ireland, | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
but that will mean that the lively storms could last quite a while. A | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
pretty lively day, weather-wise. If we go through the day, the showers | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
keep on going, was under is a risk virtually anywhere, with pale mixed | :28:07. | :28:13. | |
in -- the Sunday is a risk. When the showers come a long, | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
temperatures will fall by several temperatures will fall by several | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
degrees. More heavy, squally showers on Friday, a hint of | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
southern and western areas turning dry on Saturday. | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
