: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

: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

:16:54. > :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

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

: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,

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

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

: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.
:27:52. > :27:55.17-18 Celsius is the temperature across much of the UK.
:27:56. > :27:59.Catch a shower, it could be thundery. There could be some hail.

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