:05:07. > :05:10.the World? Endemic is a very hard, is a very wide-ranging word. I also

:05:20. > :05:21.
:05:21. > :05:29.which is taking place now. That has been disclosed. I became aware as
:05:29. > :05:35.it became apparent. And then I was absolutely shocked, appalled and
:05:35. > :05:38.ashamed when I heard about the Milly Dowler case only two weeks'
:05:38. > :05:44.ago. But was there a cover-up given that most of the alleged phone
:05:44. > :05:47.hacking and illegal bribing of police happened between 2002 and
:05:47. > :05:51.2006? James Murdoch, who became Chief Executive of News
:05:51. > :05:56.International at the end of 2007, says that he wasn't made aware of
:05:56. > :06:00.the contents of News of the World e-mails uncovered earlier that year.
:06:00. > :06:04.If I knew then what we know now and with the benefit of hindsight with

:06:07. > :06:11.have taken more action around that and moved faster to get to the
:06:11. > :06:15.bottom of these allegations. James Murdoch said he arelyed on advice
:06:15. > :06:18.from the lawyers Harbottle & Lewis that the extent of malpractice at
:06:18. > :06:23.the News of the World was limited. One of the things that went back
:06:23. > :06:28.and looked at, I suppose it was in the spring by senior people of News
:06:28. > :06:32.International, was that file and it was relooked at, opened up and
:06:32. > :06:37.looked at, it was rapidly brought to our attention that this was
:06:37. > :06:42.something... When did this happen? Again, this is between May - April,
:06:42. > :06:45.prey, June. When was it give tonne the police? It has been reported as
:06:45. > :06:49.June 20th? I believe it was in June after we informed the board of the
:06:49. > :06:52.company. What some will see as shocking was the confirmation by
:06:53. > :06:56.the Murdochs that their company was paying the legal expenses of Glenn
:06:56. > :07:00.Mulcaire, the private detective hired by the News of the World to

:07:10. > :07:15.you behaved disgracefully, we are not going to pay any more of your

:07:20. > :07:25.are doing or indeed what his contract was. What of the friends
:07:25. > :07:35.in high places for long seen as the maker and breaker of British Prime

:07:35. > :07:40.Ministers? I was invited within days to have a cup of tea with Mr
:07:40. > :07:46.Cameron. No other conversation took place. High drama to the circus - a
:07:46. > :07:56.custard pie in the face of a shaken tycoon. Have you considered
:07:56. > :08:01.resigning? No. Why not? Because I feel that people I trusted - I'm
:08:01. > :08:06.not saying who - I don't know what level - they let me down and I
:08:06. > :08:13.think they behaved disgracefully, betrayed the company and me and it
:08:13. > :08:17.is for them to pay. I think that frankly I am the best person to
:08:17. > :08:22.clean this up. Many questions are still unabsed about who committed
:08:22. > :08:28.the appalling acts at the News of the World and who knew what when.
:08:28. > :08:36.The Murdochs will probably be seen to have emerged bruised but not
:08:37. > :08:41.broken by today's ordeal. Just hours before the Murdochs faced MPs,
:08:41. > :08:45.two of Scotland Yard's most senior officers were also questioned. The
:08:45. > :08:48.Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson and the former Assistant
:08:49. > :08:52.Commissioner, John Yates, had denied any wrongdoing. They were
:08:52. > :08:56.grilled over their links to the News of the World and how many News
:08:57. > :09:00.International staff have ended up working for the Met. Mark Easton
:09:00. > :09:06.looks at the police investigation into the phone-hacking scandal. His
:09:06. > :09:10.report also contains flash photography.
:09:10. > :09:14.It was a Scotland Yard interrogation but this time it was
:09:14. > :09:19.senior officers who were required to answer the questions. Summoned
:09:19. > :09:23.to Parliament, the Met Commissioner was the first to sit in the
:09:23. > :09:27.interview chair. Order. Could I call the committee to order.
:09:27. > :09:32.committee of MPs wanted to know if his resignation statement on Sunday
:09:32. > :09:36.had included a coded swipe at the Prime Minister. I cannot as is
:09:36. > :09:40.plainly obvious control the way the media spin things or interpret
:09:41. > :09:44.things. I am just saying here and now I made no personal attack on
:09:44. > :09:48.the Prime Minister. The centrepiece of the MPs' cross-examination was
:09:48. > :09:52.the relationship between two institutions - Scotland Yard and
:09:52. > :09:56.News International. It emerged that there have been remarkably close
:09:56. > :10:00.links with senior officers regularly being wined and dined by
:10:00. > :10:03.Murdoch executives at restaurants like this one in West London. The
:10:03. > :10:08.Commissioner accepted that he had 18 lunches and dinners with News
:10:08. > :10:13.International figures in five years. Seven or eight of them with a News
:10:13. > :10:16.of the World journalist now accused of phone hacking. News
:10:16. > :10:21.International represents 42% of the press readership. If I am going to
:10:21. > :10:24.maintain a velgsship with the media, it wasn't my decision and I make no
:10:24. > :10:29.criticism here, it was not my decision to allow News
:10:30. > :10:35.International to be so dominant in the market. -- relationship. If
:10:35. > :10:41.they have 42% of the readership in this country, who am I going to
:10:41. > :10:44.talk to? It also emerged of the 45 staff at the Met ten are former
:10:44. > :10:49.News International employees. But it was another Murdoch man given a
:10:49. > :10:53.job at the Yard that the committee were particularly interested in,
:10:53. > :10:56.Neil Wallis. Now arrested for alleged phone hacking, the former
:10:56. > :11:00.Deputy Editor of the News of the World was hired just weeks after
:11:00. > :11:05.detectives had decided not to pursue press claims of widespread
:11:05. > :11:09.hacking at the paper. In the chair, Dick Fedorcio, head of public
:11:10. > :11:15.affairs. He insisted he never asked Mr Wallis if he knew about phone
:11:15. > :11:18.hacking because a colleague John Yates had vouched for him. John
:11:18. > :11:23.Yates conducted a form of due diligence on Mr Wallis and he can
:11:23. > :11:27.explain that to you better than I can later. But as far as I'm
:11:27. > :11:32.concerned Neil Wallis gave John Yates categorical assurance that
:11:32. > :11:37.there was nothing in the previous phone hacking matters that could
:11:38. > :11:42.embarrass him... Mr Yates, the Assistant Commissioner who resigned
:11:42. > :11:45.yesterday, confirmed that Neil Wallis had been a friend, if not a
:11:45. > :11:50.buddy for ten years. He was also the officer who decided there was
:11:50. > :11:53.no need to re-open the phone hacking inquiry following
:11:53. > :11:56.revelations by Guardian journalist Nick Davis. Back in the chair, he
:11:56. > :12:04.had occupied a week ago, Mr Yates told the committee he thought his
:12:04. > :12:08.role in Mr Wallis's appointment had been overegged. I sought assurances
:12:08. > :12:13.off Mr Wallis before the contract was let to the effect - I have a
:12:13. > :12:17.note, I can read it if you like - is there anything in the matters
:12:17. > :12:21.that Nick Davis is still chasing and still reporting on that could
:12:21. > :12:23.at any stage embarrass you, Mr Wallis, me, the Commissioner, or
:12:23. > :12:27.the Metropolitan Police? I received categorical assurances that that
:12:27. > :12:34.was the case. Mr Yates was also asked about a job at the Yard given
:12:34. > :12:38.to Mr Wallis's daughter, Amy. absolutely nothing to do with her
:12:38. > :12:41.employment. I was simply a post box. And then there were questions today
:12:41. > :12:50.about yet another News of the World reporter, arrested over phone
:12:50. > :12:54.hacking, who it is claimed worked as an informant at the Yard. Sir
:12:54. > :12:58.Paul Stephenson hinting today would probably be his last as
:12:58. > :13:01.Commissioner of the Met, headed back to the Yard pursued by the
:13:02. > :13:05.media. Today has illustrated it has been a far too cosy relationship
:13:05. > :13:12.between police and press and particularly between the Met and
:13:12. > :13:16.Murdoch. I'm joined by Nick Robinson. You were in the room with
:13:16. > :13:19.Rupert Murdoch, we have heard Robert Peston call him a maker or
:13:19. > :13:26.breaker of British politicians. What was the atmosphere like?
:13:26. > :13:31.one stage it felt like the curtain had been pulled back on the Wizard
:13:31. > :13:38.of Oz. There will of course be one picture and one headline in
:13:38. > :13:46.tomorrow's papers, the image of that pie in his face, the headline
:13:46. > :13:50."his most humble day". The most humble note came with the questions.
:13:50. > :13:54.His wife looked concerned. She put her hand on his shoulder trying to
:13:54. > :13:58.give him advice. His son lent over to try and intervene and wasn't
:13:58. > :14:03.allowed to do it. That was the humbling. In fact, after that
:14:03. > :14:07.attack by the man with the paper plate and the foam, one MP in the
:14:07. > :14:12.room heard someone say to James Murdoch, "Don't worry, it's fine."
:14:12. > :14:15.They thought that helped them. as we speak, there is a story
:14:16. > :14:20.breaking about Andy Coulson? It is a story not just about Andy Coulson
:14:20. > :14:24.but about the other man who we have heard more and more about this week,
:14:24. > :14:29.Neil Wallis who was his Deputy Editor at the News of the World and
:14:29. > :14:32.whose appointment by the Metropolitan Police to give PR
:14:32. > :14:35.advice caused the resignation of two senior figures. The
:14:35. > :14:37.Conservative Party have released a statement to the BBC, to the
:14:37. > :14:41.Panorama programme, in response to a question that was asked. I will
:14:42. > :14:51.tell you what it says. "It's been drawn to our attention that Neil
:14:51. > :14:56.Wallis may have given informal advice to Andy Coulson. No-one else
:14:56. > :14:59.was aware of this and no payment was made." The significance of this
:15:00. > :15:03.is it links the two people most controversial in this case, Andy
:15:03. > :15:07.Coulson working for the Prime Minister, Neil Wallis, working for
:15:07. > :15:17.the head of the Metropolitan Police. It is a link Downing Street will
:15:17. > :15:19.
:15:19. > :15:24.I'll be back later in the programme to see whether public perception
:15:24. > :15:28.has changed after the phone hacking scandal. You can keep up to date on
:15:28. > :15:33.line, where you can find all of the key point and video clips of per
:15:33. > :15:38.day's committee hearings. Now it is over to Kate Silverton.
:15:38. > :15:40.Thank you. Let's have a look at the day's other news. Detectives say
:15:40. > :15:43.the person responsible for contaminating saline drips could
:15:43. > :15:45.still be at Stepping Hill Hospital in Greater Manchester. Officers
:15:45. > :15:51.believe insulin was deliberately injected into saline containers
:15:51. > :15:57.used in drips. Three people have died, and a fourth is seriously ill.
:15:57. > :16:02.Let's go live to Stockport and Ed Thomas.
:16:02. > :16:05.Yes, as you can see, security is very tight. That is because we
:16:05. > :16:10.still don't know who is contaminating this medicine. It
:16:10. > :16:16.could be a visitor. But what is shocking staff and visitors is it
:16:16. > :16:22.could also be somebody who works here.
:16:22. > :16:26.Every car checked in and bad. Police covering hospital entrances.
:16:26. > :16:30.-- out. And all because detectives believe that whoever has been
:16:30. > :16:34.contaminating medicine here could still be inside the hospital.
:16:34. > :16:40.horrible to think that somebody may be deliberately trying to harm
:16:40. > :16:43.patients. And maybe still working here? Potentially. The
:16:43. > :16:46.investigation has focused on those who work in a hospital and those
:16:46. > :16:51.who have visited. Here are the people whose deaths are being
:16:51. > :16:57.investigated. Tracey Arden, a mother of two. Arnold Lancaster,
:16:57. > :17:01.who was 71. And 84-year-old great- grandfather George Keep. All of
:17:01. > :17:06.them had been given its saline ampoules similar to these. But they
:17:06. > :17:11.had been filled with insulin, which causes blood sugar levels to fall.
:17:11. > :17:17.It has left many patients and visitors worried about their safety.
:17:17. > :17:24.It is worrying. You don't know if you are going to go next. You might
:17:24. > :17:29.take kill yourself. Frightened. You just don't want to be ill.
:17:29. > :17:33.security has been increased. Saline is now kept in a locked room and
:17:33. > :17:37.medics were compares if they want to administer drugs. In less than a
:17:37. > :17:42.week, those who work here have seen the hospital go from a place of
:17:42. > :17:47.care to a crime scene. This is a criminal act, perpetrated by
:17:47. > :17:53.somebody with malicious intent. And we don't believe that it could have
:17:53. > :17:57.been anticipated. Their families, police and the hospital will wait
:17:57. > :18:01.for post mortem examination results. They hope it will show exactly what
:18:01. > :18:06.caused the deaths of all three patients.
:18:07. > :18:10.This could be a long wait. A police say this is a complex forensic
:18:10. > :18:14.investigation and they also say, do not expect any arrests any time
:18:14. > :18:21.soon. Thank you. It is 80 minutes past

:19:36. > :19:43.They have been slaughtered, so that is 18 cows less producing milk.
:19:43. > :19:45.Have you any doubt that badgers play a role in this? No, it is
:19:45. > :19:50.accepted that badgers play a significant role in the
:19:50. > :19:54.transmission of the disease. Scientists agree that badgers carry
:19:54. > :19:58.bovine TB, but at the same time, they are a much loved, iconic

:21:57. > :22:00.out of bed -- motivation, it is always a struggle. She started
:22:00. > :22:06.swimming at the age of four when she was living in Kenya. But she
:22:06. > :22:11.was born in the UK and in 2007, decided to return here to pursue
:22:11. > :22:15.her dream of swimming. She boarded at Plymouth College, where she
:22:15. > :22:19.befriended diving gold medallist Tom Daley. But now she has moved to
:22:19. > :22:23.London to step up preparations for the Olympics. While most teenagers
:22:23. > :22:27.find it harder to drag themselves out of bed in the morning, Acheing
:22:27. > :22:31.Ajulu Bushell has been here since the crack of dawn. She is
:22:31. > :22:38.incredibly committed to has women but also very focused on her school

:22:47. > :22:51.double politics, in which she is contemplating a career. She has had
:22:52. > :22:56.artwork to perfect and friends to catch up with over lunch, before
:22:56. > :23:01.squeezing in a driving lesson. All before the end of school. There are
:23:01. > :23:05.times when I get really stressed and fed up, and think if I didn't
:23:05. > :23:10.swim, I would get better marks. But you have just got to deal with the
:23:10. > :23:14.situations you are given, and I want to do both of these things.
:23:14. > :23:17.She made an impressive start at the British championships before
:23:17. > :23:22.representing England at the Commonwealth Games last year. But
:23:22. > :23:26.she has struggled since. She took a five-week break, partly because of
:23:26. > :23:30.exams, and has missed out on the squad for this month's world
:23:30. > :23:35.championships in China. Like any athlete, getting to the Olympics is
:23:35. > :23:39.going to take huge dedication and self- belief. At coach says she has
:23:39. > :23:47.the talent, she now just needs the resolve and determination that to

:23:50. > :23:53.out to George Alagiah at Westminster.
:23:54. > :23:58.Thank you, or welcome back to Westminster, where Rupert Murdoch
:23:58. > :24:02.has said this was the most humbling day of his life. But on the key
:24:02. > :24:07.question of who know -- who knew what and when on the phone hacking
:24:07. > :24:12.scandal, at Mr Murdoch denied he was responsible. For weeks, the
:24:12. > :24:16.crisis has made the headlines, but has it changed public opinion about
:24:16. > :24:24.the press, politicians and the police? Razia Iqbal has been
:24:24. > :24:28.finding out. Drama at the heart of two of the
:24:28. > :24:31.country's major institutions, from Westminster to Scotland Yard. And
:24:31. > :24:37.between the two, a street market, where we ask how the scandal has
:24:37. > :24:42.changed people's opinions. First, the press. Where did they get the
:24:42. > :24:47.stories from, if not from phone hacking, intercepting e-mails, even
:24:47. > :24:55.looking through rubbish bins? I really think it is has been a long
:24:55. > :25:00.time coming. From the media to the police. It is very, very sad.
:25:00. > :25:04.Robert Peel invented the Metropolitan Police, and they
:25:04. > :25:11.became the epitome of policing for the rest of the world. Now where
:25:11. > :25:16.are they? In to concerns about wider corruption. The normal man in
:25:16. > :25:25.the street would get the sack. Or be taken to court. It doesn't seem
:25:25. > :25:32.as if anything happens to these people. Pay-off, Palethorpe, pay
:25:32. > :25:38.off. There is no trust and no on a. Mr Murdoch, do you accept that
:25:38. > :25:44.ultimately... Her the News Of The World... The midst of the loud
:25:44. > :25:49.voices today, the whispers of widespread disillusion.
:25:49. > :25:54.Let's get the final thought from Nick Robinson. We have had a drama,
:25:54. > :25:58.controversy, but what have we learned overall today? Rupert
:25:58. > :26:02.Murdoch has told us that although he is always seen as being in
:26:02. > :26:07.charge of this hugely powerful company, that he simply didn't know
:26:07. > :26:11.what was going on and he feels let them. And yet when the names were
:26:11. > :26:16.put to him on the people who may have let him down, people who have
:26:16. > :26:20.now that the company, people like Rebekah Brooks, he says it was not
:26:20. > :26:25.then either -- left the company. We know he blames someone but we don't
:26:25. > :26:29.know who, he will say the police are investigating. We also know he
:26:29. > :26:33.says he met with Prime Minister has all the time and he wishes they
:26:33. > :26:37.would leave him alone. I think they might just do that now. It has
:26:37. > :26:42.started drizzling again now, let's get the weather.
:26:42. > :26:45.A banking. Western areas may have A banking. Western areas may have
:26:45. > :26:49.had a dry day, but in eastern parts, it has been particularly wet,
:26:49. > :26:54.especially across parts of the south-east. Heavy downpours here
:26:54. > :26:58.and across South East Scotland. Of greater concern, as we Simeon
:26:58. > :27:02.across Lincolnshire and Yorkshire and into the north-east, some slow-
:27:03. > :27:07.moving torrential storms to take us into the evening. The risk of some
:27:07. > :27:11.minor flooding into the evening and overnight as the showers continued.
:27:11. > :27:16.It is this sort of area where we are most concerned. The showers
:27:16. > :27:20.will barely abate for one or two. The wet weather of a return to the
:27:20. > :27:26.South West, but away from those areas, it will be a dry night,
:27:26. > :27:29.temperatures of around 11-13. Not a desperately chilly start tomorrow,
:27:29. > :27:35.and the North of Scotland will brighten up with a lot -- one or
:27:35. > :27:39.two showers. Into Northern Ireland, fine and bright, but north-east
:27:39. > :27:43.England, thunderstorms at this stage of the day. Some sunshine
:27:43. > :27:48.across other parts of northern England into East Anglia, but
:27:48. > :27:53.generally cloudy air in Wales and the South West. Devon and Cornwall,
:27:53. > :27:57.a wet start. The rate will continue, pushing across other southern
:27:57. > :28:02.counties -- rain. Those slow-moving thunderstorms across northern
:28:02. > :28:08.England in particular, but away from that, of varying amounts of
:28:08. > :28:13.brightness. Quite a few will stay dry, temperatures 17-20. The
:28:13. > :28:17.showers continued into Wednesday, even in to Thursday. But first they,
:28:17. > :28:21.their heaviest showers will be sudden central part of limit and
:28:21. > :28:22.South Wales -- first there. Friday and Saturday looks like the

:28:29. > :28:34.the drier weather. Thank you very much. A reminder of
