Hello and welcome to Westminster on what has been another day that has | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
seen a seismic and humiliating reversal for Rupert Murdoch and his | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
media empire. Bowing to public pressure, and faced with rare | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
political unity behind an opposition debate here at | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
Westminster, he has withdrawn News Corporation's bid to take full | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
:01:47. | :01:48. | ||
control of BSkyB. The man who for decades was courted by the | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
political establishment, and viewed by many as a kingmaker, now reaping | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
the whirlwind of public and political opprobrium. On a dramatic, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
fast-moving day at Westminster, David Cameron also announced | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
details about a far-reaching inquiry into recent events, | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
regulation of the press, and the relationship between politicians | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
and the Fourth Estate. More on that and the debate in a minute, but | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
first, this report on a multi- billion pound deal now in tatters | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
:02:27. | :02:31. | ||
from our business editor. Rupert Murdoch, the news mogul, in | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
the news for the wrong reasons. Putting on a brave face before one | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
of the great humiliations of his career, his abandonment to own all | :02:42. | :02:52. | |
:02:52. | :03:02. | ||
of British broadcasting. Here is Minutes before, this was the | :03:02. | :03:11. | |
climate. When such a serious cloud hangs over News Corporation, a does | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
he agree with me that it would be wrong for them to expand their | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
stake in the British media? And this was the Prime Minister a | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
little bit later. This is the right decision. This company needs to | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
sort out the problems at News International, at the News of the | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
World. That must be the priority pulls up it is the second setback | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
for Mr Murdoch. Days ago, he closed the News of the | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
World. 10 days ago, there are allegations that the News of the | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
World hacked into the phone of Milly Dowler, and that the privacy | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
of the families of soldiers had been invaded along with other | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
shocking revelations. This is a victory for people up and down this | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
country, who had been appalled by the revelations, who have thought | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
it is beyond belief that Mr Murdoch could expand his stake in the | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
British media. Rupert Murdoch was keen to increase | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
his ownership, because it would have given him access to the vast | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
amounts of cash generated by the UK's television industry. BSkyB's | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
profits were around �1 billion, which would have been very useful | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
to News Corporation, at a time when his newspapers had been struggling | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
to maintain their revenues. As for the other shareholders, they have | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
also paid a big prize. BSkyB's share price has fallen by 20%, | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
wiping almost �3 billion from the value of the company. So what has | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
Rupert Murdoch lost? This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
acquire 100% of a business which has a very good prospects, a growth | :05:13. | :05:22. | |
Tribbeck Cherie, it would have increased the company by 25%. -- | :05:22. | :05:32. | |
:05:32. | :05:33. | ||
Mr Murdoch would see himself as the founder of BSkyB. To be told by | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
politicians who were seen as some as his creatures, that he should | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
not press ahead, and them to do as they insisted, it is a very | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
:05:53. | :05:54. | ||
embarrassing setback. It is extremely rare to have an | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
opposition day motion being supported by all political parties. | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
That debate has just broken up. There was no vote. There were | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
stinging criticisms of News International and the tactics it | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
used in getting stories, in particular from the former Prime | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
Minister, at Gordon Brown. Quite a rise in this debate not to speak | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
about myself, but for those who cannot defend themselves. For the | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
grieving families have a lot more dead, for survivors of the July | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
seventh bombings, the many victims of crime, and most recently, the | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
victims of the violation of the rides of a missing and murdered | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
child. Many innocent men, women and children, who at their darkest hour, | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
the most abominable moment in their lives, with no one and nowhere to | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
turn, found their private lives treated as the public property of | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
:07:11. | :07:14. | ||
News International. That curious intervention by Gordon | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Brown. He believes that the medical records of his son, who has cystic | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
fibrosis, were accessed by News International. That denies the | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
report. I have been run -- talking to Alastair Campbell about the | :07:34. | :07:44. | |
:07:44. | :07:45. | ||
relationship of the press and the political establishment. I began by | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
asking him how important he thought this development was today, the | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
fact that News Corporation had pulled out of the bed. | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
opposition, the Labour Party has always had a rough ride. Successive | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
leaders have been battered by the right-wing press. Going out and | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
doing this speech to a very influential audience of editors and | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
executives, I can give them why we did that, and it did help us a | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
level that playing field. We won the election in 1997. We did not | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
win the election because the summer backed us. What I do accept, as we | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
got into government, the relations between parts of government and | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
News International did get too close. If we had been beholden to | :08:40. | :08:49. | |
Murdoch, we would have had a very anti-European policy. I think that | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
what I would accept, in my own defence, I have been arguing about | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
this for some time. The relationship between politics and | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
the media isn't a very bad place. We should have done more to change | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
it. So much amber -- anger, by Gordon Brown. Is there a risk the | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
result of this is that it would not be good for deep state of the press | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
or democracy if tighter press regulations come in? There is a | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
risk. It is important that parliamentarians and the media have | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
a reasonable, or rational debate about this. I think Gordon made a | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
very powerful speech. I was with him during the election campaign, | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
and I know how angry he was by how News International treated him. It | :09:50. | :09:59. | |
was hate, hate, hate. I hope we can get back to a more reasonable | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
debate. I do think, however, I can remember as a journalist in the | :10:05. | :10:15. | |
'80s, most members of the public will think they have been drinking | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
in the last chance saloon and getting drunk for a very long time. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
The idea that the sort of self regulation that the press are one, | :10:23. | :10:32. | |
where they run it, they have the its senior jobs, I think that will | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
have to go. However, I accept we have got to be very careful that we | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
do not then go so far as to have a press there were not be able to do | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
what decent press can do. The question is, do we have that decent | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
:10:57. | :10:58. | ||
press? The other thing we will see, once this inquiry gets underway, it | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
does not stop at the doors of News International. | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
Alastair Campbell speaking to me a little earlier. Let us speak to the | :11:09. | :11:19. | |
:11:19. | :11:24. | ||
What did you make of today's development? Is this the biggest | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
humiliation of Rupert Murdoch's Korea? It probably is. All | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
political careers end in failure. Mr Murdoch is 80, and is looking | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
like a tea. He seems to have lost it. -- like a to. A tiny corner of | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
my brain says, he will be back. There are reports, in some | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
newspapers, that News International might look to jettison some of | :11:58. | :12:08. | |
these titles. That would be disastrous, wanted? There is a | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
:12:18. | :12:18. | ||
paradox in all of this. The Guardian exposed Ron Dearing. -- | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
:12:28. | :12:29. | ||
wrongdoing. The News of the World closes. Our industry is in trouble. | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
We hope that will not happen. They may be bluffing. Murdoch is a big | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
card player. What about the inquiry and future of press regulation. | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
Should be independent? Is there another risk that this country | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
might end up with a much more controlled, less three press? | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
is the fear this country. Free press, we just want them to behave. | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
David Cameron worked in television, and knows the difficulty of Bury | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
had feared he regulated media. My feeling is that the law should be | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
enforced. We saw it enforced the other day would be Johanna Yates | :13:23. | :13:33. | |
murder case. Regulation should be better, with them a souped-up Press | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
Complaints Commission, it is to follow up editors. We contribute | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
the money and control the money. In is to be handled by a third party. | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
In that way, you can have a more believable and falls for industry | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
regulation. It is not impossible. The world has to be there, maybe it | :13:55. | :14:05. | |
:14:05. | :14:07. | ||
Michael White of the Guardian. Let us get an idea of the sort of | :14:07. | :14:17. | |
:14:17. | :14:20. | ||
financial impact. We can go to New York. What have the effects been in | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
terms of share price and sentiment there? The share price reaction | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
suggests to us that investors are starting to look beyond this BSkyB | :14:31. | :14:41. | |
:14:41. | :14:42. | ||
bid. This company has 50 billion US dollars in cash. This has to be | :14:42. | :14:52. | |
deployed. While this scandal overhang is likely to linger, the | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
reality is that the company's fundamentals have been driven by | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
the television networks which are nothing to do with the newspapers. | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
There is a rumour that News Corporation would jettison the | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
English newspapers. What do you make of those reports, of class | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
actions, about the handling and control of News Corporation, so | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
heavily influenced by the Murdoch family? I do not think investors | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
are losing sleep about those kinds of losses. The bigger question here | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
is what does a company to, given the sell-off we have seen in the | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
past week, and that is why I think the spin-off of the newspaper | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
:15:54. | :15:54. | ||
business becomes increasingly plausible. Now I think the options | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
are on the table, and the danger is the company does not react | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
decisively to prevent the scandal from having collateral consequences | :16:06. | :16:14. | |
in other business. This is the situation in at | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
Westminster this evening. The debate has finished. There was no | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
vote on that. Extremely angry words, in particular from the former Prime | :16:23. | :16:32. | |
Minister Gordon Brown. Gordon Brown's son who had cystic fibrosis | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
and was convinced the medical records were access by part of the | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
News International empire. They deny that. The Sun newspaper | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
produced the source who they say was behind that story. News | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
:16:59. | :17:03. | ||
Corporation withdrawing their bid At least 21 people have been killed | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
and 80 wounded in three separate but simultaneous explosions in the | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
heart of Mumbai's business district. India's home minister com are P | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
Chidambaram, has called it a coordinated terrorist attack. The | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
blasts were several kilometres apart. The first was at the | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
celebrated jewellery market, Zaveri Bazaar. The second at the Opera | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
House district and the third in its Dadar. 166 people were killed when | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
6 -- 10 militants attacked two major hotels, the main railway | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
stations and the main Jewish centre several years ago. Our | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
correspondent has been to the location of one of the explosions. | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
This site of Dadar North is one of three situations where explosions | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
have gone off in Mumbai. A vehicle reportedly part with explosives was | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
located here and decorated. This, along with two other blasts, took | :18:07. | :18:14. | |
place at 7pm local time in highly densely populated areas. Lots of | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
traffic around peak time. We are hearing of many injuries across the | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
three blast site. The injured have been taken to local hospitals. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
Priority, according to the police and those leaders who have been | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
coming to these areas saying that the priority is for those to make | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
sure that the injured are taking care of. It is yet unclear as to | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
who is behind these attacks, as to what has taken place and whether | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
there is any correlation to those attacks in 2008 indoor my and those | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
five years ago in this city. The Afghan President has led | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
thousands of mourners at the funeral of his half-brother at the | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
family's home village. Hamid Karzai wept openly during the ceremony and | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
appealed to his countrymen to stop the violence. Ahmad Wali Karzai was | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
one of the most powerful figures in the southern Afghanistan. He was | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
shot dead by his own head of security. From Kabul, Sanjoy | :19:10. | :19:19. | |
Majumder reports. It was an emotional moment for | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
President Hamid Karzai. Burying his half-brother a day after a shocking | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
killing. How Ahmad Wali Karzai was laid to rest here, at his ancestral | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
village in Kandahar. Afterwards, a plea from the President to those | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
behind his death. My message for them is, my | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
countrymen, my brothers. Stop killing your own people. It is easy | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
to kill and everyone can do it but the real man is the one who can | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
save people's lives. The funeral drew many. Top members | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
of the Afghan government, tribesmen and ordinary citizens. All here for | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
a last glimpse at one of Afghanistan's most powerful men. | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
Even as the funeral was taking place, a bomb targets at the | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
governor of Helmand. He escaped unhurt but four policemen were | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
injured. It is a grim reminder of the tense situation unfolding in | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
the aftermath of Ahmad Wali Karzai's death. Questions have been | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
raised on the manner he was killed and you could have carried it out. | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
Ahmad Wali Karzai was seen as somebody who could come to the | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
Taliban, especially in this part of the country where they are greatly | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
influential. He was chosen as a close ally, overlooking serious | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
allegations against him. Thousands of NATO troops would have left | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
Afghanistan by the end of the yeah. His killing leaves a power vacuum | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
it -- a power vacuum in the south and comes at a sensitive time. | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
Now a look at some of the days other news: | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
The next head of the European Central Bank has criticised the way | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
politicians have handled the Eurozone debt crisis, saying | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
partial and temporary solutions have only increased uncertainty. It | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
comes as concerns are growing about the danger of the crisis spreading | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
to Italy. The police in Northern Ireland say | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
16 officers were injured during last night's violence. There were | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
26 arrests following trouble in Belfast, Londonderry, Armagh and | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
County Antrim. Nationalist youths attacked the police at the end of | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
the busiest day in the Orange Order marching season. | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
British judges have deferred a decision on whether to allow | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange to be extradited to Sweden. He is | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
wanted there to face allegations of sexual misconduct. The decision | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
:21:48. | :21:50. | ||
will now be made at a later date. It is one of the most controversial | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
areas of European policy but now the rules governing fishing in | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
Europe are set to change. The EU has proposed radical changes | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
proposing to stop over fishing in European waters. | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
The mysterious movements of fish remain an enigma... | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
Back in 1967, it all seemed so simple. Fishermen bringing in their | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
catch and selling it all at the local market. By the 1970s, this | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
was history. Today it is clear that the common fisheries policy, | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
brought in to promote sustainable fishing, is a failure. Its rules | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
are a major reason why there is so much of this. They call it discard, | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
hundreds of thousands of perfectly good fish are being thrown back | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
into the sea, dead. Rick Smith can look back at a 35 year career as a | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
skipper. For him, discards are a direct result of EU rules. | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
When there is a ban or a quota on court, for instance, you are still | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
catching all the other species, and you catch cod. You have no | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
alternative but to throw it away, dead. | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
That must be heartbreaking? Yes. That is what the law states. | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Discards are the most obvious problem with the common fisheries | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
policy but there are many other issues as well. The EU commissioner | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
is today proposing a radical programme of reform, including | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
banning discards. Our proposal is to change the | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
system so that all catches are landed and counted against quotas. | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
A third element is giving an alternative to overfishing. | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
UK ministers describe the regulations as fundamentally broken, | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
it is welcome news to them. They know the hard bargain is just | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
beginning. We have now got a very busy year to | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
make sure that the commissioner's proposals, many of which we have | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
been pushing for, will see the light of day. We also need to | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
reverse the hugely damaging effects of the common fishing policy. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
The debate in Europe will be protected, potentially better, with | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
so much vested national interest, there is no guarantee that any of | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
the proposed reforms will come into force. | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
Many conservationists say the basic problem is there are too many | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
fishing boats going after too few fish. Their logic is there should | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
be slimmed down European fishing fleet. That is a difficult message | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
for any politician to deliver to a community like Brixham, so | :24:38. | :24:47. | |
dependent on the fishing industry. Welcome back to Westminster, where | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
the the bed -- where the debate which was tabled by the opposition | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
leader Ed Miliband, saying there was no public confidence in the | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
News Corporation taking over steep -- BSkyB, had ended. It didn't go | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
to a vote because News Corp decided to pull out of that bid for BSkyB. | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
Some very strong, passionate language in the chamber today. | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
Yes. We heard Gordon Brown talking about how News International had | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
descended from the gutters into the sewers. That is the problem for | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
Rupert Murdoch. There is no end in sight to MPs piling into damage the | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
reps is eight -- the reputation of News International. | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
What a change in nine days. A lot of party leaders were falling over | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
themselves to court Rupert Murdoch after those of his emotions -- | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
before those revelations. Yes. David Cameron was saying just | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
a few days ago that MPs shouldn't confuse the issue of the BSkyB bid | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
with the issue of phone hacking. And yet, this morning, in the House | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
of Commons, he was saying they should do that. A massive U-turn. | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
It hasn't been a good nine days for No. 10, has it? | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
It hasn't. They look like they have been at the back foot for most of | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
this crisis since those allegations about Milly Dowler first arose. On | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
the one hand they point out that David Cameron was outside the | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
country when they first broke but even so, it has been Ed Miliband | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
who has made the running on this one. | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
Thank you. It has been a dramatic day at Westminster. It has also | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
been a day of a humiliation for Rupert Murdoch. Forced by public | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
opinion to withdraw that bid for BSkyB. He wanted that takeover | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
because it is a huge potential money spinner for the company. It | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
could be resurrected, perhaps, in the next few months, but who knows | :26:44. | :26:54. | |
:26:54. | :26:59. | ||
quite what will happen? That is it Hello. Most of the United Kingdom | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
will be dry on Thursday. The cloud will be broken and sunshine will | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
come through but this isn't the whole story because there is a | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
notable wet exception and that is in eastern most parts of England, | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
courtesy of an area of low pressure on the Continent, pushing rain into | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
coastal Norfolk and Suffolk. It will be an unpleasant day here. The | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
brain are starting to hack. A cool feel to the weather. Elsewhere, you | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
can see some of that sunshine on offer. Good sunny spells across the | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
North of England but Lincolnshire south, you are in the cloudy and | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
wet zone in parts of Essex and East Kent. The windy his own and cool | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
where the rain is heavy. Maybe just 12 degrees. In stark contrast we | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
have the south-west of England and Wales, dry with good sunny spells. | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
Feeling warmer than it did today. That is the case in north-west | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
England as well. Northern Ireland will get increasing clout through | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
the afternoon. Some of that cloud pushing into Scotland. Elsewhere in | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
Scotland, one or two showers developing but few and far between. | :28:08. | :28:12. |
