:01:45. > :01:49.one or two employees at the paper shielded senior executives from the
:01:49. > :01:53.facts. And tonight it's emerged that the phone-hacking scandal
:01:53. > :01:59.could affect Mr Murdoch's stake in BSkyB, Britain's most profitable
:01:59. > :02:02.broadcaster. More on that in a moment. First, Nick Witchell on
:02:02. > :02:07.Rupert Murdoch's surprise evidence at the Leveson Inquiry.
:02:07. > :02:12.He is the media mogul whose firm control of his empire has yielded
:02:12. > :02:16.decades of success. Returning today with his wife to testify about a
:02:16. > :02:21.lack of proper control and what he admitted was a haunting, personal
:02:21. > :02:24.failure. Phone hacking at the News of the World is what started all of
:02:25. > :02:29.this. According to Rupert Murdoch, senior executives had not known
:02:29. > :02:39.what was happening at the News of the World and this was the reason.
:02:39. > :02:39.
:02:39. > :02:46.There is no question in my mind that maybe even the editor, but
:02:46. > :02:54.certainly beyond that, someone took charge of a cover-up which we were
:02:54. > :02:58.victim to and I regret. From where did this cover-up emanate, Mr
:02:58. > :03:02.Murdoch? I think from within the News of the World. Mr Murdoch
:03:02. > :03:06.hinted at who he believed was behind the cover-up, one or two
:03:06. > :03:09.very strong characters, as he put it. But counsel wanted to know
:03:09. > :03:18.whether the company had deliberately turned a blind eye to
:03:18. > :03:25.it all. Some might say all this picture is consistent with one of a
:03:25. > :03:31.desire to cover-up rather than a desire to expose. Perhaps. I have
:03:31. > :03:41.to take that back. Excuse me. that flash of anger, Rupert Murdoch
:03:41. > :03:44.
:03:44. > :03:49.became contrite. I also had to say that I failed. I have to apologise
:03:49. > :03:53.to a lot of people including all the innocent people who lost their
:03:53. > :03:56.jobs. Yet with hindsight, Mr Murdoch said he wished he had
:03:56. > :04:01.closed the News of the World sooner, but perhaps his greatest regret was
:04:01. > :04:05.that he hadn't spoken personally to the News of the World reporter,
:04:05. > :04:09.Clive Goodman. Mr Goodman was the one journalist who was prosecuted
:04:09. > :04:14.for phone hacking. After he left prison, he wrote to News
:04:14. > :04:19.International alleging others had been involved. If I had really got
:04:19. > :04:29.into it, when Mr Goodman wrote that letter, I should have thrown all
:04:29. > :04:33.
:04:34. > :04:40.the damn lawyers out of the place and cross-examined him myself and
:04:40. > :04:43.made up my mind, maybe rightly, maybe wrongly, was he telling the
:04:43. > :04:48.truth? If I had come to the conclusion he was telling the truth,
:04:48. > :04:52.I would have torn the place apart and we wouldn't be here today.
:04:52. > :04:57.it is, Mr Murdoch has had to clear up the mess. It has caused great
:04:57. > :05:02.pain and cost hundreds of millions of pounds, he said. He was glad
:05:02. > :05:05.they had done it. Shortly before he finished his evidence and left the
:05:05. > :05:14.Royal Courts of Justice, Rupert Murdoch said he realised the whole
:05:14. > :05:18.episode would be a blot on his reputation for the rest of his life.
:05:18. > :05:21.Tonight, the News of the World's former legal manager has denied any
:05:21. > :05:26.suggestion that he was involved in the cover-up over hacking at the
:05:26. > :05:31.paper. He issued a statement claiming it was a shameful lie. Our
:05:31. > :05:38.business editor is here with me. This is pretty hard-hitting
:05:38. > :05:42.reaction from Tom Crone? Yes, another extraordinary day in the
:05:42. > :05:46.hacking saga. Rupert Murdoch in saying there was a cover-up of the
:05:46. > :05:48.hacking at the News of the World was saying not only was the
:05:48. > :05:52.relevant information kept from the wider world and the police, it was
:05:52. > :05:57.kept from him. He didn't name the person he thought was intimately
:05:57. > :06:01.involved in conducting the cover-up, but he described him as a clever
:06:01. > :06:04.lawyer and a drinking pal of the journalist at the News of the World.
:06:04. > :06:10.For anybody who has been following the case, that was pointing the
:06:10. > :06:16.finger at Tom crone. Tom Crone has come out tonight saying he
:06:16. > :06:21.completely disputes what the implicit allegation against him
:06:21. > :06:25.from Rupert Murdoch. In fact, he described it as a shameful lie. So
:06:25. > :06:29.this dispute about who knew not what and when goes on. Tonight,
:06:29. > :06:34.Robert, a suggestion that the spotlight may be shifting towards
:06:34. > :06:38.BSkyB? Yes. The other really dramatic development is that we
:06:38. > :06:43.have learnt that Ofcom, the media regulator, has asked for more
:06:43. > :06:47.information about hacking at the News of the World in connection
:06:47. > :06:50.with a completely separate inquiry into whether British Sky
:06:50. > :06:55.Broadcasting is fit and proper to hold a broadcasting licence. The
:06:55. > :07:02.reason the two are connected is because News Corporation owns 39%
:07:02. > :07:06.of British Sky Broadcasting. If Ofcom took the view that in some
:07:06. > :07:09.senses News Corporation wasn't fit and proper, that would have massive
:07:09. > :07:13.implications for BSkyB and there is a risk that Rupert Murdoch will be
:07:13. > :07:19.forced to do something he will hate to do which is sell a very
:07:19. > :07:22.significant chunk of his BSkyB shares. All right, thank you.
:07:22. > :07:26.The Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, is facing continuing calls to
:07:26. > :07:29.resign over his handling of News Corporation's bid to take over
:07:29. > :07:35.BSkyB. Today, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said there were
:07:35. > :07:41.no plans to ask for an independent investigation into whether he broke
:07:41. > :07:46.the Ministerial Code. Jeremy Hunt is running and for now
:07:46. > :07:51.he's not hiding. Today, he and his officials were still facing
:07:51. > :07:53.questions over their links with Rupert Murdoch's company. Was the
:07:53. > :07:58.relationship between Mr Hunt's Special Adviser and News
:07:58. > :08:02.Corporation official? Today, before MPs, his top civil servant refused
:08:02. > :08:04.to say. Did you know that Adam Smith was acting in the channel of
:08:04. > :08:07.communication between the department and the Murdoch empire?
:08:07. > :08:16.There was a statement by the Special Adviser yesterday which
:08:16. > :08:26.made it clear he accepted that the contact content of those contacts
:08:26. > :08:26.
:08:26. > :08:30.was not authorised by the Secretary of State, or by me. How much did Mr
:08:30. > :08:33.Hunt know? His Cabinet colleagues said people should not rush to
:08:33. > :08:38.judgment. Jeremy Hunt has explained his position in Parliament. He
:08:38. > :08:41.explained he wanted to provide more information to the Leveson Inquiry.
:08:41. > :08:45.That hasn't happened yet. People should wait to see what he has to
:08:45. > :08:48.say at the Leveson Inquiry. Downing Street is resisting calls for Mr
:08:48. > :08:51.Hunt to face a special investigation into whether or not
:08:51. > :08:55.he broke the Ministerial Code of Conduct. Mr Cameron believes he has
:08:55. > :08:59.done nothing wrong. Labour say there are still big questions over
:08:59. > :09:02.just what he and his top official really knew. We need to know
:09:02. > :09:06.whether he authorised it, what those conditions were, whether
:09:06. > :09:10.Jeremy Hunt was aware of them and communicated them to his Special
:09:10. > :09:14.Adviser and we don't know what the contact was between Jeremy Hunt and
:09:14. > :09:18.his Special Adviser. Questions that won't find answers until Mr Hunt
:09:18. > :09:22.and his former adviser appear before Leveson. Mr Hunt's top
:09:22. > :09:27.official said he knew about and was content with his Special Adviser
:09:28. > :09:31.being in contact with News Corporation but not how far it went.
:09:31. > :09:35.Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond, has been criticised in the
:09:35. > :09:38.Scottish Parliament over his relationship with Rupert Murdoch's
:09:38. > :09:42.News Corporation. Evidence released earlier this week to the Leveson
:09:42. > :09:46.Inquiry suggested that Mr Salmond was ready to support News Corp even
:09:46. > :09:50.after it was revealed that the News of the World had hacked into the
:09:50. > :09:56.phone of the murdered schoolgirl, Milly Dowler. The Scottish Labour
:09:56. > :10:00.Leader condemned Mr Salmond's pir Sis tent in courting Mr Murdoch --
:10:00. > :10:04.persistent in courting Mr Murdoch. The First Minister became the only
:10:04. > :10:12.senior politician in this country, perhaps the only one in the world,
:10:12. > :10:16.to invite him round for tea. Hypocrisy - the job of a First
:10:16. > :10:20.Minister is to advocate jobs for Scotland. This First Minister will
:10:20. > :10:25.continue to do it. Our Scotland Correspondent, James Cook, is in
:10:25. > :10:29.Holyrood. Heated exchanges there, James. How damaging is this for
:10:29. > :10:32.Alex Salmond? Well, it is certainly dominating debate here at the
:10:32. > :10:35.Scottish Parliament and it dominated First Minister's
:10:35. > :10:40.Questions today. At the heart of the allegation against Alex Salmond
:10:40. > :10:43.is the suggestion that he has been seduced by power in return for the
:10:43. > :10:46.favourable treatment of the Murdoch press, treatment that has indeed
:10:46. > :10:50.been favourable to the Scottish National Party in recent years. But
:10:50. > :10:55.on the flipside of that, well, there was no killer blow landed
:10:55. > :10:59.today, no killer new fact revealed against Mr Salmond during First
:10:59. > :11:04.Minister's Question Time. It is fair to say that Nationalists will
:11:04. > :11:09.be watching and hoping that there are no more further embarrassing
:11:09. > :11:13.relations from the Leveson Inquiry. For now, he is surviving. Thank you.
:11:13. > :11:17.An eyewitness to the death of Mark Duggan has given the BBC footage of
:11:17. > :11:22.the immediate aftermath of his shooting by police last August.
:11:22. > :11:25.Mark Duggan's death sparked last summer's riots in England. The
:11:25. > :11:33.Independent Police Complaints Commission is conducting an inquiry
:11:33. > :11:37.into his death but has not so far heard from this key witness.
:11:37. > :11:41.It's now nearly nine months since Mark Duggan was shot dead by the
:11:41. > :11:46.police on an early summer evening. He was killed near his home in
:11:46. > :11:53.Tottenham in North London. His death led to a protest which
:11:53. > :11:57.descrended into a riot which -- descended into a riot. This
:11:57. > :12:01.exclusive footage obtained by the BBC was filmed by a member of the
:12:02. > :12:06.public who said he saw the shooting. At that point, he wasn't filming.
:12:06. > :12:11.Nevertheless, he's a key witness. He wants to remain anonymous. The
:12:11. > :12:16.footage begins a short time after the police opened fire in Ferry
:12:16. > :12:22.Lane in Tottenham. An Air Ambulance arrives but Mark Duggan is beyond
:12:22. > :12:27.medical help. On the ground, surrounded by paramedics, he has
:12:27. > :12:32.been hit by two police bullets - one in the chest and one in the arm.
:12:32. > :12:36.Close by, officers from Scotland Yard's specialist firearms unit,
:12:36. > :12:42.CO19. It's a CO19 officer who fired the fatal shot. They were working
:12:42. > :12:47.with officers from Trident. All this being captured by the witness
:12:47. > :12:52.and during part of the filming he talks about what he saw. We've
:12:52. > :12:59.heard this and had his comments analysed by an independent expert.
:12:59. > :13:04.His words are spoken by an actor. He jumped out and then he's taken
:13:04. > :13:08.out. I heard him shout at him, yeah. Put it down, put it down. Mark
:13:08. > :13:12.Duggan was a passenger in a taxi, that is the grey people carrier,
:13:12. > :13:18.which was blocked in by the police. They had been trailing him for some
:13:18. > :13:22.time and he had sent a message from his Blackberry saying, "The Feds
:13:22. > :13:25.are following me." The police then form a hard stop. As Mark Duggan
:13:25. > :13:30.lies dead on the pavement, you can see that officers are standing on
:13:30. > :13:39.the other side of the fence. One firearms officer in a white T-shirt
:13:40. > :13:45.goes round and bends down towards the ground. The weapon didn't have
:13:45. > :13:48.any of Mark Duggan's DNA or fingerprints on it. His shooting is
:13:48. > :13:52.being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints
:13:52. > :13:56.Commission. The IPCC has expressed frustration that it can't compel
:13:56. > :13:59.the 31 officers who were there when Mark Duggan was shot to be
:13:59. > :14:07.interviewed. They have given written statements. The IPCC report
:14:07. > :14:10.into the shooting is due to be completed later this year.
:14:10. > :14:15.The former Liberian leader Charles Taylor has been found guilty by a
:14:15. > :14:19.special court in The Hague of aiding and abetting war crimes in
:14:19. > :14:25.Sierra Leone. More than 50,000 people died during the country's
:14:25. > :14:32.civil war in the 1990s. He was accused of arming rebels in Sierra
:14:32. > :14:41.Leone for ""blood diamonds"". He will be sentenced next month. Our
:14:41. > :14:45.Special Correspondent, Allan Little, reports from The Hague.
:14:45. > :14:49.It has been a landmark day in international justice. Charles
:14:49. > :14:57.Taylor came to court knowing that he might well go to prison for the
:14:57. > :15:01.rest of his life. Taylor was President of Liberia. He is charged
:15:02. > :15:05.with waging war in Sierra Leone. No-one disputes rebel forces
:15:06. > :15:11.committed terrible atrocities there. The charge sheet includes murder,
:15:11. > :15:15.rape and the recruitment of child soldiers. Civilian populations were
:15:15. > :15:21.terrorised. Many had their limbs hacked off. The question before the
:15:21. > :15:25.court was did Charles Taylor order those crimes? There is insufficient
:15:25. > :15:29.to find beyond a reasonable doubt... Taylor was cleared of directly
:15:29. > :15:33.ordering the atrocities. The judges asked him to stand to hear that he
:15:33. > :15:41.was guilty of aiding and abetting all 11 crimes listed in the
:15:41. > :15:45.indictment. Unanimously find you guilty... The judges said rebel
:15:45. > :15:48.forces had supplied Taylor with diamonds from Sierra Leone's mines.
:15:48. > :15:58.In return, he had given them arms and ammunition in the full

:16:07. > :16:11.knowledge they would commit crimes In 2010 the model Niamo, Campbell
:16:11. > :16:17.was called as a witness. When the indictment was issued ten years ago
:16:17. > :16:22.he said he should be immune from prosecution. Prosecutors see the
:16:22. > :16:26.judgment as a great step forward in their fight against the immunity
:16:26. > :16:29.that heads of state often enjoyed. It's a very important case for the
:16:29. > :16:33.people of Sierra Leone, who demanded this court be created so
:16:33. > :16:39.they could have some measure of justice. It's a very important day
:16:39. > :16:44.for the victims, who now have some measure of justice for their

:22:04. > :22:09.SNP and their opponents, the Labour Party. That battle comes to a head
:22:09. > :22:17.right here in Scotland's largest city, Glasgow.
:22:17. > :22:23.That has meant political turmoil. Labour has run Glasgow for decades.
:22:23. > :22:27.The drive to modernise resulted in conflict. Now they face an external
:22:27. > :22:32.enemy, the buoyant SNP. They have said in this city, that their task
:22:32. > :22:38.is to make this a stepping stone to independence. What we saying is the
:22:38. > :22:43.big debate is how do we protect people's jobs, how do we protect
:22:43. > :22:48.our services? Nationalists insist this is not about independence but
:22:48. > :22:51.competence. Labour has treated Glasgow, ruling it in their
:22:52. > :22:56.interests rather than the interests of the city of Glasgow. It is time
:22:57. > :23:01.for a change. That is what the SNP offers.
:23:02. > :23:06.The Tories share power in 11 Scottish councils. They are keen to
:23:06. > :23:10.outrank their UK coalition partners. We have been the fourth party of
:23:10. > :23:16.Government in Scotland since 1992. We expect to be the third and we
:23:16. > :23:23.will increase our vote share as well. The Liberal Democrats argue
:23:23. > :23:28.the backlash has finished. We value, people stand up for their
:23:28. > :23:34.community sort out the potholes and the lighting. That is what people
:23:34. > :23:39.want. Back in Glasgow, the race for votes intensifies. Ministers
:23:39. > :23:45.promise millions to upgrade the city's subway. Labour offers a new
:23:45. > :23:49.system to embrace buses and trains. Council spending curbs limit the
:23:49. > :23:53.scope for ambitious promises. Still these elections will re-shape
:23:53. > :24:00.Scottish council control and just possibly point us to a bigger
:24:00. > :24:03.choice - the independence referendum.
:24:03. > :24:07.Now, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are preparing to celebrate their
:24:07. > :24:17.first wedding anniversary this weekend. Today they met a team of
:24:17. > :24:22.
:24:22. > :24:28.soldiers who recreated race to The Duke and Duchess are expected
:24:28. > :24:32.to arrive here shortly for this function - their third official
:24:32. > :24:37.engagement in 24 hours. This morning, they made an unpublicised
:24:37. > :24:44.visit to MI6 before heading on to a reception, where they were seen
:24:44. > :24:49.looking rather broody over a baby. My report contains flash
:24:49. > :24:53.photography. There's was not a whirl wind romance, but it has been
:24:53. > :24:58.a first year of marriage. They are in huge demand. Today, they showed
:24:58. > :25:02.support for the teams of soldiers, who on behalf of the British Legion
:25:02. > :25:07.recreated Scott's historic race to the South Pole, raising funds for
:25:07. > :25:13.wounded servicemen. The same levels of courage and determination,
:25:13. > :25:19.demonstrated by our Antarctic heroes in 1912 and 2012 are shown
:25:19. > :25:24.each and every day by our wounded servicemen and women. Their courage
:25:24. > :25:30.and spirits humble me. One of those people is double amputee, Clive
:25:30. > :25:36.Smith, injured in Afghanistan. He has benefited from the charity's
:25:36. > :25:41.support. It is really hum belling that Prince will wram is looking
:25:41. > :25:47.out for the -- Prince William is looking out for the rest of the
:25:47. > :25:57.troops and to have him back this charity. It is a massive support.
:25:57. > :26:02.How very sweet. After the formalities all eyes were on
:26:02. > :26:09.Catherine. It was Prince William who caused the stir of those
:26:09. > :26:12.wishing to hear the pitter patter of tiny feet.
:26:12. > :26:17.After handing the baby back, it was just Catherine and William. They
:26:17. > :26:24.were all the crowd wanted to see any way.
:26:24. > :26:28.So, they will have had a couple of busy days. They will be retreating
:26:28. > :26:38.now to celebrate their first wedding anniversary on Sunday, out
:26:38. > :26:39.
:26:39. > :26:44.of the public gaze. Thank you. Now Another day, another set of
:26:44. > :26:48.downpours, particularly now over northern England. Some storms.
:26:48. > :26:52.Vicious storms over East Yorkshire. They are swirling around an area of
:26:52. > :26:56.low pressure. Drier and brighter across the
:26:56. > :27:05.south-east this evening. Still windy here, however. We will keep
:27:05. > :27:10.this zone of wet weth ore eer over -- wet weather.
:27:10. > :27:14.Further north it will turn quite cold. A touch of frost in rural
:27:14. > :27:19.areas. Cold enough for the showers which push south across Scotland to
:27:19. > :27:23.have snow mixed in. The central zone stays dull tomorrow. In the
:27:23. > :27:27.far south, we'll have another day where there'll be some sunny spells.
:27:27. > :27:31.There will be further heavy showers. These across southern counties of
:27:31. > :27:38.England could contain hail and thunder N the sunny spells we might
:27:38. > :27:41.reach 15 Celsius. The winds will be a touch lighter over the south-east.
:27:41. > :27:45.The far north of northern England may brighten up. There'll be sunny
:27:45. > :27:52.spells over Northern Ireland and Scotland. There will be bands of
:27:52. > :27:57.showers drifting south, as I said, with snow mixed in.
:27:57. > :28:01.Some brighter skies on Saturday. The showers will be fairly well
:28:01. > :28:05.scattered. Temperatures may reach 15-16 Celsius in the sunny spells.
