Cameron promises News of the World phone hack probe

[Gerald]

David Cameron has promised to set up a public inquiry into phone hacking at the News of the World.

The UK prime minister said claims that the voicemail of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler had been hacked, with some messages deleted, were "disgusting".

But he said an inquiry must wait until police investigations were over - Labour says it should be set up sooner.

Meanwhile News Corporation chief Rupert Murdoch said the allegations were "deplorable and unacceptable".

But he stood by News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, who was editor of the News of the World at the time, and has faced calls for her resignation.

Mr Murdoch, the head of News Corporation, the newspaper's parent company, said in a statement: "I have made clear that our company must fully and proactively cooperate with the police in all investigations and that is exactly what News International has been doing and will continue to do under Rebekah Brooks' leadership."

He added that he was "committed to addressing these issues fully".

[Tribesman]

Hypocrite.
Not at all, it was a partial quote which misreprested what he really said.

The full quote is "these revelations are deplorable and despicable after I have spent many millions trying to keep people quiet about them"
He has a point, when you have been throwing around a hell of a lot of hush money and have having your tame politicians help you out in trying to sweep the crimes under the carpet it really is despicable that after 5 years efforts it still becomes public.:03:

Speaking of cell phone

I wrote this in another site


So the plague even hit Europe huh. Here it's probably worse. Last weekend my mom cellphone was ringing and on the screen it registered it was from my sister. I accepted the phone and only could hear people conversation them being oblivious that their phone was making call. I tried to tell them but it seemed they couldn't hear me. The funny thing I then heard an advertising from the cellphone company and it wasn't from tv or radio. I don't think the call happened because someone accidentally played or hit the calling button. Back last year my phone bill from the same provider more than doubled with the same amount of usage. I checked the call list and I think there was too many of familiar numbers which I did call but they got multiplied into many different call times which I didn't use. I switched provider immediately.Fast forward another year my mother came up with the same suspicion that her billing was engineered and to reduce suspicion from their customers they used numbers that actually have been used instead some random numbers.In one word: %$%#%%%%$

these difficult times will continue for many months ahead

[Tribesman]

Oberon, perhaps not.
Throwing the publication out the window after spending millions trying to shut the story down may yet not be enough.
David Camerons ex-media chief is due to be arrested in the morning regarding what looks like corruption and perjury, News Internationals chief executive looks like she may be not far behind him in the queue and junior Murdoch might also be in the firing line.
But more importantly this scandal is possibly going to be hitting Rupert where it hurts most, in the States.
All that celebrity crap and politicians and petty crime stuff was never going to impact on his business over there, but screwing around with dead soldiers, terrorism victims and murdered schoolkids isn't going to do his business many favours with his fanbase.

British Leader Orders Hacking Inquiries!

LONDON — British police arrested a former editor of The News of the World tabloid on Friday who had also been a senior aide to Prime Minister David Cameron, deepening the crisis swirling around Rupert Murdoch’s news empire over allegations of phone hacking and corruption.

Struggling to contain the biggest scandal since he took office more than a year ago, Mr. Cameron announced two separate inquiries into the revelations, saying “no stone will be left unturned.”

In a statement, Scotland Yard said Andy Coulson, Mr. Cameron’s former director of communications, had been interviewed at a police station in south London and was “currently in custody.”

While his arrest had been expected, it brought a new dimension to the scandal, turning it from one of claim and counter-claim to a question of criminal charges.

A police statement said the former editor had been arrested “on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications” and “on suspicion of corruption allegations.” It said he had been interviewed by officers investigating illegal payments to corrupt police officers and phone hacking.

The arrest came as Mr. Cameron scrambled desperately to contain the fallout from scandal and focus public attention on measures being taken to investigate it. But it was certain to draw renewed taunts by Mr. Cameron’s critics that he showed flawed judgment in hiring Mr. Coulson in 2007. In the past, the prime minister has always vouched for Mr. Coulson’s integrity and said he believed Mr. Coulson’s assurances that he had done nothing wrong.

Rupert Murdoch walked from a hotel to his apartment with his son James Murdoch, left, in central London.

LONDON — Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg on Monday became the most senior official to publicly urge Rupert Murdoch to drop a $12 billion bid by his embattled News Corporation for Britain’s most lucrative satellite broadcast company, British Sky Broadcasting, as the government sought advice on possible regulatory proceedings.

The developments deepened the fallout from The News of the World phone-hacking scandal that has been transformed from a long-simmering controversy into a full-blown crisis swirling around Mr. Murdoch’s British operation, News International, and its chief executive, Rebekah Brooks.

The Guardian reported Monday that journalists throughout the News International empire harassed Gordon Brown over more than 10 years, first as chancellor of the exchequer and later as the Labour prime minister. They tried not only to hack into his voice mail, but also resorted to various underhanded methods to gain access to his bank account, legal files and his family’s medical records, the paper reported.

The furor that has rocked the British establishment erupted last week with reports that The News of the World, the top-selling Sunday tabloid in Mr. Murdoch’s British media empire, hacked into the voice mail of Milly Dowler, a 13-year-old girl who was abducted and murdered in 2002, after she disappeared but before her body was found.

Such was the public outcry against the 168-year-old newspaper that Mr. Murdoch’s family ordered it closed after its final edition appeared on Sunday. Many commentators in Britain saw the closing of the paper as a move to cauterize the phone-hacking crisis and save the bid for the much more profitable British Sky Broadcasting.

Ms. Dowler’s parents met on Monday with Mr. Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, the junior partner in Prime Minister David Cameron’s coalition government. The encounter raised the pressure on Mr. Murdoch, who flew into London on Sunday to take charge of his company’s response to the crisis.

[Gerald]

Certainly a cheap deal, :hmmm:

[Gerald]

The UK's main political parties are set to unite to urge Rupert Murdoch to drop his bid to buy broadcaster BSkyB.

The Tories and Lib Dems are expected to back a Labour motion calling for Mr Murdoch's News Corporation to withdraw the bid while phone hacking at the News of the World is investigated.

The move could ramp up pressure on the media mogul but is not legally binding.

Prime Minister David Cameron is also set to outline to the Commons the remit of a public inquiry into hacking.

His statement will be followed by a Commons debate, which the prime minister will not be attending, Downing Street said.

His spokesman said Mr Cameron would vote - if it came to one - "providing his diary allows".

The support for the motion comes after Mr Cameron met Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband at Downing Street to discuss the hacking scandal on Tuesday.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson is believed to have updated the three men on the current state of the police inquiry into hacking claims when he visited Number 10.

Among the signatories of the motion are the SNP, Plaid Cymru and the Green party.

And here we go:

Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation has announced that it is dropping its planned bid to take full ownership of satellite broadcaster BSkyB.
The announcement came as the House of Commons was preparing to vote for a motion calling on Mr Murdoch to do so.
All three major party leaders had said they supported the motion, which would not be legally binding on News Corp.
The decision follows days of allegations about phone hacking by News Corp subsidiary News International.
"We believed that the proposed acquisition of BSkyB by News Corporation would benefit both companies, but it has become clear that it is too difficult to progress in this climate," said News Corp deputy chairman and president Chase Carey in a statement.
"News Corporation remains a committed long-term shareholder in BSkyB. We are proud of the success it has achieved and our contribution to it."
BSkyB's share price briefly dropped following the announcement to about 4% down for the day, before recovering.
The company has fallen some 20% since peaking a week ago, and is trading at a level not seen since News Corp first announced its bid plans in June last year.
A spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the news: "As the prime minister has said, the business should focus on clearing up the mess and getting its own house in order."
The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, called it "a victory for people up and down this country who have been appalled by the revelations of the phone hacking scandal and the failure of News International to take responsibility".
The BBC's business editor Robert Peston said: "It's a huge humiliation. This was [News Corp's] biggest investment plan of the moment. It was one of the biggest investments they've ever wanted to make.

[Gerald]

News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks will appear infront of MPs to answer questions on the phone-hacking scandal on Tuesday.

News Corp's Rupert Murdoch declined to attend the Commons media committee. His son James said he was unavailable that day. Both have been summonsed by MPs.

Rupert Murdoch has shut down the News of the World newspaper over the scandal and dropped his bid to control BSkyB.

Meanwhile, a 60-year-old man has been arrested over phone hacking.

The BBC understands the man is Neil Wallis, the former executive editor of the News of the World. Mr Wallis was arrested by officers from Operating Weeting on Thursday morning and has been taken for questioning at a police station in west London on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications.

Neil Wallis, a former member of the Editors' Code of Practice Committee, is the ninth person to be arrested since the Metropolitan Police launched a fresh investigation in January.

US politicians are also demanding a probe into phone hacking allegations.

On Tuesday, the Commons culture, media and sport committee invited Mrs Brooks and the Murdochs to give evidence at the House of Commons about the phone-hacking scandal.

In a statement, the MPs said that serious questions had arisen about the evidence Mrs Brooks and Andy Coulson, both of them former News of the World editors, gave at a previous hearing in 2003.

Conservative MP Louise Mensch, who is a member of the committee, said the Murdochs should take the opportunity to appear before it on Tuesday next week.

David Cameron has told MPs that "with hindsight" he would not have hired ex-News of the World editor Andy Coulson.

In the closest he has come to an apology, the PM said: "Of course I regret, and I am extremely sorry, about the furore it has caused."

Mr Coulson quit the NoW over phone hacking, saying he knew nothing about it but took ultimate responsibility.

Amid stormy Commons scenes Labour leader Ed Miliband said hiring him was a "catastrophic error of judgement".

And the prime minister came under pressure from Labour MPs to confirm whether he had any conversations about News Corporation's now aborted bid to fully takeover BSkyB with executives from the company such as Rebekah Brooks, Rupert or James Murdoch.

He had returned early from a trip to Africa to make an emergency statement on the phone hacking crisis.

Mr Cameron said that if Mr Coulson - Mr Cameron's former media spokesman - had lied about phone hacking at his time at the News of the World then he should face "severe" criminal charges.
'Protect himself'

He added: "If it turns out I have been lied to that would be a moment for a profound apology, and in that event I can tell you I will not fall short."

And he told MPs that with hindsight "I would not have offered him the job and I expect that he wouldn't have taken it".

BBC political correspondent Gary O'Donoghue said "bit by bit, Mr Cameron is cutting Mr Coulson further adrift".

But Mr Miliband said Mr Cameron's comments were "not good enough" and said repeated questions about Mr Coulson had been met "with a wall of silence" by Mr Cameron's aides.

But think of us foriegners:up:

So now that Murdoch has announced that they will no longer pay Mulcaires legal feesand he didn't really know who was paying them or why they were paying them or who authorised paying them as Mulcaire wasn't really an employee and wasn't really with News International at all in the slightest nosiree honest guv.....does that mean that Mulcaire is freed from the gagging order that was imposed as part of the deal to pay his fees?
Could it be that Murdoch in attempting to distance the company from the pile of excrement is really jumping right up to his neck in it?

I'm torn between whether Murdoch is a good actor (PA trained/coached) or simply an old man who has lived on a reputation that diminished long ago but was never realised by the media/public.

[Gerald]

Whatever the prime minister did or didn't say in his "appropriate" conversations with the Murdochs and Rebekah Brooks about their bid to take over BSkyB, these would not have been the only ministerial chats on the subject.

The Chancellor George Osborne was, I believe, closer to the Murdochs - certainly to James - than David Cameron.

They share a mutual dislike for Gordon Brown unlike Rupert whose wife Wendi was friends with Sarah Brown and whose two daughters played together with the Browns' children.

In her evidence this week Rebekah Brooks said that it was George Osborne who, in effect, hired Andy Coulson to work for David Cameron - the chancellor all but confirmed that in his FT interview today, saying he was "the first person to approach Mr Coulson".

For days Team Osborne have been assembling a list of his meetings to publish. A decision has now been taken to incorporate them with a list of all cabinet ministers' meetings. I have been enquiring for some days when this will be.

One, in particular, will be worth looking for.

It's a dinner in New York at which Rupert Murdoch and George Osborne were both guests in the run-up to Christmas last year - that's around the very time that Vince Cable lost responsibility for the BSkyB decision.

George is, I am told, entirely relaxed about the information and has told colleagues he didnt make a special trip to the States to see Daddy Murdoch and did not discuss the BSkyB bid.

PS. One note of caution on these lists. They can conceal as much as they reveal.

At least one of the meetings between NI executives and the prime minister was a routine off-the-record journalistic briefing about policy. I know because I was at one of them along with a journalist from another media organisation.

What's more, none of these lists show the texts and calls from mobile phones which - unlike those made from office phones - are not logged or listened in to by civil servants.

David Cameron says James Murdoch "clearly" needs to answer questions from MPs after his evidence on phone hacking was challenged.

Labour's Tom Watson wants a police probe after the evidence was disputed by two ex-News of the World executives.

The News International chairman had said he was not "aware" of an email suggesting hacking went wider than a "rogue" reporter at the firm's paper.

But ex-NoW editor Colin Myler and legal manager Tom Crone said they told him.

Mr Murdoch appeared before MPs on the Commons culture, media and sport select committee on Tuesday alongside his father Rupert Murdoch, chairman of NI's parent company News Corporation.

In a statement later, Mr Murdoch, said: "I stand by my testimony to the select committee."

Following Thursday's statement by Mr Myler and Mr Crone, committee chairman John Whittingdale said Mr Murdoch had agreed to write to the committee on various points he had been unable to address at the hearing.

He said: "I'm sure if the statement suggests there's conflict between what Colin Myler is saying and what he said, we will ask him to answer that as well."

Speaking during a visit in Warwickshire, the prime minister said: "Clearly James Murdoch has got questions to answer in Parliament and I'm sure he will do that.

"And clearly News International has got some big issues to deal with and a mess to clear up, that has to be done by the management of that company."

Labour leader Ed Miliband said: "People will want to look at the comments that were made and want to resolve the different versions of events that we've seen.

There lies the issue, murdochs crowd were only something like 3rd 4th 5th 7th 8th 10th 12 13 14 15 17....on the list of illegal intercepts.
Top were the Daily Mail and then the Mirror.
The real problem was the links from the murdoch hacking and to police corruption and ("alledged") political corruption plus the attempt to cover up the crimes.
What may come into play now is "call me Dave" and his role in his friends alledged perjury in a case against another politician...."attempting to pervert the course of justice" is the term I think.

[Jimbuna]

This is a long way from being over, in fact it's really just begun...we are in for a lot more twists and turns.

What will be interesting is seeing how Cameron tries to dis-associate himself from it all.

LONDON — It was perhaps inevitable that the phone hacking accusations in Britain would cross the Atlantic and reach Piers Morgan, the flamboyant former Fleet Street editor who is now the host of “Piers Morgan Tonight” on CNN.

James Hipwell, a former journalist at The Daily Mirror, a tabloid edited by Mr. Morgan until 2004, now says that phone hacking was “endemic” at the paper. “Piers was extremely hands-on as an editor,” Mr. Hipwell, 45, told the British newspaper The Independent in an interview published Saturday. “I can’t say 100 percent that he knew about it. But it was inconceivable he didn’t.”

In an e-mail interview, Mr. Morgan struck back at that allegation and other suggestions by members of Parliament and a widely read political blog that his reporters had landed scoops at The Daily Mirror based on phone hacking. Members of Parliament have also said that Mr. Morgan should be questioned.

“I have never hacked a phone, told anyone to hack a phone, nor to my knowledge published any story obtained from the hacking of a phone,” Mr. Morgan said. “I am not aware, and have never seen evidence to suggest otherwise, that any Mirror story published during my tenure was obtained from phone hacking.”

The mother of murder victim Sarah Payne has been told she may have been the victim of phone hacking, her charity has said.

Police told Sara Payne her details were in notes compiled by private detective Glenn Mulcaire, who was used by the News of the World, which championed her Sarah's Law child protection campaign.

The Phoenix Chief Advocates charity says Ms Payne is "devastated".

The paper's owner News International has not yet responded to the claims.

According to a a report in the Guardian, the evidence uncovered by police in Mulcaire's notes is believed to relate to a phone given to Ms Payne by the NoW's then editor-Rebekah Brooks "as a gift to help her stay in touch with her supporters".

The BBC has not been able to confirm whether the evidence does relate to this particular mobile.

But Mrs Brooks, who left her role as News International chief executive in the wake of the hacking scandal but denies having had any knowledge of the practice while at the paper, says the phone "was not a personal gift".

In a statement, she said: "These allegations are abhorrent and particularly upsetting as Sara Payne is dear friend.

"For the benefit of the campaign for Sarah's Law, the News of the World have provided Sara with a mobile telephone for the last 11 years...

"The idea that anyone on the newspaper knew that Sara or the campaign team were targeted by Mr Mulcaire is unthinkable. The idea of her being targeted is beyond my comprehension.
