This is BBC World News Today with me Kirsty Lang. Pressure a News | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
International mounts following allegations that the News of the | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
world hacked into the form of a murdered schoolgirl. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
What I have read in the papers is quite shocking, that someone could | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
do this actually knowing that the police were trying to find this | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
person and trying to find out what had happened. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
The Dutch state is found responsible for the deaths of three | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Bosnian Muslims they handed over to Serbian forces just before the | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
Srebrenica massacre. The human tragedy of unimaginable | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
proportions - the UN's warning about the drought affecting 10 | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
million people in East Africa. And still mourning Salman Taseer - | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
murdered Pakistani politician and Governor of Punjab province. We | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
:01:04. | :01:15. | ||
speak to his son, the novelist Hello and welcome. The methods | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
employed by the British tabloid press to get scoops had been under | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
the spotlight ever since it was first revealed that reporters from | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
the News of the world had been hacking into celebrities phones. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
But this latest allegation that the phone of murdered schoolgirl Milly | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Dowler was also tapped into by a private detective working for the | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
paper has caused a political storm. David Cameron said if it is true, | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
it is a truly dreadful act. And the Ford car manufacturers have said | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
they are pulling all advertising from the paper. Our political | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
:01:49. | :01:50. | ||
correspondent reports. Four months this scandal has been growing as | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
more and more celebrities and politicians were informed their | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
phones have been hacked. Now, a much more serious allegation has | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
shocked the country. 13-year-old Milly Dowler went missing in 2002. | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
Her body was found six months later. The latest claim is that the News | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
of the World hacked into her phone where she was missing and that some | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
messages may even have been deleted in the process. David Cameron, who | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
is on a trip to Afghanistan, made his feelings clear. If they are | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
true, this is a truly dreadful act and a dreadful situation. If what I | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
have read in the papers is true, it is quite shocking that someone | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
could do this, actually knowing that the police were trying to find | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
this person and trying to find out what had happened. All this puts | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
more pressure on Rebekah Brooks. She is the chief executive of News | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
International in the UK. She was also the editor of the News of the | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
World when Malik -- Milly Dowler went missing. She and other | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
executives at the paper has always said she did not know about the | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
actions of a few rogue reporters. News International argues she is as | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
shocked as everyone else. They make it plain she does not intend to | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
resign. She has been clear today that is absolutely what she will | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
not do. This happened in 2002. She is now chief executive of a company | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
in 2011. She is determined to get to the bottom of the issue. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
political heat has been turned up on their empire of Rupert Murdoch. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
The House of Commons will debate the allegations on Wednesday. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
Opposition politicians say they want a full require a set up. They | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
also think Rebekah Brooks should go. The is was not just one individual. | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
It was a series of things which happened. What I want from News | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
International is for people to start taking responsibility. It is | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
not just News International which has difficult questions to answer. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
The police originally said phone hacking which used to target a | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
handful of celebrities. The latest claims prompt more uncomfortable | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
questions about whether a blind eye was turned by Scotland Yard. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
The British actor Hugh Grant who has himself been the victim of some | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
sensational stories in the News of the world has joined calls for a | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
full public inquiry into the British media. He said the phone | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
hacking issue now leads to questions about who we can trust in | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
society. The problem with this whole issue has been that we cannot | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
entirely trust the normal mechanisms to write a terrible | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
wrong in the centre of our society. We cannot entirely trust the police. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
There is a new team now at the police to replace the old one which | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
was clearly dragging their feet. To what extent they were in the pocket | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
of News International we do not know. Rebekah Brooks has admitted | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
that money often changed hands between News International and the | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
Metropolitan Police. We cannot rely on that government sadly because | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
successive administrations have needed the murder press so badly to | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
get re-elected. They had been terrified of the revenge of News | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
International, in terms of digging skeletons from their cupboards that | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
they have basically been their puppets. We think we live in a | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
democracy but really, our prime ministers are elected by Rupert | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Murdoch. It is a great wrong in this country and a public inquiry | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
seems to me to be the beginning to how we uncover just how corrupt | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
that whole cabal has been. Hugh Grant. | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
With me now it is a broadcaster and media analyst Steve Hewlett. | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
Picking up. Hugh Grant made about the political power wielded by News | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
International in this country, could we see that unravelling it | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
end his political storm? Maybe. It is an interesting question but | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
Rupert Murdoch own some begging newspapers in their UK. Famously, | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
it was said of elections that the sun won it but induce, what papers | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
and others have been smart hats, by my analysis, is following public | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
opinion. We did not need Rupert Murdoch to tell us that John Major | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
had run out of road and Tony Blair was the up and coming thing. Nor | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
that Gordon Brown had been finished either. You can overstate this | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
matter. In terms of the influence of the press, there are all sorts | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
of things conspiring to reduce that, not least the Internet. We heard | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
tonight that Ford, the car manufacturer, is pulling | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
advertising from News of the World. Presumably this will increase the | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
pressure on the top executive of News International? No question. It | :07:16. | :07:25. | |
represents that, we have known this practice has been going on on an | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
industrial steel by which I mean in that -- phone hacking. The Milly | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
Dowler story has seen this jump the wall. It is no longer Westminster | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
village, and celebrities, and media land. It is now out in the public | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
domain in a way which in packs on people more broadly. The | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
advertisers are understandably, starting to think that appearing in | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
the News of the World might make them not look the best in the face | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
of their customers. This is a significant shift. It moves from | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
the media fringes for the story to the mainstream. A change which will | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
add to pressure on Rebekah Brooks who is the chief executive of News | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
International but who was editor of News of the World at that time? | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
There are three aspects. Generally, if it was this widespread, it looks | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
like he was going on for years, certainly, for a good part of 2000 | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
and over a long period of time with a succession of editors. First, if | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
it is that widespread, it is implausible that the senior | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
management did not know about it. Secondly, it is hard to imagine | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
that the editor of the paper at the time would not have been aware of | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
the details. But even if you accept that both those counts mean that | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
they knew nothing, give them every piece of doubt going, they still | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
told us on a number of occasions they had inquired fully and found | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
nothing. They have denied that every stage that this went on. Then | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
they settled a very big civil action for at �800,000. They | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
settled it out of court after the discovery process would have | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
revealed to both sides some of what we now know was in the evidence | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
that the police had. When they settled back case, there were | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
people en News International at a senior level, who knew something | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
had gone on. So even if they did not know what was going on at the | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
time, they have been involved in something which I have to say looks | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
like,... Thank you very much. It is 16 years since the massacre | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
of nearly 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in the un administered enclave at | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
Srebrenica. Today a Dutch appeals court found that the Netherlands, | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
whose peacekeepers were guarding the UN declared safe zone, was | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
responsible for the death of three Muslim men. In what is a landmark | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
ruling - the court said Dutch troops should not have handed the | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
three men over to Bosnian Serb troops who later murdered them. Our | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
:10:22. | :10:23. | ||
world affairs correspondent Peter Biles reports. Srebrenica July 1995. | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
A so-called UN safe area but one that was overrun by Bosnian forces. | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
The Bosnian Muslims thought they had the protection of Dutch UN | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
peacekeepers. They were wrong. About 8,000 Muslim men and boys | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
were massacred by the Bosnian Serbs. Today in a surprise legal ruling, a | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
court in the Netherlands decided that the Dutch government bore some | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
responsibility. The presiding judge said the appeals court believe the | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Dutch state had acted illegally towards the three Bosnian Muslims | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
and would have to pay compensation. It has been a long painful legal | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
ordeal for the relatives of the victims. I am after the killers of | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
my family, the Serbs who lived in Bosnia. One of them works in the | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
same building that I work in, can you imagine that? I have to go to | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
my office every day to the same building and he is still there. | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Believe me, it is just one of the cases I had been dealing with for | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
the last 15 years. The families had filed the loss it's because the | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
three Bosnian men who were killed had been working for the Dutch | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
peacekeepers. The outcome of the case surprised even the lawyers. | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
did not consider this possible within the borders of the | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
Netherlands. I thought we had to go outside to an international | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
tribunal because we're all too much involved. It is too big and too | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
much about, in her estate. I thought the court would not be able | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
to disentangle themselves. -- our state. 16 years after the massacre, | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
this court ruling about the three men who were turned over to the | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Serbs could have implications for similar cases against the Dutch | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
state. David Cameron has made a direct | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
appeal to the Taleban, telling them to put down their weapons and | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
joined the political process but on the second day of his visit to | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
Afghanistan, four and 80 soldiers were killed and the question | :12:33. | :12:41. | |
remains, what will happen when the coalition forces finally draw down. | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
-- four NATO soldiers. British troops in Helmand province. | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
Dropping into area region the Taleban previously controlled. The | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
Taleban, wisely, were not there to meet them. So far the soldiers have | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
not run into any opposition. Usually when the insurgency NATO | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
coming in strength, they retreat but not always. One of the | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
villagers hopes things will improve without the insurgents around. The | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
Taleban still her foot, he says. I am very poor but if I protest, they | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
say I support NATO. Natal is successfully pushing the Taleban | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
out of places like this. In Helmand, that is because 10,000 British | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
troops are reinforced by 20,000 Americans. David Cameron said in | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
Kabul today that progress was good enough to withdraw more British | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
troops. He will make the announcement tomorrow. It will | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
probably be just a few hundred soldiers but by 2015, there will be | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
no British combat forces here at all. I think the British people | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
deserve a deadline because we have been in Helmand problems since 2006. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
We had been in Afghanistan since 2001. I believe the Afghan | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
government and people and Army deserve a deadline so they can plan | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
properly towards transition. It is over to the Afghan forces. In the | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
village, the police seemed willing to help themselves to food, just | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
like the Taleban. They did find a Taleban ammunitions - in the garden. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
The insurgents haven't gone away. They were sniping at the soldiers | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
on the operation we joined. The Afghan forces lack much. British | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
officers say private lake there is still a big problem with corruption. | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
The question now it is will the Afghans be able to do the job the | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
British soldiers had been doing as they start to leave? | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
Now a look at some other news: More than 30 people in Iraq have been | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
killed by two co-ordinated bomb blast at a government office. | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
Officials say the building in the town of Taji, about 20 kilometres | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
north of Baghdad, was full of people at the time. The first | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
attack was a car bomb, then a roadside bomb exploded as people | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
:15:29. | :15:32. | ||
Syrian security forces are reported to have shot dead LE6 anti- | :15:32. | :15:41. | |
government protesters in Hama on the second day of clashes. They say | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
they are continuing to surround Hama and the authorities are trying | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
to assert control. The European Union has banned the | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
sale of some categories of seeds and beans from Egypt. The report | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
:16:03. | :16:04. | ||
macro says a single batch of that seeds was the likely source of E- | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
coli eight that killed 50 people. Prince William and Catherine have | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
arrived in the far north of Canada for the latest up in their first | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
official tour. They are meeting groups and will have an afternoon | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
of singing and art export. The United Nations refugee agency | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
has said the drought in East Africa is a tragedy of unimaginable will | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
proportions. Many people are facing shortages of food, shelter and | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
health services. This report from Ben Brown. | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
Day after day, mile after mile, they walk and they walk. These are | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
the people of the drought. They are also escaping from the civil war in | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
Somalia. They walk vast distances a cross land where it no longer seems | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
to rain. Some are sick, like this six month old. Some will die along | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
the way. These people we came across are from the same village. | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
What they carry it is all they possess. | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
The journey was too long. We have no food. No water. There were | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
threats from wild animals. This group of villagers have been | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
walking for five days to get here. Others travelled longer than that, | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
sometimes several weeks. They are looking for food, water and medical | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
supplies. And they are pleading for help from the international | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
community. When they arrive at the Dadaab camp, they are desperate. | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
The camp has been overwhelmed. The United Nations say they give basic | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
rations to everyone who arrives. Some refugees say they can wait for | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
days and weeks without getting proper food supplies. Unless we can | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
get aid into this part of the world and increase our operation to meet | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
the growing need, this crisis could turn into a catastrophe. This is | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
what we have to stop. The most vulnerable in the camp are the | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
malnourished children who have just arrived. Often they die within a | :18:36. | :18:44. | |
day of getting here. And so the graveyards are filling up fast. | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
Mainly, it is children and babies. Families who come in search of food | :18:50. | :19:00. | |
:19:00. | :19:01. | ||
and water have found death instead. A Libyan government spokesman | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
denied negotiations are taking place about Colonel Gaddafi giving | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
up power or seeking safe refuge. Moussa Ibrahim said the claims were | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
untrue. Talks have taken place in Italy, Egypt and Norway with senior | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
figures in the Libyan opposition, but they focus on finding a | :19:19. | :19:28. | |
peaceful way out of the conflict. Crossing Libya's empty desert is | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
exhausting. For the journalists, and even for the camels. We are on | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
our way to the front line to meet the loyal fighters of Colonel | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
Gaddafi, we are told. Instead, after 10 hours' driving, this is | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
where we end up. It is, we are told, the latest handiwork of NATO. The | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
point of the trip becomes apparent, to witness how NATO is to strike | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
Libya's economic infrastructure. -- is destroying. The welcoming | :20:02. | :20:12. | |
:20:12. | :20:17. | ||
committee is out and in a full voice. We are not army. Look. But, | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
we are standing here. This is our land. The anger may be genuine. As | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
with so much in Libya, it is hard to tell what is real and what is | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
staged for the cameras. We have been brought here to see the damage | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
that the locals say was caused by a NATO strike and to a family home, | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
which they say was destroyed by the NATO strike. Once again, there are | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
strange things about the bomb site. In particular, this, an ejector | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
seat from a fighter jet. It appears to be from a Russian-built aircraft. | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
Nobody can explain what it is doing in the middle of a bombed site | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
supposedly caused by NATO. There are other anomalies. Spent aircraft | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
around sleaze to the ground. -- anti-aircraft rounds of litter the | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
ground. And we are taken to see this. The regime say they have seen | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
this been smuggled to the rebels from NATO ships in the | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
Mediterranean. When we say we need people to discuss peace fully how | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
to solve the Libyan crisis, nobody agrees to sit down with us. When it | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
comes to supplying weapons to the rebels, everybody wants to. | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
message is that it is NATO and its allies that is fuelling the war. | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
The only problem is that nobody outside Tripoli seems to believe | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
them. A Pakistani religious scholar has | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
demanded the killer of a politician be released from prison. Salmaan | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Taseer was a prominent liberal politician when he was murdered by | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
his bodyguard. His assassin has since been turned into a martyr by | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
Islamic fundamentalists in Pakistan. The murdered man's San it is the | :22:20. | :22:29. | |
novelist Aatish Taseer, whose novel tells of someone who goes to meet | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
the father he has never met. It must be distressing for you to hear | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
the calls for your father's murder to be released from prison. It is | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
hideous but sadly predictable. has been turned into a martyr. | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
killer is a hero. There are posters celebrating him. It is to hideous. | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
Do your family hope... They hope he will be brought to trial, but do | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
they fear he will not be brought to trial? There is that fear. It would | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
take a strong government to have the courage to bring him to trial. | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
I fear there is not the political will to do that. And there is a | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
groundswell in Pakistan in support of the killer. It is a very small | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
beleaguered number of people who are standing by my father and what | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
he represented. I understand your novel, Noon, has been dragged into | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
:23:41. | :23:41. | ||
the debate. The first book, stranger to History, has been used. | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
It is the worst nightmare to have your writing that was written at | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
another time with another intention to be used in this way and turned | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
against. It is a horrible thing to go through. I cannot speak for the | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
book. It is now in unsafe hands, as it were. They are trying to insure | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
it towards the conclusion and some how damaged my father's credentials | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
as a Muslim, almost making the case that he deserve to die because he | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
was not a good enough Muslim. This shows you the society we are | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
thinking about. You did not meet your father until you were 21. Your | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
parents separated when you were young. Was it a problem for him | :24:29. | :24:39. | |
that you were born of a Indian mother. It was damaging. It is | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
something they used against him. In the trial it is a victory for the | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
prosecution lawyer to prove that he had an association with this woman | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
and a half Indian child. It was damaging. Do you feel Indian or | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
Pakistani? I feel Indian in the undivided sense. When I am in | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
Punjab, I feel a monk my own people. I have no love for the idea of | :25:10. | :25:19. | |
Pakistan -- I feel a month my own people. -- amongst my own people. | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
Will your new book be published in Pakistan? I am not sure. I hope it | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
will be distributed in Pakistan. This is a volatile time. Because of | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
the way that the other book was used, I am almost reluctant to have | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
my writing published in Pakistan. Thank you very much. | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
Before we go, breaking news is coming in. The ratings agency | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
Moody's has cut Portugal's credit rating by it four levels. It is two | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
notches above junk territory. It is said it will need a second round of | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
bail-out before it can return to the capital markets. And a reminder | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
of the main stories. Pressure is growing for the chief executive of | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
News International Media Group to resign. This follows allegations | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
that a private investigator or was working for the News Of The World | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
and hacked into the mobile phone of a missing British schoolgirl. | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
Rebekah Brooks says she is appalled by the allegations and has written | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
to the family. And an appeal court in the Netherlands has found the | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
Dutch state was responsible for deaths in Srebrenica in 1995. | :26:46. | :26:56. | |

In the sunshine in eastern England today the temperature reached up to | :27:04. | :27:09. | |

will be heavy showers. Low-pressure moving in from the Atlantic and | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
that will dominate the weather for the rest of the week. We will have | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
unsettled weather. These are the showers throughout a Wednesday. At | :27:27. | :27:35. | |
4pm, it is not constant rain. They will be showers with brighter | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
spells in between. But the showers could well be heavy and thundery of. | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
In London, we make it up to 22 degrees. In the showers, | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
temperatures will drop quickly. More general rain will approach | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
south-west England towards the end of the afternoon. In Northern | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
Ireland, sunshine and showers. In the sunshine, it will not feel too | :28:01. | :28:07. |
