:00:14. > :00:18.D this is BBC World News Today, with me Kirsty Lang. On the

:00:18. > :00:22.defensive, media mogul Rupert Murdoch is forced to condemn one of

:00:22. > :00:26.his own papers for despicable behaviour, as it emerged the

:00:26. > :00:31.victims of the London bombings also had their phones hacked. It is a

:00:31. > :00:37.violation, isn't it? I still don't know what I think about it, other

:00:37. > :00:39.than I'm really angry, really angry. A host of major companies are now

:00:39. > :00:44.pulling advertise from the newspaper. We'll be talking to one

:00:44. > :00:48.of them. The first woman to head the IMF, Christine Lagarde, says

:00:48. > :00:53.she's the first -- the right person to improve the organisation's image.

:00:53. > :00:58.No chance of survive - the UN says children fleeing the drought in

:00:58. > :01:03.Somalia are dying as they reach a Kenyan refugee camp. We look at the

:01:03. > :01:13.controversial works of painter Cy Twombly, who passed away after six

:01:13. > :01:21.

:01:21. > :01:25.Hello. Welcome, he's the most powerful media mogul in the world

:01:25. > :01:29.wTV stations, newspapers and film stations across the world. Rupert

:01:29. > :01:33.Murdoch has found himself under fire for the actions of one small

:01:33. > :01:36.element of his newspaper. Today he condemned the actions of his own

:01:36. > :01:40.paper he said what News of the World had done hacking phones and

:01:40. > :01:46.paying police officers were information was deplorable and

:01:46. > :01:50.unacceptable. It follows statements follow the families of victims of

:01:50. > :01:54.the London bombings may have been targeted by the paper. Yes, there

:01:54. > :01:59.was worse to come. Joining the list of those warned their phones may

:01:59. > :02:09.have been hacked on behalf of the News of the World, the families of

:02:09. > :02:14.the loved ones blown apart on 7/7. My mind went back to 2005 and the

:02:14. > :02:23.real emotionalor moil and state we were in and somebody waslyening to

:02:23. > :02:28.-- the emotional or moil and state we were in and somebody was

:02:28. > :02:33.listening into it. Also on the list the parents of

:02:33. > :02:38.Holly and Jessica. And Milly Dowler, whose parents were given false hope

:02:38. > :02:41.she was still alive when her voice messages were deleted after her

:02:41. > :02:45.phone was allegedly hacked by a private investigator. Last night,

:02:45. > :02:50.the Prime Minister returned from Afghanistan to learn of the brewing

:02:50. > :02:55.storm. This morning, he worked out his answer for the question he knew

:02:55. > :02:57.would be coming. Given the gravity of what has occurred, will the

:02:57. > :03:03.Prime Minister support the calls for a full independent public

:03:03. > :03:07.inquiry to take place as soon as practicable and into the culture

:03:07. > :03:13.and practises of British newspapers? Let me be very clear,

:03:13. > :03:16.yes, we do need to have an inquiry, possibly inquiries into what has

:03:16. > :03:21.happened. Let us be clear, we are no longer talking here about

:03:21. > :03:27.politicians and celebrities. We are talking about murder victims,

:03:27. > :03:30.potentially terrorist victims having their phones hacked into it

:03:30. > :03:33.is disgusting. What happened in the news room at the News of the World

:03:33. > :03:36.is being investigated by 50 police officers. Now there are to be

:03:36. > :03:41.inquiries into why the police took so long to take this seriously and

:03:41. > :03:46.the much wider question of what is wrong with the British media?

:03:46. > :03:50.Rupert Murdoch's competitors have complained about him for years. No

:03:50. > :03:54.politician with the prospect of power dared to do it.

:03:54. > :03:59.After all, he didn't just control of the News of the World, but the

:03:59. > :04:05.Sun, the Times and the Sunday Times. Today felt like a day when all that

:04:05. > :04:11.might be about to change. At the helm of Rupert Murdoch's empire is

:04:11. > :04:15.Rebekah Brooks, editor of the News of the World, at the time of the

:04:15. > :04:20.alleged hacking of Milly Dowler and the murder victims of Soham.

:04:20. > :04:24.There were suggests she was away at the time. Her successor as editor

:04:24. > :04:27.of the News of the World was Andy Coulson, who went on to be David

:04:27. > :04:31.Cameron's Director of Communications. Last night, News

:04:31. > :04:35.International said e-mails it had given to the police allegedly

:04:35. > :04:38.showed he sanctioned tens of thousands of pounds of payments to

:04:38. > :04:43.police officers. At Question Time, the Labour leader called on the

:04:43. > :04:47.Prime Minister to join him in calling for Brooks to quit. David

:04:47. > :04:54.Cameron refused. Next, he was asked about hi former right-hand man.

:04:54. > :04:59.the public is to have confidence in him, he's got to accept that he

:04:59. > :05:05.made a catastrophic error of judgment by bringing Andy

:05:05. > :05:09.Coulson.... Into the heart of his Downing Street machine. I take full

:05:09. > :05:11.responsibility for everyone I employ, for everyone I appoint. I

:05:11. > :05:16.take responsibility for everything my Government does. What this

:05:16. > :05:21.Government is doing is making sure that the fact the public and I felt

:05:21. > :05:24.so appalled by what has happened, murder victims, terrorist vibg

:05:24. > :05:28.ticks who have had their phones hacked is quite disgraceful. It is

:05:28. > :05:33.important there is a full police investigation, with all the powers

:05:33. > :05:37.they need. This all began with the imprisonment four years ago of the

:05:37. > :05:43.News of the World's world editor, imprisononed too this man, Glenn

:05:43. > :05:46.Mulcaire. I made a statement yesterday. Due

:05:46. > :05:52.to legal constraints, unfortunately at this stage I can make no more

:05:52. > :05:56.comment at the moment. It is his notes and private phone numbers

:05:56. > :05:59.which have fuelled this saga. That and the mounting anger of MPs who

:05:59. > :06:04.allege the police simply did not want to investigation what he'd

:06:04. > :06:09.done. I think a lot of lies have been told to a lot of people. When

:06:09. > :06:14.police officers tell lies, or at least half-truths to ministers of

:06:14. > :06:18.the Crown and then Parliament ends up being misled, I think that is a

:06:19. > :06:23.major constitutional issue for us to face. Tonight, Rupert Murdoch

:06:23. > :06:33.issued a statement describing what had happened as "deplorable and

:06:33. > :06:36.

:06:36. > :06:43.Murdoch's enemies have long claimed hofr is in power, he is the real --

:06:43. > :06:46.who ever is in power, he is the real puppet master. No-one knows

:06:46. > :06:50.how this extraordinary drama will end.

:06:50. > :06:59.So what impact will the phone hacking scandal have on News

:06:59. > :07:03.Corporation? Well a growing number of big companies, Ford Mitsubishi

:07:03. > :07:08.have decided not to publish adverts in the News of the World this

:07:08. > :07:12.weekend. This report contains some flash

:07:12. > :07:16.photography. Vauxhall, Ford, Mitsubishi and other big companies

:07:16. > :07:20.with big brands, they've said they don't want to advertise in the News

:07:20. > :07:26.of the World this weekend because they don't want to be associated

:07:26. > :07:30.with the shocking revelations about how the newspaper obtained stories.

:07:30. > :07:33.For News International, owner of the News of the World, a

:07:33. > :07:38.reputational crisis looks like it could become a financial problem.

:07:39. > :07:42.This is a crisis for News of the World. Advertisers at this moment

:07:42. > :07:46.deciding whether to appear in News of the World this Sunday. I don't

:07:46. > :07:51.think all will pull out. If it's not effectively dealt with this

:07:51. > :07:56.weekend, I think it could grow. Surely this is a small problem for

:07:56. > :07:59.Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation, which owns News

:07:59. > :08:06.International. The global revenues of his media empire are more than

:08:06. > :08:10.�20 billion. The worry for him is contagion from what he described as

:08:10. > :08:14.the deplorable alleged wrong doing of the News of the World, to other

:08:15. > :08:19.big ambitions, including his planned takeover of British Sky

:08:19. > :08:21.Broadcasting. The public will not accept the idea that with this

:08:21. > :08:26.scandal engulfing the News of the World and News International that

:08:26. > :08:29.the Government should, in the coming days, in the coming days, be

:08:30. > :08:35.making a decision outside of the normal processes for them to take

:08:35. > :08:40.control of one of the biggest media organises in the country.

:08:40. > :08:45.Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation wants to buy the 61% of British Sky

:08:45. > :08:50.Broadcasting it doesn't already own. My sources tell me that BskyB's

:08:50. > :08:53.board took the view that they would have to pay �9.6 billion for these

:08:53. > :08:57.shares. Following today's confirmation by Ofcom, the media

:08:57. > :09:01.regulator, it has a duty to be satisfied that the holder of a

:09:01. > :09:07.broadcast license is fit and proper, there is a risk that the takeover

:09:07. > :09:11.could be blocked or unscrambled. So, B Sky B's directors may insist that

:09:11. > :09:16.Newscorp pay more to compensate for the risk that the deal may never

:09:16. > :09:20.have. Which provides an incentive for Mr Murdoch and News Corporation

:09:20. > :09:24.to delay the takeover, pending greater clarity on whether they

:09:24. > :09:29.will be seen by the regulator as suitable owners of Sky, in the

:09:29. > :09:31.light of whatever shocking disclosures are made about how the

:09:31. > :09:36.News of the World obtained its stories.

:09:36. > :09:43.Well, that was our business editor. I am joined now by the Mitsubishi

:09:43. > :09:48.spokesperson here in the UK. He's the general manager of

:09:48. > :09:53.communications. Mr Wertheim. What led you to take this decision? We

:09:53. > :09:56.know that News of the World has been involved in scandals for years.

:09:56. > :10:01.The phone hacking allegations have been around for some time. Why now?

:10:01. > :10:04.We felt that sometimes you just know in life when a line has been

:10:04. > :10:08.crossed. Yesterday evening we felt that the behaviour that was

:10:08. > :10:12.continuing to emerge about News of the World's practises was none less

:10:12. > :10:17.than despicable and that line had been crossed. We felt we had to do

:10:17. > :10:20.something about it which was in our control. Did you consider pulling

:10:20. > :10:24.advertising from all of News International or just News of the

:10:24. > :10:28.World? Because our actions are based around the News of the

:10:28. > :10:32.World's actions then we have localised it to that organisation.

:10:32. > :10:38.We recognise that other enterprises are separate entities. For now the

:10:38. > :10:42.News of the World is the only person being affected by that.

:10:42. > :10:51.painful will this be for News of the World - what sort of money are

:10:51. > :10:56.we talking about? In terms of the vast spend,ours may be a small

:10:56. > :11:00.amount. We will see how far it goes. There are other organisations which

:11:00. > :11:05.are pulling out advertising spend. Is moral revulsion really the

:11:05. > :11:09.reason you are pulling adds, or is it because you feel consumers may

:11:09. > :11:12.boycott Mitsubishi if it was seen to be advertising in the News of

:11:12. > :11:16.the World? Absolutely not. Last night when we made the decision we

:11:16. > :11:20.felt personally they had gone across the line. We actually stated

:11:20. > :11:24.our intentions on Twitter and Facebook yesterday evening. As a

:11:24. > :11:28.result of the Facebook post, one of our fans suggested that we take the

:11:28. > :11:31.advertising spend that we would have given to News of the World and

:11:32. > :11:35.actually give that to a charity. We have taken to be a great idea. That

:11:36. > :11:39.is what we're doing as well. That was not done as a PR spin. We did

:11:39. > :11:45.it because we thought it was a fantastic idea from one of our

:11:46. > :11:52.followers. We put our money where our mouth is. Thank you very much.

:11:52. > :11:58.Let's look now at other news. Libyan rebels have taken control of

:11:58. > :12:02.the village of Gualish, 100kms south-west of Tripoli. It is a

:12:02. > :12:07.crucial step towards the larger garrison town of Garyan, which

:12:07. > :12:10.controls the main road towards the capital. The rebels say they have

:12:10. > :12:16.captured several pro-Government soldiers as well. To get more,

:12:16. > :12:26.let's talk to our correspondent live from the Western Desert. Mark,

:12:26. > :12:27.

:12:27. > :12:32.is this a significant advance by the rebels? I think it's a

:12:32. > :12:36.potentially significant development rather than a major advance. The

:12:36. > :12:41.village of Gualish is important to the rebels. It is along the way

:12:41. > :12:46.they would like to go to a major garrison town and controls one of

:12:46. > :12:51.the main north-south roads through Libya and leads to Tripoli. They've

:12:51. > :12:56.been trying to take this village for several days now. It is now

:12:56. > :12:59.confirmed they have advanced into it and taken part of it. It is a

:12:59. > :13:03.big sprawling village. It spreads over several bits of mountain. They

:13:03. > :13:08.have not taken all of it. They have advanced. They are claiming it is a

:13:08. > :13:14.victory. It is more of a potentially -- it is more of a

:13:14. > :13:19.development rather than a victory. Thank you very much. The South

:13:19. > :13:24.Korean city of Pyeongchang has been chosen to host the Olympic Games of

:13:24. > :13:28.2018. It was selected in the first round of voting ahead of Munich in

:13:28. > :13:34.Germany and Annecy in France. The winter games have been held in Asia

:13:34. > :13:38.twice before, both times in Japan. New rules at reducing the price cap

:13:38. > :13:44.between using a mobile home at -- mobile phone at home and abroad

:13:45. > :13:49.have been proposed. They want to cut roaming charges and text

:13:49. > :13:53.messages sent or data downloaded when travelling in Europe. New

:13:53. > :14:00.lower price caps could come into force in stages.

:14:00. > :14:05.The new head of the international mon fri fund, -- the International

:14:05. > :14:10.Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, has said that the economy was

:14:10. > :14:14.turning around. In an interview with our correspondent she

:14:14. > :14:19.discussed our plans and the future of the eurozone.

:14:19. > :14:25.Christine Lagarde, you are here, the first woman managing director.

:14:25. > :14:31.What will you change around here? Second day. The first week. Only

:14:31. > :14:36.the second day. I will try to engage as many people as possible.

:14:36. > :14:43.What I know about the fund, as a shareholder, as a member, as a

:14:43. > :14:46.client, which I was for the past six years or so, there are multiple

:14:46. > :14:51.talents. Extremely smart individuals. A lot of expertise. A

:14:51. > :14:56.lot of background on difficulties and ways to recover, or ways not to

:14:56. > :15:01.recover. And my first priority will be to engage people. Just to go to

:15:01. > :15:04.the big challenge - the eurozone, I think no serious observer looking

:15:04. > :15:08.at the situation in the eurozone, not just Greece, but other

:15:08. > :15:12.countries, thinks that you can get out of this ultimately without a

:15:12. > :15:16.very big reduction in the value of the sovereign debt, particularly of

:15:16. > :15:20.Greece, but probably other countries. That will be paid for by

:15:20. > :15:25.either the private investors holding that debt or by European

:15:25. > :15:28.Governments. Do you think that your former colleagues, the European

:15:28. > :15:38.leaders, have understood that, that there has to be a reduction in the

:15:38. > :15:42.

:15:42. > :15:49.It is a matter for everyone, not just me or the IMF. Including

:15:49. > :15:54.investors? The private sector, international institutions, they

:15:54. > :16:01.will be asked to participate and contribute. It will have to be

:16:01. > :16:04.cohesive and not at hoc as sometimes has been the case.

:16:04. > :16:10.Interesting you say that. You do not think that a solution has been

:16:10. > :16:16.reached? You think there will need to be a comprehensive solution?

:16:16. > :16:20.is an ongoing process. For example, they is a programme on the way,

:16:20. > :16:24.before the review is scheduled for this coming Friday at the board

:16:24. > :16:32.meeting. We will see whether there has been appropriate delivery of

:16:32. > :16:39.the undertakings by Greece and we will decide or not to release the

:16:39. > :16:43.5th. It is an ongoing process. lot of concerns about Portugal and

:16:43. > :16:48.the downgrading based on the assumption that there will be a

:16:48. > :16:54.second MLA -- IMF European bailout. Are you confident there will not be

:16:54. > :17:00.one? I'm very confident on the fact that the Portuguese programme,

:17:00. > :17:07.which is a very strong one, is supported by all political forces

:17:07. > :17:13.in Portugal. The fact that the political party in government

:17:13. > :17:20.reached out to the opposition and the opposition was prepared to join

:17:20. > :17:27.and embark in the negotiations and in the partnership that was put

:17:27. > :17:31.together a, I think is a very significant strength. If Portugal

:17:31. > :17:34.delivers on the commitments it has made, it will restore its position.

:17:34. > :17:36.I'm convinced of it. Christine Lagarde talking to our

:17:36. > :17:40.Economics Editor, Stephanie Flanders. Well, in Ms Lagarde in-

:17:40. > :17:42.tray at IMF will be Portugal's growing debt problem. Today the

:17:42. > :17:48.European Union has criticised a major credit ratings agency over

:17:48. > :17:52.its decision to downgrade. Portugal's government debt to junk

:17:52. > :17:58.status. The agency Moody's said Lisbon was unlikely to meet its

:17:58. > :18:00.debt reduction targets and would need a second bailout.

:18:00. > :18:03.An appeal will be launched on Friday by the UK-based Disasters

:21:46. > :21:52.all this did not happen by chance. In 1954, he was conscripted into

:21:52. > :21:56.the US Army where he trained as a trichologist. During this time, he

:23:04. > :23:08.What made Cy Twombley a great artist? He brought painted into

:23:08. > :23:15.life and kept it alive at a time when people thought it was dying or

:23:15. > :23:23.dead. Not only painting, but a kind of grand historical conception of

:23:23. > :23:28.painting that goes back to Rubens. His choice to move from America to

:23:28. > :23:32.Rome was clearly a choice to live in a world of the Old Masters and

:23:32. > :23:37.the classical tradition. His work is saturated in references to that.

:23:37. > :23:42.But it is not just a cold classicism, and it is certainly not

:23:42. > :23:48.an academic style, he is extremely earthy and fleshy. Some of his

:23:48. > :23:57.pictures, he was the first graffiti artist. His idea of graffiti is an

:23:58. > :24:03.obscenity a lot of the time. They are obscene doodles combined with a

:24:03. > :24:07.quotation, some from the classical orders forced off a lot of people

:24:12. > :24:22.bunch of squiggles that anyone could do. That does not seem part

:24:22. > :24:26.of the greats. That is what is so fantastic about him. He really did

:24:26. > :24:33.carry the great Jewish and forward, but at the same time, you could

:24:33. > :24:38.never call him Conservative. -- the great tradition forward. I read

:24:38. > :24:46.something online about him just being a doodle a great artist. He

:24:46. > :24:50.came out of the American abstract tradition. In some ways, he was the

:24:50. > :24:59.Jackson Pollock of his time. He made American art famous in the

:24:59. > :25:03.1950s. He came directly after that tradition. He was the heir to

:25:03. > :25:08.Pollock and he had -- they were both very great artists. You have

:25:08. > :25:13.to look at his command of colour. Anyone who says he is splashing it

:25:13. > :25:18.about, he is a great colourist. What about the use of writing and

:25:18. > :25:24.text, which is presumably another reason why be talking -- about him

:25:24. > :25:29.as a graffiti artist? It was an extremely important element in

:25:29. > :25:34.complex ways. One way, he was a very private man and a real

:25:34. > :25:38.intellectual. You could tell he obviously deeply loved poetry. The

:25:38. > :25:43.quiet -- the quotations he put in his paintings are not just dry

:25:43. > :25:47.things. They are usually about love and death. The important thing

:25:47. > :25:52.about him, the recent that he loved language and poetry was that he

:25:52. > :25:57.wanted to be an abstract artist, but he also wanted to be about the

:25:57. > :26:01.human things that matter. Such things like love, death and history.

:26:01. > :26:04.I'm afraid that is all we have time for, thank you very much.

:26:04. > :26:07.A drawing by Picasso, thought to be worth �100,000, has been stolen

:26:07. > :26:10.from an art gallery in San Francisco. Police are looking for a

:26:10. > :26:13.man who walked into the Weinstein Gallery, took the pencil drawing

:26:13. > :26:16."Tete de Femme" - Head of a Woman - off the wall, and then disappeared

:26:16. > :26:19.in a taxi. A reminder of our main news. The

:26:19. > :26:21.British Prime Minister has backed opposition calls for an independent

:26:21. > :26:26.inquiry into the phone hacking scandal that's engulfing Rupert

:26:26. > :26:29.Murdoch's British media group, News International. One of its papers,

:26:29. > :26:32.The News of the World, is accused of paying to hack into mobile phone

:26:32. > :26:35.messages - such as those of a missing schoolgirl who was later

:26:35. > :26:37.found murdered, and those of relatives of the victims of the

:26:37. > :26:41.2005 bombings in London. Well, that's all from the programme.

:27:03. > :27:06.Hello. There's more wet and blustery weather sweeping north an

:27:06. > :27:11.east across much of the UK overnight. Tomorrow it is back to

:27:11. > :27:14.the mixture of sunshine, but also some beefy, hefty showers around.

:27:14. > :27:19.Low pressure sitting across the United Kingdom for Wednesday. That

:27:19. > :27:22.is why we have all the showers swirling around that area of low

:27:22. > :27:25.pressure. For many areas the showers will move through on the

:27:25. > :27:30.breeze. For Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland, very close to

:27:30. > :27:34.the centre of that low pressure, there's barely a breath of wind.

:27:34. > :27:37.The rain will stick around. This is the picture at 4pm in the afternoon.

:27:37. > :27:42.There are showers dotted around across much of England and Wales.

:27:42. > :27:49.As is ever the case with showers it is not a constant rain. There are

:27:49. > :27:52.gaps between the showers. Inbetween you get to see occasional sunshine.

:28:03. > :28:08.Scotland, here they send to stick around. There is a risk here of

:28:08. > :28:13.getting caught in a heavy, torrential downpour. It is no hurry

:28:13. > :28:16.to move on somewhere else. Perhaps not so many showers the further
