:01:40. > :01:42.Good evening. The former editor of the News of the
:01:43. > :01:45.World Andy Coulson has been found guilty of plotting to hack phones.
:01:46. > :01:48.It follows an eight month-long trial which exposed the workings
:01:49. > :01:51.of what was Britain's biggest-selling newspaper, and to
:01:52. > :01:56.which Hollywood stars and former Cabinet ministers gave evidence.
:01:57. > :01:58.Mr Coulson, who went on to become the Prime Minister's official
:01:59. > :02:03.spokesman, was found guilty of conspiring to intercept voicemails.
:02:04. > :02:06.The former News International chief executive, Rebekah Brooks, who was
:02:07. > :02:12.also Coulson's former lover, was cleared of four charges including
:02:13. > :02:16.hacking voicemails and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
:02:17. > :02:18.One of the most high profile victims was the murdered school girl, Milly
:02:19. > :02:22.Dowler, whose mobile phone was hacked by the News of the World.
:02:23. > :02:25.The Prime Minister has said he took "full responsibility for employing
:02:26. > :02:27.Andy Coulson". David Cameron said he was
:02:28. > :02:31."extremely sorry", and admitted it was "the wrong decision".
:02:32. > :02:38.Our political editor, Nick Robinson, looks now at the verdicts.

:02:54. > :03:03.his fate. Andy Coulson has been found guilty. Found not guilty, his
:03:04. > :03:08.former boss and lover, Rebekah Brooks, who lots -- left court for a
:03:09. > :03:14.good along with her husband, PA and other senior staff from use of the
:03:15. > :03:19.World. All this after 130 dramatic days of evidence about the biggest
:03:20. > :03:23.media scandal in years. The scene of the crime, the long abandoned
:03:24. > :03:28.newsroom of what was once Britain's top-selling paper, the News of the
:03:29. > :03:34.World. The paper, long since closed, its home demolished after it was
:03:35. > :03:38.revealed what happened here - the systematic hacking of the phones of
:03:39. > :03:42.celebrities, politicians and those whose lives had already been
:03:43. > :03:46.blighted by terrible crimes. The couple who ran the paper, Andy
:03:47. > :03:50.Coulson and Rebekah Brooks, were indeed a couple - not just
:03:51. > :03:55.colleagues, but lovers. They would become two of the most powerful
:03:56. > :03:59.people in Britain. She, a regular visitor to Number Ten, a close
:04:00. > :04:05.friend of the man who became prime and Vista. He, hired on her advice
:04:06. > :04:08.to connect the Tories to the part of the electorate they struggled to
:04:09. > :04:11.reach. The man who usually stayed in the shadows has lost not just his
:04:12. > :04:14.careers and reputation, the shadows has lost not just his
:04:15. > :04:19.careers and but his liberty as well. Today he has forced the Prime
:04:20. > :04:24.Minister into making a humiliating apology. I asked him whether he knew
:04:25. > :04:28.about phone hacking and we accept that his assurances, and that was
:04:29. > :04:32.the basis on which I employed him. I was clear I was giving someone a
:04:33. > :04:37.second chance. He had resigned from the News of the World because of
:04:38. > :04:41.what happened there. I accepted his assurances and gave him a job. It
:04:42. > :04:44.was a second chance and it turns out to be a bad decision and I am
:04:45. > :04:50.extremely sorry about that. Phone hacking was easy backs to a basic
:04:51. > :04:54.security weakness or many mobile phones. To hear on a -- a voice mail
:04:55. > :05:02.or you need is a four digit pin code and often it is a default setting or
:05:03. > :05:06.possible to guess, or possible to purchase. With the right digit
:05:07. > :05:11.Private messages suddenly become public will stop film stars, sports
:05:12. > :05:15.stars, police officers, politicians, rival journalists - the
:05:16. > :05:20.News of the World hacked into the private affairs of anyone who might
:05:21. > :05:24.provide a story. Most shockingly, perhaps, the mobile phone of the
:05:25. > :05:28.murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler was hacked. She was not the only murder
:05:29. > :05:37.victim to have her phone messages intercepted. We now know that a
:05:38. > :05:43.woman who was shot dead had her messages hacked in the hours after
:05:44. > :05:47.her killing. Did they know we were doing that on that day? It felt like
:05:48. > :05:52.such an intrusion into a really private grief moment. The jury
:05:53. > :05:57.decided today that Andy Coulson didn't just know about, but
:05:58. > :06:01.sanctioned the hacking. Amongst the evidence that pointed to his guilt
:06:02. > :06:07.was as e-mail concerning the reality TV star Calum Best, in which Colson
:06:08. > :06:14.was as e-mail concerning the reality seen as a huge cat when he was first
:06:15. > :06:20.hired by the Tories. The former tabloid editor and I am an with
:06:21. > :06:23.connections to Rupert Murdoch, he quit when phone hacking
:06:24. > :06:25.connections to Rupert Murdoch, he revealed at the News
:06:26. > :06:25.connections to Rupert Murdoch, he but that, we were told,
:06:26. > :06:31.connections to Rupert Murdoch, he and all in the past. Wasn't it? Do
:06:32. > :06:35.connections to Rupert Murdoch, he you have any regrets? When he walked
:06:36. > :06:38.out of his job at Number Ten he insisted he knew nothing. Labour
:06:39. > :06:43.said the Prime Minister ignored every flashing light. We now know he
:06:44. > :06:49.brought a criminal into the heart of Downing Street. David Cameron was
:06:50. > :06:53.warned about Andy Coulson. The evidence mounted against Andy
:06:54. > :06:54.Coulson. David Cameron must have had his suspicions about Andy Coulson.
:06:55. > :06:58.And yet, he refused to act. his suspicions about Andy Coulson.
:06:59. > :07:04.And yet, he refused to Tonight, a man who helped get his boss into
:07:05. > :07:08.Number Ten faces the prospect of a life in prison why is the Prime
:07:09. > :07:16.Minister is left making his plea in the Court of the public opinion.
:07:17. > :07:22.Apologies for the flashing images on that report.
:07:23. > :07:25.looks now at the verdicts. The victims of phone hacking are
:07:26. > :07:28.thought to run into their thousands. Among them was the former
:07:29. > :07:30.Home Secretary, David Blunkett. In an exclusive interview he spoke
:07:31. > :07:34.to our Home Editor, Mark Easton about the devastating
:07:35. > :07:39.impact it had on his life. I can only put it this way -
:07:40. > :07:40.I came as close as anyone could ever come to having a breakdown without
:07:41. > :07:43.actually having one. At his Sheffield constituency
:07:44. > :07:45.office, David Blunkett has spoken for the first time
:07:46. > :07:48.about what he calls the terrible hurt phone hacking inflicted on him,
:07:49. > :07:52.his family and his friends. The honest truth is, I don't know
:07:53. > :07:55.how I managed to continue doing the job in the way I did.
:07:56. > :07:59.I actually think it probably took me two years to really recover.
:08:00. > :08:01.The News of the World illegally intercepted hundreds of private
:08:02. > :08:04.messages Mr Blunkett had left on phones belonging to close friends,
:08:05. > :08:11.intimate voice mails that revealed an affair and would ultimately
:08:12. > :08:14.destroy his Cabinet career. It was devastating in terms
:08:15. > :08:17.of my life's work. I had given everything to become
:08:18. > :08:20.in a position to make a difference to people's lives, to be a Cabinet
:08:21. > :08:24.member, to be able to carry out the things I wanted to do.
:08:25. > :08:29.I can't believe now how I managed to cope.
:08:30. > :08:31.David Blunkett had defied blindness, family tragedy and poverty to
:08:32. > :08:38.become a key figure in Tony Blair's New Labour government.
:08:39. > :08:42.Then, in 2004, a few days ahead of the News of the World revelations,
:08:43. > :08:48.the paper's editor, Andy Coulson, travelled to Sheffield to confront
:08:49. > :08:52.the Home Secretary about his affair. I put a tape recorder on the table.
:08:53. > :09:15.I said, I'm going to record this because it's so crucial.
:09:16. > :09:19.Listening to that conversation, it was clear that you were really
:09:20. > :09:24.bewildered as to how Andy Coulson could possibly be so sure
:09:25. > :09:27.about the affair. You start to suspect that someone
:09:28. > :09:33.has, to put it in the pejorative, betrayed you.
:09:34. > :09:35.They believe you might have done it. It sours relationships to
:09:36. > :09:44.a terrible degree, which then comes back as a consequence later,
:09:45. > :09:46.as it did in my case. The scandal wounded the
:09:47. > :09:51.Home Secretary so severely, he was forced to resign.
:09:52. > :09:53.Less than a year later he left government for a second time.
:09:54. > :09:56.Although unconnected, once again phone hacking by News
:09:57. > :10:02.of the World was a feature of a media storm that finally
:10:03. > :10:07.destroyed his Cabinet career. The hyenas of the press, he said,
:10:08. > :10:09.had finished him off. I call them hyenas
:10:10. > :10:13.because it was quite clear that the pack were after me.
:10:14. > :10:16.People have said to me, why aren't you bitter?
:10:17. > :10:21.And the reason is, you can't send bitterness like an e-mail.
:10:22. > :10:24.It erodes you from the inside. The former Home Secretary says
:10:25. > :10:26.the law should be changed to protect victims like him
:10:27. > :10:32.and those close to him from having to face a repeat of the
:10:33. > :10:35.original intrusion in open court. Privacy has been breached
:10:36. > :10:38.for a second time. Double victim?
:10:39. > :10:45.Double victim and in the end, the only consolation we all have is
:10:46. > :10:46.that justice has been done. David Blunkett, the former Home
:10:47. > :10:58.Secretary, talking to Mark Easton. What more do we know about how
:10:59. > :11:03.journalists at News of the World hacked into the phones of other
:11:04. > :11:12.people and how deeply ingrained was a? Our home affairs correspondent
:11:13. > :11:16.now reports. This used to be a powerhouse of tabloid journalism.
:11:17. > :11:20.But this place, once the News of the World's newsroom, was where the
:11:21. > :11:22.phone hacking conspiracy grew into a national scandal driven by the
:11:23. > :11:28.pressure to break sensational stories. The News of the World
:11:29. > :11:33.contract it at the hacking to Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator.
:11:34. > :11:39.They played him -- paid him hundreds of thousands of pounds. In 2006,
:11:40. > :11:43.police raided this office in South London and inside, they found a
:11:44. > :11:48.massive haul of evidence indicating phone hacking on an industrial
:11:49. > :11:52.scale. This is the former office of Glenn Mulcaire. He was very
:11:53. > :12:01.organised. He set out a strategy on whiteboards. Welcome to go to
:12:02. > :12:07.network services, Helensburgh in, tan -- can I take your name? He had
:12:08. > :12:18.a special trick when targets change their number. I need to do a voice
:12:19. > :12:25.mail reset. He is calling a voice mail -- phone network employee to
:12:26. > :12:29.reset a voice mail pin number. Bethany Usher was a young News of
:12:30. > :12:34.the World reporter who was often asked to hand over the numbers of
:12:35. > :12:38.those she had interviewed. I was not in a position to question what they
:12:39. > :12:42.were asking. I would never say, why do you want this number? I would
:12:43. > :12:47.just give it to them will stop do you suspect it might have been to
:12:48. > :12:53.use it for phone hacking? With hindsight, yes. That makes me angry.
:12:54. > :12:56.There were people who had an interview with me because they
:12:57. > :13:01.trusted in me and the idea that they would have hacked their phone is
:13:02. > :13:05.sickening. Having access to the voice mail secrets of the stars only
:13:06. > :13:09.helps the paper so much. Journalists could never admit how they got the
:13:10. > :13:13.information but it helped to prove stories were true. Former reporter
:13:14. > :13:18.Matt Driscoll did not see evidence of hacking but says accuracy was
:13:19. > :13:21.surprisingly important. It is a big myth that tabloids were reckless
:13:22. > :13:26.with the information for their story. The News of the World was all
:13:27. > :13:32.about making sure that in a few months time that it was not denied
:13:33. > :13:36.and also that there was not a legal letter that was going to cost the
:13:37. > :13:40.paper a lot of money. Andy Coulson's was not the only
:13:41. > :13:46.conviction. Dan Evans admitted hacking phones. James weather up and
:13:47. > :13:57.Neville fell back all pleaded guilty as well. So much for those thinking
:13:58. > :14:02.that Clive Goodman was the rogue reporter. An editor who unwittingly
:14:03. > :14:09.agreed payments was acquitted today and thanked his lawyers. Most
:14:10. > :14:14.remarkable and it is to them I owe a huge and injuring thanks for the
:14:15. > :14:20.result, the unanimous verdict, of the jury today. Thank you. Rebekah
:14:21. > :14:23.Brooks may have been cleared but more journalists face trial next
:14:24. > :14:25.year as the multi-million pound police
:14:26. > :14:27.year as the multi-million pound investigation into the dark arts of
:14:28. > :14:33.the tabloids continues. Secretary, talking to Mark Easton.
:14:34. > :14:37.Our Political Editor Nick Robinson is in Westminster for us now, Nick.
:14:38. > :14:44.Where does this leave David Cameron tonight?
:14:45. > :14:48.The Prime Minister has said sorry but in many ways has blamed Andy
:14:49. > :14:53.Coulson from what went wrong. That, I think, will not do for many of his
:14:54. > :14:57.critics, not just his political opponents, but others as well. They
:14:58. > :15:02.will say that he had plenty of warnings, as we heard the Labour
:15:03. > :15:06.leader say in my report. In other words, warnings not just from the
:15:07. > :15:10.Labour Party but also his coalition allies, the Liberal Democrats,
:15:11. > :15:13.warnings from his close colleagues in the Conservative Party, warnings
:15:14. > :15:19.from the newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic who began to expose
:15:20. > :15:22.what really happened at News of the World. It is worth remembering that
:15:23. > :15:28.you will not hear a full-blooded debate about what should and should
:15:29. > :15:33.not have happened until the legal process is over and it is not
:15:34. > :15:39.tonight. The judge has sent the jury home because we have yet to have
:15:40. > :15:45.verdict on two crucial accusations, with the suggestion that a royal
:15:46. > :15:48.phonebook was purchased. Andy Coulson left court this evening
:15:49. > :15:55.still not knowing what will be his fate, still not knowing the sentence
:15:56. > :15:59.that awaits him. When it is over and when this becomes a matter of
:16:00. > :16:06.politics, David Cameron will know, I think, that sorry may be a hard word
:16:07. > :16:12.to utter but in this case, it may not be enough.
:16:13. > :16:17.Our top story: Andy Coulson, the former editor
:16:18. > :16:20.of the News of the World, is guilty of conspiring to hack phones.
:16:21. > :16:26.His former colleague, Rebekah Brooks, was cleared of all charges.

:16:37. > :16:53.In Iraq, Sunni insurgents, led by the group ISIS,
:16:54. > :16:58.have continued their advance, as stark new figures today highlight
:16:59. > :17:01.the human cost of the fighting. According to the UN, more than 1,000
:17:02. > :17:05.people - mostly civilians - have been killed in the country
:17:06. > :17:07.in the last two weeks. The rebels say they've now captured

:17:16. > :17:19.to the northern city of Erbil. He called for unity in the region

:17:54. > :17:55.and from the frontline. They very rarely talk to Western
:17:56. > :17:57.media. But these insurgents are confident.
:17:58. > :18:00."Baghdad will soon fall", they told me.
:18:01. > :18:02."Baghdad will soon fall", It is a matter of time.
:18:03. > :18:07.Less than one month. Now they are asking young Shia
:18:08. > :18:09.to fight against us, but we will be there very soon and Baghdad
:18:10. > :18:18.will fall under the revolution. And they say that

:18:21. > :18:22.TRANSLATION: Sharia law says
:18:23. > :18:27.the killer must be killed. We will follow the law.
:18:28. > :18:29.The fighters are from Sunni tribes, spurred to radicalism
:18:30. > :18:35.by a government crackdown in their home town of Fallujah.
:18:36. > :18:38.One reason they may have decided to talk to us, is a growing resentment
:18:39. > :18:45.of ISIS and its foreign fighters, a feeling that the Sunni revolution
:18:46. > :18:47.has been taken over. TRANSLATION:
:18:48. > :18:50.I want to say to America and the world that this is not

:19:01. > :19:02.We are not terrorists. The Iraqi army is still striking
:19:03. > :19:05.at insurgents but is demoralised and weak.
:19:06. > :19:09.Latest reports suggest the country's biggest oil refinery

:19:26. > :19:31.anything that the United States or other allies or friends with troops

:19:40. > :19:43.It is a dream but only that, of what a peaceful Iraq might look like.
:19:44. > :19:48.Iraq is a complex catastrophe and the idea that there will be one
:19:49. > :19:57.outright winner who can control the whole country is a fallascy.
:19:58. > :20:05.-- fallacy. What we've heard from the Sunni

:20:09. > :20:12.So even if the insurgents do win, it could merely be the first phase
:20:13. > :20:16.in a much longer war. Let's have a look at some of the
:20:17. > :20:18.other stories making the news today. Reports from Sudan say a Christian

:21:59. > :22:01.visits to Northern Ireland have been sombre affairs,
:22:02. > :22:04.devoid in much of the way of hope. Today, though, was different.

:23:22. > :23:25.far from what was once the strongly republican area of the Short Strand.
:23:26. > :23:28.For so many years, a visit such as this would have been unthinkable.
:23:29. > :23:33.At Belfast's City Hall the Queen paid tribute to those who'd worked

:23:50. > :23:56.always remember that the thoughts and prayers of millions,

:24:04. > :24:07.change during her reign, and not all of it for the better, this has been

:25:03. > :25:09.correspondent, Dan Roan, reports. # We're going home #
:25:10. > :25:13.Some trying to look on the bright side but having followed their team
:25:14. > :25:16.to the bitter end this wasn't the party they envisaged, journeying
:25:17. > :25:21.half way around the world for a match reduced to the meaningless
:25:22. > :25:26.friendly. We only got tickets for this game. I quit my job. You quit
:25:27. > :25:32.your job? Yes, to come here. I got tickets. I was excited. I will not
:25:33. > :25:37.let it ruin it. I made the effort. I wish the team had done the same. I
:25:38. > :25:41.the spent so much money and time. We came out here but what place no,
:25:42. > :25:45.better place than Brazil to get knocked out. England made radical
:25:46. > :25:51.changes to the team. But one of the two who kept his place, Daniel
:25:52. > :25:56.Sturridge, came closest early on. Unlike their more vaunted opponents,
:25:57. > :26:01.Costa Rica have shown just what's possible here, qualifying for the
:26:02. > :26:05.second round. Now a reminder of way. Ben Foster was forced into action.
:26:06. > :26:09.England claimed to have no luck in Brazil. Perhaps they are right.
:26:10. > :26:14.Sturridge unfortunate not to earn a penalty but in truth, by now, even
:26:15. > :26:19.they found it hard to care. Well the names on the shirts may have changed
:26:20. > :26:23.for England but it is still the same old story. No goals, 0-0. Still 25
:26:24. > :26:29.minutes inside the second half against Costa Rica in what is a very
:26:30. > :26:34.poor match as England such desperate for a mod come of salvage, pride.
:26:35. > :26:38.After this match they fly directly home and in truth, the end of their
:26:39. > :26:46.World Cup can't come soon enough. Time for a look at the weather.
:26:47. > :26:48.It is lovely there in Brazil. Nice weather to end the day in the UK.
:26:49. > :26:51.However there weather to end the day in the UK.
:26:52. > :26:55.around, just like yesterday and even one or two thunderstorms. Just in a
:26:56. > :26:59.few areas. As far as tomorrow goes, hazy sunshine and I think right
:27:00. > :27:01.across the country it is going to be that little bit cooler. Now this the
:27:02. > :27:04.satellite picture from the that little bit cooler. Now this the
:27:05. > :27:10.hours. Again, just like yesterday, across this portion of the UK is
:27:11. > :27:14.where we had a few downpours. One or two rumbles of thunder but we will
:27:15. > :27:16.say goodbye to them through the evening hours.
:27:17. > :27:19.say goodbye to them through the clouds will thicken through the
:27:20. > :27:20.course of the night. By the early hours of Wednesday morning, there
:27:21. > :27:24.will be light hours of Wednesday morning, there
:27:25. > :27:29.Belfast and also Glasgow but for most, a dry night. Tomorrow, it
:27:30. > :27:30.starts off on a bright note for many areas. The cloud will increase
:27:31. > :27:34.starts off on a bright note for many little bit. But overall it should be
:27:35. > :27:41.a fine day across most of England with temperatures hovering in the
:27:42. > :27:44.mid-to high teens, possibly 21 in London but fresher in the north-west
:27:45. > :27:47.with a few spots of rain for Northern Ireland and western
:27:48. > :27:51.Scotland in particular. For the play at Wimbledon tomorrow, overall not a
:27:52. > :27:57.bad day with hazy sunshine and around about 20.
:27:58. > :28:04.For Thursday, Glastonbury-glrs will want to know about the weather -- --
:28:05. > :28:07.Glastonbury-goers. It looks like rain on Thursday and

:28:17. > :28:20.And, finally on Friday, this is where the rain will be, across son
:28:21. > :28:23.parts of the country. You can see an increasing breeze. That's basically
:28:24. > :28:26.the start of what is going to be quite an unsettled weekend, just
:28:27. > :28:31.after all of this fine, bright warm weather we have been having.
:28:32. > :28:34.Inevitable, I suppose. That's all from the News at Six. Goodbye from
