Rupert Murdoch, one of the world's most powerful media tycoons, is | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
called to account at Westminster over the phone-hacking scandal. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Father and son, Rupert and James, heading for an unprecedented | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
confrontation with MPs. I would like to say one sentence - | :00:26. | :00:30. | |

victims? Rupert Murdoch insists he is not to blame. The News of the | :00:39. | :00:44. | |

Brooks has insisted the company acted quickly and decisively in | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
dealing with the scandal. Also in the spotlight, two of the | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
country's top police officers questioned about their links with | :01:17. | :01:22. | |

News at Six. We are at Westminster where Rupert Murdoch, one of the | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
most powerful media moguls in the world, said this was the most | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
humbling day of his life. Mr Murdoch insisted he was not | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
responsible for the phone-hacking scandal, blaming those he trusted | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
to run his newspapers. In a day of high political drama, the | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
proceedings were interrupted as a demonstrator tried to attack Mr | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
Murdoch as he and his son, James, answered questions from MPs. In a | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
moment, I have two of the countries most senior police officers explain | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
their link with the Murdoch media empire. This report contains some | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
flash photography. The moment when two of the world's | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
most powerful media moguls, Rupert Murdoch and his son, James, arrived | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
to be held to account by MPs for the way that their News of the | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
World Sunday tabloid invaded the privacy of vulnerable individuals. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
REPORTER: Do you have anything you want to say to the victims of phone | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
hacking? After decades wielding huge power | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
at the top of the British and tkphrobl media industry, how was it | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
for the 80 -- global media industry, how was it for the 80-year-old? | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
would like to say one sentence - this is the most humble day of my | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
life. The media, directing a lens at the UK's biggest newspaper | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
company. So what did the Murdochs know about the alleged abuses at | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
the News of the World? Watched by his wife, who is in the chair | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
behind, not as much as you might think, said Rupert Murdoch. Can I | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
just say something? And this is not an excuse, maybe it is an | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
explanation, the News of the World is less than 1% of our company. I | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
employ 53,000 people around the world who are proud and great and | :04:22. | :04:32. | |
:04:32. | :04:35. | ||
ethical and distinguished people, professionals. Perhaps I am | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
appointing people whom I trust. revelation only 15 days ago of the | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
alleged hacking of the mobile phone of Milly Dowler at the instigation | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
of the News of the World is why the Murdochs have to explain themselves. | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
At what point did you find out the criminality was endemic at News of | :04:53. | :05:03. | |
:05:03. | :05:07. | ||
the World? Endemic is a very hard, is a very wide-ranging word. I also | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
have to be extremely careful not to prejudice the course of justice | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
:05:20. | :05:21. | ||
which is taking place now. That has been disclosed. I became aware as | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
it became apparent. And then I was absolutely shocked, appalled and | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
ashamed when I heard about the Milly Dowler case only two weeks' | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
ago. But was there a cover-up given that most of the alleged phone | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
hacking and illegal bribing of police happened between 2002 and | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
2006? James Murdoch, who became Chief Executive of News | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
International at the end of 2007, says that he wasn't made aware of | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
the contents of News of the World e-mails uncovered earlier that year. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
If I knew then what we know now and with the benefit of hindsight with | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
can look at all these things. If I knew then what we know now we would | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
have taken more action around that and moved faster to get to the | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
bottom of these allegations. James Murdoch said he arelyed on advice | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
from the lawyers Harbottle & Lewis that the extent of malpractice at | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
the News of the World was limited. One of the things that went back | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
and looked at, I suppose it was in the spring by senior people of News | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
International, was that file and it was relooked at, opened up and | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
looked at, it was rapidly brought to our attention that this was | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
something... When did this happen? Again, this is between May - April, | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
prey, June. When was it give tonne the police? It has been reported as | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
June 20th? I believe it was in June after we informed the board of the | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
company. What some will see as shocking was the confirmation by | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
the Murdochs that their company was paying the legal expenses of Glenn | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Mulcaire, the private detective hired by the News of the World to | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
hack the phones of individuals long after Mr Mulcaire was imprisoned. | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
Is it not time for your organisation to say do your worst, | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
you behaved disgracefully, we are not going to pay any more of your | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
costs? I would like to do that. I don't know the status of what we | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
are doing or indeed what his contract was. What of the friends | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
in high places for long seen as the maker and breaker of British Prime | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
:07:35. | :07:35. | ||
Ministers? I was invited within days to have a cup of tea with Mr | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
Cameron. No other conversation took place. High drama to the circus - a | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
custard pie in the face of a shaken tycoon. Have you considered | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
resigning? No. Why not? Because I feel that people I trusted - I'm | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
not saying who - I don't know what level - they let me down and I | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
think they behaved disgracefully, betrayed the company and me and it | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
is for them to pay. I think that frankly I am the best person to | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
clean this up. Many questions are still unabsed about who committed | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
the appalling acts at the News of the World and who knew what when. | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
The Murdochs will probably be seen to have emerged bruised but not | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
broken by today's ordeal. Just hours before the Murdochs faced MPs, | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
two of Scotland Yard's most senior officers were also questioned. The | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson and the former Assistant | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Commissioner, John Yates, had denied any wrongdoing. They were | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
grilled over their links to the News of the World and how many News | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
International staff have ended up working for the Met. Mark Easton | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
looks at the police investigation into the phone-hacking scandal. His | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
report also contains flash photography. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
It was a Scotland Yard interrogation but this time it was | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
senior officers who were required to answer the questions. Summoned | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
to Parliament, the Met Commissioner was the first to sit in the | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
interview chair. Order. Could I call the committee to order. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
committee of MPs wanted to know if his resignation statement on Sunday | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
had included a coded swipe at the Prime Minister. I cannot as is | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
plainly obvious control the way the media spin things or interpret | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
things. I am just saying here and now I made no personal attack on | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
the Prime Minister. The centrepiece of the MPs' cross-examination was | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
the relationship between two institutions - Scotland Yard and | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
News International. It emerged that there have been remarkably close | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
links with senior officers regularly being wined and dined by | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Murdoch executives at restaurants like this one in West London. The | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
Commissioner accepted that he had 18 lunches and dinners with News | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
International figures in five years. Seven or eight of them with a News | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
of the World journalist now accused of phone hacking. News | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
International represents 42% of the press readership. If I am going to | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
maintain a velgsship with the media, it wasn't my decision and I make no | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
criticism here, it was not my decision to allow News | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
International to be so dominant in the market. -- relationship. If | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
they have 42% of the readership in this country, who am I going to | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
talk to? It also emerged of the 45 staff at the Met ten are former | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
News International employees. But it was another Murdoch man given a | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
job at the Yard that the committee were particularly interested in, | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Neil Wallis. Now arrested for alleged phone hacking, the former | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Deputy Editor of the News of the World was hired just weeks after | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
detectives had decided not to pursue press claims of widespread | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
hacking at the paper. In the chair, Dick Fedorcio, head of public | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
affairs. He insisted he never asked Mr Wallis if he knew about phone | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
hacking because a colleague John Yates had vouched for him. John | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Yates conducted a form of due diligence on Mr Wallis and he can | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
explain that to you better than I can later. But as far as I'm | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
concerned Neil Wallis gave John Yates categorical assurance that | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
there was nothing in the previous phone hacking matters that could | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
embarrass him... Mr Yates, the Assistant Commissioner who resigned | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
yesterday, confirmed that Neil Wallis had been a friend, if not a | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
buddy for ten years. He was also the officer who decided there was | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
no need to re-open the phone hacking inquiry following | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
revelations by Guardian journalist Nick Davis. Back in the chair, he | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
had occupied a week ago, Mr Yates told the committee he thought his | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
role in Mr Wallis's appointment had been overegged. I sought assurances | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
off Mr Wallis before the contract was let to the effect - I have a | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
note, I can read it if you like - is there anything in the matters | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
that Nick Davis is still chasing and still reporting on that could | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
at any stage embarrass you, Mr Wallis, me, the Commissioner, or | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
the Metropolitan Police? I received categorical assurances that that | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
was the case. Mr Yates was also asked about a job at the Yard given | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
to Mr Wallis's daughter, Amy. absolutely nothing to do with her | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
employment. I was simply a post box. And then there were questions today | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
about yet another News of the World reporter, arrested over phone | :12:41. | :12:50. | |
hacking, who it is claimed worked as an informant at the Yard. Sir | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
Paul Stephenson hinting today would probably be his last as | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Commissioner of the Met, headed back to the Yard pursued by the | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
media. Today has illustrated it has been a far too cosy relationship | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
between police and press and particularly between the Met and | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
Murdoch. I'm joined by Nick Robinson. You were in the room with | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
Rupert Murdoch, we have heard Robert Peston call him a maker or | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
breaker of British politicians. What was the atmosphere like? | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
one stage it felt like the curtain had been pulled back on the Wizard | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
of Oz. There will of course be one picture and one headline in | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
tomorrow's papers, the image of that pie in his face, the headline | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
"his most humble day". The most humble note came with the questions. | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
His wife looked concerned. She put her hand on his shoulder trying to | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
give him advice. His son lent over to try and intervene and wasn't | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
allowed to do it. That was the humbling. In fact, after that | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
attack by the man with the paper plate and the foam, one MP in the | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
room heard someone say to James Murdoch, "Don't worry, it's fine." | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
They thought that helped them. as we speak, there is a story | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
breaking about Andy Coulson? It is a story not just about Andy Coulson | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
but about the other man who we have heard more and more about this week, | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
Neil Wallis who was his Deputy Editor at the News of the World and | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
whose appointment by the Metropolitan Police to give PR | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
advice caused the resignation of two senior figures. The | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Conservative Party have released a statement to the BBC, to the | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Panorama programme, in response to a question that was asked. I will | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
tell you what it says. "It's been drawn to our attention that Neil | :14:42. | :14:51. | |
Wallis may have given informal advice to Andy Coulson. No-one else | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
was aware of this and no payment was made." The significance of this | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
is it links the two people most controversial in this case, Andy | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
Coulson working for the Prime Minister, Neil Wallis, working for | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
the head of the Metropolitan Police. It is a link Downing Street will | :15:07. | :15:17. | |
:15:17. | :15:19. | ||
I'll be back later in the programme to see whether public perception | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
has changed after the phone hacking scandal. You can keep up to date on | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
line, where you can find all of the key point and video clips of per | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
day's committee hearings. Now it is over to Kate Silverton. | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
Thank you. Let's have a look at the day's other news. Detectives say | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
the person responsible for contaminating saline drips could | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
still be at Stepping Hill Hospital in Greater Manchester. Officers | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
believe insulin was deliberately injected into saline containers | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
used in drips. Three people have died, and a fourth is seriously ill. | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
Let's go live to Stockport and Ed Thomas. | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
Yes, as you can see, security is very tight. That is because we | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
still don't know who is contaminating this medicine. It | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
could be a visitor. But what is shocking staff and visitors is it | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
could also be somebody who works here. | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
Every car checked in and bad. Police covering hospital entrances. | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
-- out. And all because detectives believe that whoever has been | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
contaminating medicine here could still be inside the hospital. | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
horrible to think that somebody may be deliberately trying to harm | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
patients. And maybe still working here? Potentially. The | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
investigation has focused on those who work in a hospital and those | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
who have visited. Here are the people whose deaths are being | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
investigated. Tracey Arden, a mother of two. Arnold Lancaster, | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
who was 71. And 84-year-old great- grandfather George Keep. All of | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
them had been given its saline ampoules similar to these. But they | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
had been filled with insulin, which causes blood sugar levels to fall. | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
It has left many patients and visitors worried about their safety. | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
It is worrying. You don't know if you are going to go next. You might | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
take kill yourself. Frightened. You just don't want to be ill. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
security has been increased. Saline is now kept in a locked room and | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
medics were compares if they want to administer drugs. In less than a | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
week, those who work here have seen the hospital go from a place of | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
care to a crime scene. This is a criminal act, perpetrated by | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
somebody with malicious intent. And we don't believe that it could have | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
been anticipated. Their families, police and the hospital will wait | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
for post mortem examination results. They hope it will show exactly what | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
caused the deaths of all three patients. | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
This could be a long wait. A police say this is a complex forensic | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
investigation and they also say, do not expect any arrests any time | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
soon. Thank you. It is 80 minutes past | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
six, our top story. Under scrutiny by Parliament, Rupert and James | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks give evidence to MPs over the phone | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
hacking scandal. Rupert Murdoch described it as the most humbling | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
day of his life. Coming up, but just over a year to | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
London 2012, we meet the Olympic hopeful that juggling school work | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
:18:47. | :18:49. | ||
with intensive training. Later on BBC London, at the death | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
of a news of a World journalist at his Watford home is described as a | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
tragedy by the Prime Minister -- News Of The World. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
The Government has given the go- ahead for a cull of badgers in | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
parts of England. The cull, which will be piloted in the south-west, | :19:07. | :19:17. | |
:19:17. | :19:22. | ||
will aim to stop the spread of It looks idyllic, but many of our | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
farms could be in crisis. This is one of many where bovine | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
tuberculosis has struck. David Moreton has lost 18 cattle alone. | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
They have been slaughtered, so that is 18 cows less producing milk. | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
Have you any doubt that badgers play a role in this? No, it is | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
accepted that badgers play a significant role in the | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
transmission of the disease. Scientists agree that badgers carry | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
bovine TB, but at the same time, they are a much loved, iconic | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
character. Ministers know that their decision to back a cull of | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
thousands of badgers will be bitterly opposed by activists and | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
event some farmers. Personally, I don't think it will work. Many | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
infected badgers are just get forced out into wider areas, and | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
the biggest concern is the public backlash. The idea putting forward | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
by ministers is that badgers on farms like this one bobby shot by | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
trained marksmen. Initially, there will be to pilot areas. The idea is | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
to make sure the job can be done effectively, efficiently and | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
humanely. Already, campaigners, whose High Court action overturned | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
the official Welsh policy for a badger cull, are preparing for a | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
similar legal battle in England. Now cull is planned in Northern | :20:43. | :20:53. | |
Ireland or Scotland, which is free A swimmer from Rochdale has become | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
the first person to guarantee a place in the British team at next | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
summer's Olympic Games. Keri-Anne Payne led all the way in the 10k | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
open water raised in Chang kept -- Shanghai. She has already won an | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Olympic silver medal and is hoping for gold next year. | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
One of those hoping to join hair is one young British weather, Acheing | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
Ajulu Bushell -- joined have. Luisa Baldini has been to see how the | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
teenager is managing to juggle training with her school work or | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
stop this is a girl who can make a splash. | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
Acheing Ajulu Bushell switched last year from representing Kenya to | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
start swimming for Great Britain. Her goal is to represent Team GB at | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
next year's Olympics. The 17-year- old often trains two times a day, | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
before and after school. Getting up at 5am doesn't trigger get any | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
easier. You get used to it, but the most of the Asian to get yourself | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
out of bed -- motivation, it is always a struggle. She started | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
swimming at the age of four when she was living in Kenya. But she | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
was born in the UK and in 2007, decided to return here to pursue | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
her dream of swimming. She boarded at Plymouth College, where she | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
befriended diving gold medallist Tom Daley. But now she has moved to | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
London to step up preparations for the Olympics. While most teenagers | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
find it harder to drag themselves out of bed in the morning, Acheing | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
Ajulu Bushell has been here since the crack of dawn. She is | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
incredibly committed to has women but also very focused on her school | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
work. -- to have swimming. After a cup of coffee, it is after school, | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
where she is studying A-levels. Double economics is followed by | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
double politics, in which she is contemplating a career. She has had | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
artwork to perfect and friends to catch up with over lunch, before | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
squeezing in a driving lesson. All before the end of school. There are | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
times when I get really stressed and fed up, and think if I didn't | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
swim, I would get better marks. But you have just got to deal with the | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
situations you are given, and I want to do both of these things. | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
She made an impressive start at the British championships before | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
representing England at the Commonwealth Games last year. But | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
she has struggled since. She took a five-week break, partly because of | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
exams, and has missed out on the squad for this month's world | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
championships in China. Like any athlete, getting to the Olympics is | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
going to take huge dedication and self- belief. At coach says she has | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
the talent, she now just needs the resolve and determination that to | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
grab her chance. That is it from me, we will go back | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
out to George Alagiah at Westminster. | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
Thank you, or welcome back to Westminster, where Rupert Murdoch | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
has said this was the most humbling day of his life. But on the key | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
question of who know -- who knew what and when on the phone hacking | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
scandal, at Mr Murdoch denied he was responsible. For weeks, the | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
crisis has made the headlines, but has it changed public opinion about | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
the press, politicians and the police? Razia Iqbal has been | :24:16. | :24:24. | |
finding out. Drama at the heart of two of the | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
country's major institutions, from Westminster to Scotland Yard. And | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
between the two, a street market, where we ask how the scandal has | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
changed people's opinions. First, the press. Where did they get the | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
stories from, if not from phone hacking, intercepting e-mails, even | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
looking through rubbish bins? I really think it is has been a long | :24:47. | :24:55. | |
time coming. From the media to the police. It is very, very sad. | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
Robert Peel invented the Metropolitan Police, and they | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
became the epitome of policing for the rest of the world. Now where | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
are they? In to concerns about wider corruption. The normal man in | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
the street would get the sack. Or be taken to court. It doesn't seem | :25:16. | :25:25. | |
as if anything happens to these people. Pay-off, Palethorpe, pay | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
off. There is no trust and no on a. Mr Murdoch, do you accept that | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
ultimately... Her the News Of The World... The midst of the loud | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
voices today, the whispers of widespread disillusion. | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
Let's get the final thought from Nick Robinson. We have had a drama, | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
controversy, but what have we learned overall today? Rupert | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
Murdoch has told us that although he is always seen as being in | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
charge of this hugely powerful company, that he simply didn't know | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
what was going on and he feels let them. And yet when the names were | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
put to him on the people who may have let him down, people who have | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
now that the company, people like Rebekah Brooks, he says it was not | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
then either -- left the company. We know he blames someone but we don't | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
know who, he will say the police are investigating. We also know he | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
says he met with Prime Minister has all the time and he wishes they | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
would leave him alone. I think they might just do that now. It has | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
started drizzling again now, let's get the weather. | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
A banking. Western areas may have A banking. Western areas may have | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
had a dry day, but in eastern parts, it has been particularly wet, | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
especially across parts of the south-east. Heavy downpours here | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
and across South East Scotland. Of greater concern, as we Simeon | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
across Lincolnshire and Yorkshire and into the north-east, some slow- | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
moving torrential storms to take us into the evening. The risk of some | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
minor flooding into the evening and overnight as the showers continued. | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
It is this sort of area where we are most concerned. The showers | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
will barely abate for one or two. The wet weather of a return to the | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
South West, but away from those areas, it will be a dry night, | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
temperatures of around 11-13. Not a desperately chilly start tomorrow, | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
and the North of Scotland will brighten up with a lot -- one or | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
two showers. Into Northern Ireland, fine and bright, but north-east | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
England, thunderstorms at this stage of the day. Some sunshine | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
across other parts of northern England into East Anglia, but | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
generally cloudy air in Wales and the South West. Devon and Cornwall, | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
a wet start. The rate will continue, pushing across other southern | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
counties -- rain. Those slow-moving thunderstorms across northern | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
England in particular, but away from that, of varying amounts of | :28:02. | :28:08. | |
brightness. Quite a few will stay dry, temperatures 17-20. The | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
showers continued into Wednesday, even in to Thursday. But first they, | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
their heaviest showers will be sudden central part of limit and | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
South Wales -- first there. Friday and Saturday looks like the | :28:21. | :28:22. | |
emphasis continues to push towards emphasis continues to push towards | :28:22. | :28:29. | |
the drier weather. Thank you very much. A reminder of | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
tonight's main news. Under scrutiny by Parliament, Rupert and James | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks give evidence to MPs over the phone | :28:37. | :28:41. |
