Rebekah Brook's arrest is hugh blow for Murdochs 
17th July 2011




Today's arrest of Rebekah Brooks, who was until Friday the chief executive of News International, represents perhaps the greatest failure to date in the Murdoch-controlled group's campaign for rehabilitating itself.

Because ever since News International and its parent company News Corporation were seriously damaged 13 days ago by the allegation that the phone of the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler was hacked at the instigation of the News of the World, News International has been on an explicit mission to demonstrate that Mrs Brooks was innocent of all wrongdoing.

Although Mrs Brooks was editor of the News of the World at the time of the alleged hacking, she has denied all knowledge of it. And she has denied she was aware of other alleged instances of phone hacking or of bribes allegedly paid to the police.

So the thrust of News International's message to the world was that Mrs Brooks was as shocked as everyone else by disclosures that appear to show that there was a culture at the News of the World of systematically breaching proprieties in the pursuit of stories.

Lightning rod?

If she was guilty of anything, said her colleagues, it was of not knowing what her subordinates were doing.

That ignorance while in positions of authority at News International was ultimately enough to persuade her to resign from the company on Friday - many days after there had been widespread calls, including a demand from her friend, the prime minister, for her to go.

But News International was still insisting she had done nothing fundamentally wrong. She was leaving only because she had become a lightning rod for criticism of the company which made it harder for any kind of equilibrium to be restored in the business. Or so her friends insisted.

To put it another way, the company's version of what happened at the News of the World and who was to blame has been implicitly challenged in a fundamental way by the decision of the Metropolitan Police to arrest her on suspicion of alleged involvement in phone hacking and corruption.

Start Quote

We just don't know what's going to happen next”

News International executive

As a company executive said to me, "we just don't know what's going to happen next".

Rupert and Rebekah

Now there are two reasons why News Corporation and News International were so keen to protect Rebekah Brooks.

First is that there is probably no one involved in the business, whose surname isn't Murdoch, who is as close to Rupert Murdoch, News Corp's chairman, as is Rebekah Brooks.

When they are together, he displays a conspicuous affection for her. "Some would say he is almost as close to Rebekah as he is to his children" said one of their colleagues.

And then there is a second reason why her arrest will be a blow both to Rupert Murdoch and to his son, James Murdoch, her immediate boss as head of News Corp's European operations.

Ignorance does not protect

Her ignorance of what happened at the News of the World reinforced their claims that they too had no knowledge of the alleged scale of abuses by the Sunday tabloid, which was closed down only a week ago.

The importance of today's events is that her claimed ignorance did not prevent her being arrested.

The other point about her arrest is that it is something of a shock to the political establishment, since she was on unusually good and friendly terms with three successive prime ministers, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and the current tenant of 10 Downing Street, David Cameron.

If, as seems likely, her arrest prevents her from giving public evidence on Tuesday to MPs on the culture, media and sport Commons committee, her many friends in high places may be slightly relieved.

In the current climate of criticism of News International, there will be quite a few powerful people who would be pleased if the brightest possible media light isn't shone on their close and personal relationship with Mrs Brooks.

Met Police Commissioner Sir Pauk Stephenson 

quits over Phone Hacking and Police Bribery Scandal.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has resigned following the phone hacking scandal.

Britain's most senior police officer has faced criticism for hiring former News of the World executive Neil Wallis - who was questioned by police investigating hacking - as an adviser.

Sir Paul said his links to the journalist could hamper investigations.

He said there were lessons to be learned from the affair, but he was leaving with his integrity intact.

He also said he had no knowledge of the extent of the phone hacking.

Home Secretary Theresa May said she was "sorry" he had resigned and thanked him for all the work he had done during his time in office.

Earlier, she said she would address MPs on Monday about her "concerns" over the closeness of the relationship between News International and police.

'Great sadness'

Sir Paul said in a statement: "I have taken this decision as a consequence of the ongoing speculation and accusations relating to the Met's links with News International at a senior level and in particular in relation to Mr Neil Wallis."

He added: "Let me state clearly, I and the people who know me know that my integrity is completely intact.

"I may wish we had done some things differently, but I will not lose sleep over my personal integrity."

In other developments:

  • Ex-News International chief executiveRebekah Brooks is arrested by policeinvestigating phone hacking and bribery at the News of the World
  • Labour leader Ed Miliband calls for new media ownership rules to limit Rupert Murdoch's "dangerous" and "unhealthy" concentration of power
  • An advert placed by News International in national newspapers on Sunday describes how the company is "putting right what's gone wrong"
  • Several Sunday newspapers feature promotions in an attempt to woo former readers of the News of the World, which was the UK's best-selling newspaper
  • News International says it has set up an independent management and standards committee to see how the company can prevent similar instances happening again
  • John Whittingdale, chairman of the Commons media select committee, says former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks will probably be spoken to separately from Rupert and James Murdoch on Tuesday when they appear before MPs, adding that the committee should not act as a "lynch mob"

Sir Paul has also faced questions over his stay with his wife at a luxury health spa which employed Mr Wallis.

The journalist was working as a public relations consultant for Champneys spa when Sir Paul recuperated from surgery there earlier this year.

The Met acknowledged Sir Paul had stayed there for free while he recovered from a fractured leg caused by an operation to remove a pre-cancerous tumour.

Sir Paul said he had informed Buckingham Palace, Ms May and London Mayor Boris Johnson about his decision.

Mr Johnson said he accepted the resignation with "great sadness and reluctance" and he had no reason to doubt his "complete integrity".

"I believe him to be a fine, passionate and committed public servant who has done a huge amount of good for our city," he said.

'Brave decision'

The chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee - Keith Vaz - said he was "genuinely shocked" by the announcement.

"He was very keen that people realised that his integrity was intact, and I think what he basically said was, he was concerned about the leadership of the Met at this time," he said.

"It is a very brave decision, and I'm shocked by it, actually, because I don't think there's anything in the statement in particular that points to any wrongdoing or inappropriateness on the part of the commissioner."

Shadow Culture Secretary Ivan Lewis said Sir Paul had made the right decision and done the "honourable thing".

"He recognises that things have happened on his watch, which mean there will always be questions about his leadership," he said.

Sir Paul hired former News of the World deputy editor Mr Wallis as a PR consultant for the Met.

His media consultancy company - Chamy Media - was used by the force from October 2009 until September last year.

He was paid £24,000 to work as a two-day-a-month PR, until his contract was cancelled four months before the launch of the Operation Weeting investigation into phone hacking began in January this year.

As part of the contract, Mr Wallis advised the Commissioner's Office, and the Directorate of Public Affairs and Specialist Operations, working closely with Assistant Commissioner John Yates, who led an earlier Met inquiry into News of the World phone hacking.

Hacking: Miliband and Clegg seek media ownership limits

Labour leader Ed Miliband has called for new media ownership rules to limit Rupert Murdoch's "dangerous" and "unhealthy" concentration of power.

He told the Observer Mr Murdoch's large market share led to "abuses of power".

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg backed new ownership rules to foster more press diversity but said an independent inquiry should be completed first.

The calls follow last week's closure of the News of the World, which Mr Murdoch owned, amid claims of phone hacking.

With that closure, the Sun, the Times, the Sunday Times and 39% of digital broadcaster BSkyB remain in the News Corporation stable.

Under pressure from the entire British political establishment, Mr Murdoch dropped plans to buy out the rest of British Sky Broadcasting.

Calling for new ownership rules, Mr Miliband said: "I think that we've got to look at the situation whereby one person can own more than 20% of the newspaper market, the Sky platform and Sky News.

"I think it's unhealthy because that amount of power in one person's hands has clearly led to abuses of power within his organisation.

"If you want to minimise the abuses of power then that kind of concentration of power is frankly quite dangerous."

He told the Observer that current media ownership rules were outdated, describing them as "analogue rules for a digital age" that do not take into account the advent of mass digital and satellite broadcasting.

Meanwhile, the deputy prime minister echoed the calls for media ownership changes expressed by Mr Miliband.

He told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show there was a need to "look again in the round at the plurality rules to make sure there is proper plurality in the British press".

"A healthy press is a diverse one, where you've got lots of different organisations competing, and that's exactly what we need," he said.

The Liberal Democrat leader said his party had been calling for the change for years but said he was "very happy to sit down" with Mr Miliband.

"The judge-led inquiry will, of course, during the course of a year, produce some ideas about what we should do - and then I think if we can act on it on a cross-party basis. as we did last week in the House of Commons, all the better," he said.

However, Defence Secretary Liam Fox told Sky News' Murnaghan programme that "politicians would be wise at the moment not to over-react", adding that it was "time for calmness and for people to look at these issues, yes seriously, but in a proper timescale and without hysteria".

He said further regulation of the press should only happen if it was "absolutely necessary".

"I think we have to be proportionate about how we deal with any of these issues, it can't be simply about jumping on bandwagons and getting today's headlines."

In other developments:

  • Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has resigned, having faced criticism for hiring former News of the World executive Neil Wallis as an adviser. Mr Wallis is one of 10 people arrested by police investigating phone hacking claims
  • An advert placed by News International in national newspapers on Sunday describes how the company is "putting right what's gone wrong"
  • Several Sunday newspapers feature promotions in an attempt to woo former readers of the News of the World, which was the UK's best selling newspaper
  • News International says it has set up an independent management and standards committee to see how the company can prevent similar instances happening again
  • John Whittingdale, chairman of the Commons media select committee, says former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks will probably be spoken to separately from Rupert and James Murdoch on Tuesday when they appear before MPs, adding that the committee should not act as a "lynch mob"
  • News International has asked law firm Olswang to carry out an investigation and a former High Court judge is overseeing the company's compensation scheme for hacking victims

Various celebrities including actress Sienna Miller and football pundit Andy Gray have accepted damages from the compensation fund, believed to be worth £20m.

The Liberal Democrats have written to media regulator Ofcom calling for it to investigate whether the owners of the BSkyB licence are "fit and proper" following the allegations around News Corp.

Lib Dem deputy leader Simon Hughes, media spokesman Don Foster and party president Tim Farron have asked the watchdog to investigate in light of "the manifest public concern about News International's activities, the close integration of News International with its parent company News Corporation, (and) News Corp's effective control of BSkyB".

A spokeswoman for Ofcom said: "We received this letter early on Friday evening. We will be considering our response next week."

She added that the regulator was continuing to gather information and has already written "to a number of relevant authorities and can confirm that follow-up meetings will now be taking place."

What is next for News Corp

Rather, it is as a source of influence over public opinion and politics.

And from this standpoint, its value to News Corp may already have been destroyed by the phone hacking scandal.

The crisis is already threatening to spread to News International's other titles, with former prime minister Gordon Brown accusing the Sunday Times of hiring criminals to target him personally - allegations rejected by the company.

There is talk that the entire business could now be put up for sale.

But, as the BBC's business editor Robert Peston points out, the scandal has hurt the entire UK newspaper industry, making News International less attractive to potential buyers.

"The question is, who is going to pay him the price that they are worth? He will not want to sell those papers at a loss."

Ownership of BSkyB

The future of BSkyB has been thrown wide open since Mr Murdoch dropped his planned bid to take full ownership of the UK satellite broadcaster.

The firm has become a mature, cash-generating business, with profits of £917m in the 12 months to March this year.

If all goes well for the media tycoon, he might just be able to revive the bid in a year or two, though BSkyB's share price suggests markets see no immediate prospect.

"News Corp has an enormous understanding of the business," says Ms Wise. "The Murdoch family are very long-term players. They have a reputation for coming back... They are consummate deal-makers."

But things may well get worse for News Corp.

If police bring criminal charges against News Corp management in the coming months, regulator Ofcom could deem the conglomerate no longer to be a "fit and proper person" to hold a UK broadcasting licence.

In that case, Mr Murdoch's firm may be forced to give up all control over a company he co-founded and in which he retains a 39% stake.

UK investigations

News Corp now faces formal scrutiny in the UK at three levels.

A parliamentary select committee has summonsed Rebekah Brooks, as well as Rupert Murdoch himself and his son James, to give testimony under threat of perjury.

All three have now agreed to appear.

The worst News Corp can expect from the hearings is public humiliation.

A renewed police investigation into phone hacking and alleged payments to police officers, may result in criminal charges in the autumn against more employees of NoW.

More worryingly, the investigation could spread beyond NoW to other papers owned by the group.

But the biggest challenge to News Corp may come from the public inquiry headed by Lord Justice Leveson.

It could result in a major tightening up of the rules that govern the behaviour, ownership and regulation of the media in the UK.

In particular, the government may legislate to limit a company's share across all media, according to analyst Claire Enders - something that could hurt News Corp in particular.


Investigations in other countries

An even bigger threat to News Corp could be looming across the Atlantic, where the hacking scandal has become big news.

Senior US Congressmen from both parties have called for two sets of criminal inquiries:

  1. for the FBI to investigate whether US citizens were victims of phone hacking by NoW, in breach of wiretap laws
  2. for the Justice Department to decide whether alleged payments to British police could mean that News Corp itself - as a US company - broke anti-corruption laws.

The big question is whether the investigations translate into a threat to News Corp's US broadcasting licence, as it has done in the UK, according to analyst Alan Gould of US investment firm Evermore Partners.

About a third of News Corp's revenues come from US television.

"The US television business is of big and growing profitability for the company," he says, unlike its loss-making US newspapers.

Meanwhile, the Australian prime minister Julia Gillard is mulling whether to open her own inquiry into media regulation and ownership.

The boss of News Corp subsidiary News Limited, which runs more than 20 papers and websites in the country has already opened an internal investigation to uncover any misconduct.

The Management

The hacking scandal has already claimed several scalps, including that of Andy Coulson twice - first as NoW editor in 2007, then as communications director to the prime minister, David Cameron, this year.


Rupert Murdoch was accused ofaxing NoW in order to save Mrs Brooks

Also gone is Rebekah Brooks, who was NoW editor when the company allegedly hacked the voicemail of teenage murder victim Milly Dowler.

Much of Mr Murdoch's manoeuvring during the hacking scandal has been interpreted as an attempt to protect her.

Indeed, after he chose to close down the 168-year-old tabloid, staff accused him of sacrificing the red-top in order to save Mrs Brooks.

Even the position of Mr Murdoch's son and heir apparent, James, may be at risk, with calls led by shareholder advisory group PIRC, for him to be replaced as chairman of BSkyB.

"We live in a culture in which people at the top, whether guilty or not, carry the can," says Claire Enders.

Senior management could now find themselves in a double-bind, seen as either culpable for covering the scandal up, or incompetent for not tackling it much earlier.

Change at the top

Mr Murdoch is now 80 years old.

If his son James is seen as gaining control of the situation, Mr Murdoch could finally make way for him.

However, there are now moves afoot to curtail the Murdoch family's control over their firm.

A group of News Corp shareholders are suing News Corp executives, accusing them of nepotism for overpaying when they bought Shine Group, a British TV production firm, from Rupert Murdoch's daughter Elisabeth.

The American investors have expanded their lawsuit in light of the NoW scandal, to accuse News Corp's board of providing "no effective review or oversight" and permitting a "culture run amok".

According to stock analyst Alan Gould, many outside shareholders - who collectively own 62% of News Corp - would like to see more power transferred from the family to News Corp's president Chase Carey.

But unlike the ouster of Tony Hayward at BP, shareholders at News Corp do not traditionally have the final say.

"There is no precedent here," says media analyst Claire Enders. "Shareholders in the US have no clue what to do if Murdoch is seen as damaging the company."



Rebekah Brooks arrested over phone-hacking allegations

Rebekah Brooks has been arrested by police investigating allegations of phone hacking by the News of the World and allegations that police officers were bribed to leak sensitive information.

The Metropolitan police said a 43-year-old woman was arrested at noon on Sunday, by appointment at a London police station.

Brooks, 43, resigned on Friday as News International's chief executive. She is a former News of the World editor and was close to Rupert Murdoch and the prime minister, David Cameron.

A spokesman for Brooks said she did not know she was going to be arrested when she handed in her resignation.

Brooks was taken into custody at midday on Sunday, after agreeing to attend a London police station for questioning. Her spokesman, Bell Pottinger chairman David Wilson, said she did not know she was to meet with police until late on Friday, and that she did not know the appointment would result in her arrest.

The News International chief executive announced her immediate departure from the company on Friday morning. She had agreed to give evidence this coming Tuesday to the culture select committee's inquiry into allegations of phone-hacking at the News of the World.

Her lawyers are currently in discussion with the committee about whether she should attend. Wilson said: "It's left Rebekah in a very difficult position and has left the committee in a very difficult position".

An arrest by appointment on a Sunday by police is unusual.

In a statement the Met said: "The MPS [Metropolitan police service] has this afternoon, Sunday 17 July, arrested a female in connection with allegations of corruption and phone hacking.

"At approximately 12.00 a 43-year-old woman was arrested by appointment at a London police station by officers from Operation Weeting [phone hacking investigation] together with officers from Operation Elveden [bribing of police officers investigation]. She is currently in custody.

"She was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications, contrary to Section1(1) Criminal Law Act 1977 and on suspicion of corruption allegations contrary to Section 1 of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1906.

"The Operation Weeting team is conducting the new investigation into phone hacking.

"Operation Elveden is the investigation into allegations of inappropriate payments to police. This investigation is being supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

"It would be inappropriate to discuss any further details regarding these cases at this time."

Ex-British Murdoch Executive Rebekah Brooks Arrested








By OLIVIA KATRANDJIAN
  

Rupert Murdoch's protégé Rebekah Brooks, who previously ran his British tabloids was arrested today in London in connection with the phone hacking scandal.Brooks' arrest comes as she "voluntarily attended a London police station to assist with their ongoing investigation," according to a statement released on her behalf, The Associated Press reported.
  Authorities are questioning Brooks on suspicion of conspiring phone hacking and on suspicion of corruption.Brooks spokesman David Wilson told the AP that Brooks' meeting with the police was arranged but "not aware she was going to be arrested."
 Brooks who had refused to resign over the scandal, stepped down from her post as head of Murdoch's British newspaper division, News International on Friday. "Obviously this complicates matter greatly," Wilson told the AP. "Her legal team will have to have discussions with the committee to see whether it would still be appropriate for her to attend."

Critical Time for Murdoch

  Brooks' arrest comes at a critical time for Murdoch.On Tuesday, British lawmakers are expected to grill the media baron when he testifies in front of Parliament.
  Each passing day has brought new revelation in this scandal, and the shockwaves are quickly spreading across Murdoch's sprawling empire, which includes television and newspaper properties spanning the globe, and a key stake in the U.S.In turn, Murdoch has had to do some unprecedented damage control.
  "I was appalled to find out what had happened and I apologized and I have nothing further to say," said Murdoch.On Friday, Murdoch apologized to the family of Milly Dowler, a teen murdered in 2002.
  Earlier this month, it was revealed the girl's voicemail had been allegedly hacked and messages deleted by a reporter from one of Murdoch's papers.After the meeting, the Dowler family emerged with their lawyer, who described Murdoch's tone as humble.
  "Yes he did apologize. He apologized many times. I don't think somebody could have held their head in their hands and said sorry so many times," said Mark Lewis, the Dowler family's lawyer.On Saturday, there were more apologies.
  "The News of the World was in the business of holding others to account. It failed when it came to itself. We are sorry," according to an ad signed by Murdoch.The ad appeared in every London newspaper.
 Last Sunday, Murdoch shut down his profitable tabloid, "The News of the World," mired in allegations of criminal activity.
  The scandal has even crossed the Atlantic.Les Hinton, the head of the company that operates the Wall Street Journal, resigned Friday. He was in charge in London when much of the alleged criminal activity took place.
  There is also a connection to 9/11: allegations that Murdoch's reporters tried to tap the phones of 9/11 victims in search of yet more sensational headlines."Many, many innocent men, women, and children their private tears bought and sold by News International for commercial gain," said Gordon Brown, the former British Prime Minister.
 This week, the government established a judicial inquiry to look at criminal activity, media ethics, and media ownership. No longer intimidated by Murdoch, British politicians are putting his empire under the microscope.

UK Govt Defends Murdoch Ties as Scandal Spirals

Britain's Conservative-led government denied Saturday that it was too close to Rupert Murdoch's scandal-hit media empire, as the mogul apologized for phone hacking by one of his tabloids in full-page newspaper ads across the country.

Government records show that Prime Minister David Cameron has had scores of meetings with media executives in the past year, including 26 with Murdoch or his employees. But Foreign Secretary William Hague said Saturday he was not embarrassed "in any way" by the government's relationship with Murdoch executives. "I'm not embarrassed by it in any way, but there is something wrong here in this country and it must be put right," Hague said. "It's been acknowledged by the prime minister and I think that's the right attitude to take."

British police, too, faced growing pressure over the links between senior officers and Murdoch executives.

Rupert Murdoch's son James, his former British CEO Rebekah Brooks and ex-News of the World editor Andy Coulson all stayed at the prime minister's country home, Chequers.

Coulson's stay in March came two months after he resigned as Cameron's communications chief amid the spiraling phone hacking and police bribery scandal. Critics said that invitation showed poor judgment on Cameron's part and revealed the cozy relationship between political leaders and Murdoch's powerful media empire. Coulson was arrested in the scandal last week.

"It's not surprising that in a democratic country there is some contact between leaders" and media chiefs, he told the BBC,  

Cameron acknowledged last week that the relationship between politicians, the media and the police in Britain had grown too close and must be changed.

Hague said Cameron had invited Coulson to Chequers "to thank him for his work, he's worked for him for several years, that is a normal, human thing to do."

Coulson is one of nine people arrested and questioned by police over what they knew about phone hacking at the News of the World, the 168-year-old tabloid shut down by Murdoch last week after the scale of its illegal hacking became clear. No one has been charged.

Murdoch is struggling to contain the scandal, which has scuttled his bid for lucrative TV broadcaster BSkyB and knocked billions off the value of his News Corp. empire. On Friday, the scandal claimed the jobs of Brooks and another senior Murdoch aide, Wall Street Journal publisher Les Hinton.

News Corp. made a public act of contrition Saturday, placing an ad in seven British national newspapers with the headline "We are sorry." Signed by Murdoch, it apologized "for the serious wrongdoing that occurred."

"We are deeply sorry for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected. We regret not acting faster to sort things out," it said.

The company plans to take out more ads in the coming days outlining its next steps — part of a new strategy by the once all-powerful mogul. A front-page headline in the Murdoch-owned The Times on Saturday read "Day of atonement."

Murdoch on Friday met with the family of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, whose phone was hacked by the News of the World in 2002. The revelation that journalists had accessed her phone in search of scoops while police were looking for the missing 13-year-old fueled an explosion of interest in the long-simmering scandal about illegal eavesdropping.

The 80-year-old mogul said "as founder of the company I was appalled to find out what had happened and I apologized."

The phones of celebrities, royal aides, politicians and top athletes are also alleged to have been hacked, and police are investigating whether the scandal also reached to the victims of London's 2005 terrorist bombings and the families of dead British soldiers.

Hinton, 67, was the first Murdoch executive in the U.S. to be affected by the scandal. A staunch ally who has worked for Murdoch for more than half a century, Hinton announced he was stepping down immediately as publisher of the Wall Street Journal and chief executive of Dow Jones & Co.

Hinton was chairman of Murdoch's British newspaper arm during some of the years its staffers are alleged to have hacked into cell phones. Still, he had testified to a parliamentary committee in 2007 and 2009 that he had seen no evidence that abuses had spread beyond a single jailed reporter, Clive Goodman.

Hinton said Friday that "the pain caused to innocent people (by hacking) is unimaginable."

"That I was ignorant of what apparently happened is irrelevant," he said.

Murdoch's British lieutenant, Rebekah Brooks, also stepped down Friday. Brooks said she was stepping aside because her status as "a focal point of the debate" was interfering with "our honest endeavors to fix the problems of the past,"

Tom Mockridge, the head of Sky Italia, was installed to replace Brooks as CEO at News International, the British newspaper arm of Rupert Murdoch's global News Corp.

The loss of two top aides ended a rough week for Murdoch, who faces more pressure Tuesday when he, his son James and Brooks all face questioning by a U.K. parliamentary committee investigating phone hacking and police bribery.

Cameron also has appointed a judge to conduct a sweeping inquiry into criminal activity at the News of the World and in the British media.

British police are also under pressure to explain why their original hacking investigation failed to find enough evidence to prosecute anyone other than Goodman and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire. Detectives reopened the investigation earlier this year and now say they have the names of 3,700 potential victims.

Records show that senior officers — including Paul Stephenson, the current chief of the London force — have had numerous meals and meetings with News International executives in the past few years.

The Guardian newspaper, which has covered the story extensively and broke news of the Dowler hacking, said Saturday that senior officers tried to persuade its editors in 2009 and 2010 to tone down the paper's coverage of the scandal, saying the stories were inaccurate and exaggerated the scale of phone hacking.

Neil Wallis, a former News of the World executive editor arrested and questioned this week about phone hacking, was employed as a part-time PR consultant by the police force at the time.

The government says the judge-led inquiry will look into the police decision to hire Wallis.

Murdoch is eager to stop the crisis from spreading to the United States, where the FBI has opened an inquiry into whether 9/11 victims or their families were targeted by News Corp. papers.

Murdoch's News Corp. empire includes Fox News, the 20th Century Fox movie studio, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and three British newspapers — The Sun, The Times and The Sunday Times.

Newspaper analyst Ken Doctor said Friday's departures of Brooks and Hinton show Murdoch is "trying to build a firewall between the past and the future of News Corp."

It also suggests that Murdoch doesn't want the Wall Street Journal, one of the world's most respected newspapers, to get tarred in a scandal involving the tawdry behavior of journalists at a British tabloid.

Protecting the Journal's reputation has become more important to Murdoch now that his political influence in Britain has been diminished. Doctor believes it's likely News Corp. will sell all of its British newspapers.

"He has lost his power in Britain and he is never going to get it back in this lifetime, so there is no longer a reason for him to own News International," Doctor said. "The movie studio and cable TV is what's really important to protect now."

Murdoch Hack Attack: More Papers Caught in Scandal


Fresh allegations that not one but three of Rupert Murdoch's newspapers have been involved in illegal activities have marred the media mogul's multi-billion dollar deal to buy full control of British Sky Broadcasting. Many analysts believe the deal may be dead in the water.

  Monday's allegations that News International's Sunday Times and Sun newspapers allegedly used deception to try to obtain former Prime Minister Gordon Brown's private financial records were the latest in an unfolding scandal that saw Murdoch's News of the World fold last Sunday.The Sunday Times allegedly had details that Brown obtained an apartment from controversial publishing magnate and former member of parliament Robert Maxwell for a "knock-down price," according to the BBC.
  Brown told the BBC that he believes the paper was "trying to prove a point," that it was "completely wrong" and wanted to bring him down in his then role as Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer."I'm genuinely shocked to find that this happened because of the links with criminals, known criminals, who were undertaking this activity, hired by investigators who were working for the Sunday Times, Brown said in an interview with the BBC.
  The Sun went much further when it allegedly stole Brown's family's medical records. Though no one but his family knew in 2006 that Brown's newborn baby son, Fraser, had cystic fibrosis, the Sun splashed the exclusive across its front page in November 2006."Sarah and I were incredibly upset about it," said Brown. "We were thinking about his long-term future, we were thinking about our family," Brown told BBC News, adding that he was in tears when he was told by News International journalists that the Sun had the information about his son's condition.
  The Sun claimed that "the story was used to increase national understanding of the condition, in partnership with the Cystic Fibrosis Trust."News International was allegedly aware as far back as 2007 about questionable practices used by the News of the World to obtain the confidential information about the royals. Such a breach, if true, represents a huge lapse in security and a threat to Queen Elizabeth.
  If News Corp., the Murdoch conglomerate that includes News International, did know of News of the World's practices, it did nothing.In emails received by police last month, Clive Goodman -- the paper's recently arrested royals reporter -- requested cash from the now-deposed editor Andy Coulson to buy a top secret directory called the "Green Book," according to the BBC. The directory contained all the confidential phone numbers of the royal family and their staff.
"If, as alleged, somebody has taken money not only to disclose telephone numbers not only of the royal family but also of their staff and their friends, then it's an appalling breach of security," said Dai Davies, former head of royal protection. In the email, Goodman allegedly said that a royal protection officer had stolen a copy and wanted £1000 for it.

Murdoch's Deal: Dead in the Water?

The British government signaled Monday that it would delay -- and possibly halt -- Murdoch's $19 billion deal to purchase BSkyB as a result of the public outrage surrounding the growing scandal. The unfolding scandal couldn't come at a worst time for Murdoch, who days ago believed he would be closing one of the biggest deals of his life. The worldwide media mogul was on the verge of buying full control of British Sky Broadcasting, Britain's biggest commercial network.

Wall Street Journal Publisher, Les Hinton, Resigns



                        
In Hinton's resignation letter, obtained by the website All Things D, Hinton maintained he was unaware of the inappropriate action that occurred when he was chairman of News International.  Earlier today, Rebekah Brooks, one of Murdoch's closest confidants and chief executive of his British newspapers, resigned her post. She was editor of News of the World when the incidents of phone hacking and bribery allegedly occurred. Dow Jones CEO Les Hinton resigned today, making him the second high-ranking casualty in less than 24 hours in a journalistic scandal that has jeopardized Rupert Murdoch's multibillion-dollar empire. "I have watched with sorrow from New York as the News of the World story has unfolded," he wrote. "I have seen hundreds of news reports of both actual and alleged misconduct during the time I was executive chairman of News International and responsible for the company.  In a statement of his own, Murdoch wrote, "That this passage has come to an unexpected end, professionally, not personally, is a matter of much sadness to me.""The pain caused to innocent people is unimaginable," he added. "That I was ignorant of what apparently happened is irrelevant and in the circumstances I feel it is proper for me to resign from News Corp., and apologize to those hurt by the actions of the News of the World."
  Hinton and Murdoch have worked together for more than 50 years.Both Brooks and Hinton's resignations come on a day when Murdoch was in damage control mode, trying to gain the upper-hand on a scandal that has scarred his brand.
  Today, he met with the family of Milly Dowler -- victims of his company's newsgathering transgressions -- and on Saturday Murdoch plans to run a personal apology in U.K. newspapers.Dowler went missing in 2002 and an investigator from Murdoch's now-defunct Sunday tabloid, News of the World, reportedly hacked her cell phone for a juicy story while her parents and police desperately searched for her. The hacker, hoping to get a new lead on the story, apparently deleted messages when Dowler's voicemail was full, giving the Dowlers a false hope that their daughter could still be alive. Dowler's body was found months later.
 "They can forgive, but they cannot forget," Lewis said. According to Lewis, there was absolutely no discussion of financial compensation.   Following the meeting, Murdoch said he apologized to the Dowlers. The family's lawyer, Mark Lewis, told the media that the apology was genuine and heartfelt.The Dowlers first learned their daughter's phone was hacked last week when it was reported by the Guardian newspaper. The revelation enraged the U.K. and brought other alleged incidents of hacking and bribery to light.
  This weekend, Murdoch plans to publish an apology that will be carried in all national U.K. newspapers under the headline, "We are sorry," News International announced."We are sorry for the serious wrongdoing that occurred. We are deeply sorry for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected," the text will read, according to News International. "The News of the World was in the business of holding others to account. It failed when it came to itself."
  Originally Murdoch had defended Brooks publicly in the wake of the scandal and previously refused to accept her resignation. But as News Corp.'s bottom line suffered, Murdoch's position changed.According to the Daily Telegraph, Murdoch's daughter, Elisabeth, harshly criticized Brooks' handling of the scandal. Elisabeth Murdoch told friends privately that Brooks had "f----- the company," the Telegraph reported.
  Brooks said she resigned because her position as CEO of News International had become a distraction for the parent company, News Corp., and she said she would now focus on refuting the allegations."I have believed that the right and responsible action has been to lead us through the heat of the crisis. However my desire to remain on the bridge has made me a focal point of the debate," Brooks wrote in email to colleagues on Friday that was released by News International. "This is now detracting attention from all our honest endeavors to fix the problems of the past."
 Brooks was known as tough, smart, fiercely competitive and loyal to a fault. She wasn't just another executive in the Rupert Murdoch empire, she worked with him for more than two decades. He referred to her as his daughter, was said to buy her lavish gifts and preferred a country pub dinner with her to another high-powered meeting with business leaders and politicians. Brooks, who took control of News International's four British papers in 2007, on Thursday agreed to answer questions before a U.K. parliamentary committee next week.

BBC: Rebekah Brooks arrested 


Click here to Read: News of the World scandal: It shouldn't have happened, Murdoch admits


by hacking London Met  police

Ex-News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks has been arrested by police investigating phone hacking and bribery at the News of the World.

The 43-year-old was arrested by appointment at a London police station and remains in custody.

She was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications and on suspicion of corruption.

She quit News International on Friday as pressure mounted over her role in the deepening scandal.

Mrs Brooks was editor of the paper between 2000 and 2003, during which time the phone belonging to murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler was tampered with.

BBC Business Editor Robert Peston said News International was not aware that Mrs Brooks would be arrested when her resignation was being discussed at the company on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. She eventually resigned on Friday.

Mr Peston added: "It's certainly the most extraordinary development. Rebekah Brooks is incredibly close to the most powerful people in the UK - the current prime minister, the previous prime ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. More or less every senior person of influence within Britain."

He said it could now potentially jeopardise her appearance at the Parliamentary Select Committee on Tuesday, where she is due to answer MPs questions on the hacking scandal.

"I would assume having been arrested it's now almost impossible for her to appear. It's very difficult for MPs to ask her questions that wouldn't be seen to be impinging on the police investigation."

In other developments:

  • Home Secretary Theresa May is to tell MPs about her "concerns" overthe Metropolitan Police's hiring of ex-News of the World journalist Neil Wallis, who is currently on bail over phone hacking allegations
  • Labour leader Ed Miliband calls for new media ownership rules to limit Rupert Murdoch's "dangerous" and "unhealthy" concentration of power
  • An advert placed by News International in national newspapers on Sunday describes how the company is "putting right what's gone wrong"
  • Several Sunday newspapers feature promotions in an attempt to woo former readers of the News of the World, which was the UK's best-selling newspaper
  • News International says it has set up an independent management and standards committee to see how the company can prevent similar instances happening again
Committee appointment

Mrs Brooks's arrest is the tenth made by Operation Weeting police, who are conducting the current investigation into phone hacking.

Those arrested and bailed by police as part of the new investigationhave included ex-NoW editor Andy Coulson, ex-NoW assistant editor Ian Edmondson, ex-NoW chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck, senior ex-NoW journalist James Weatherup, freelance journalist Terenia Taras, Press Association journalist Laura Elston, an unnamed 63-year-old man, and ex-NoW royal editor Clive Goodman.

Officers from Operation Elveden were also involved with this latest arrest. They are investigating allegations of inappropriate payments to police, an inquiry which is being supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

A spokesman for Mrs Brooks says the Met police notified her on Friday, after her resignation had been agreed, that she would be arrested.

He also said her arrest would make her appearance at the committee "pretty tricky" and that said she had been offering to speak to police on voluntary basis since January, so she was "very surprised" to learn she would be arrested.

Her former boss, News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch, and his son James Murdoch, chairman of News International, are also due to appear before MPs.

Grave situation

Media analyst Steve Hewlett says the timing of these latest events may have been an attempt to limit the damage done to News International.

"To have a very senior executive of the company arrested would have been rather worse than having a very senior former executive of the company, albeit only just," he said.

"If that's correct, then it may even be that even the latest move by News Corporation to kind of stem the tide - with the resignations of Les Hinton in America and Rebekah Brooks - even that may have been forced on them by events beyond their control.

"Which would raise yet further questions about whether News Corporation have even now really understood and accepted the gravity of the situation that they're facing."

The assistant editor of the Guardian, Michael White, believes the arrest is an attempt by police to deflect attention away from them.

"I'm wary when the police are trying to show the world they have been on the case, because for two or three years they've not been on this case properly and now they're, perhaps they're over compensating a bit to be honest," he said.


What the Daily Mail Says on Rebekah Brooks(Wade):

Rebekah Brooks, the schmoozer hated by Murdoch's wife and daughter

 16th July 2011

Who would have imagined when Lewis Carroll wrote Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland in 1865 that the Cheshire village of Daresbury where he lived would one day produce its own real-life Alice?

Her name was Rebekah Wade (now Brooks) and her tugboat-man father could have had no idea when his only child was born in 1968 that she would step — or rather schmooze — into a world of princes, prime ministers and proprietors, every bit as hazardous as Alice’s.

This was the media wonderland run by Rupert Murdoch, and until yesterday he made sure that no harm would come to the girl he has virtually treated as another daughter (he has four real daughters, from three marriages).

No love lost: Elisabeth Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks are not close friends and Ms Murdoch has even suggested in the wake of the scandal that she has f***** the company

No love lost: Elisabeth Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks are not close friends and Ms Murdoch has even suggested in the wake of the scandal that she has f***** the company

Asked for his priority when arriving in Britain on the day he shut the News of the World to handle the phone hacking and police-bribing scandals, he gestured at the smiling, ever-attendant Rebekah standing next to him and replied: ‘This one.’ So the grief and frustration felt by the 80-year-old mogul would have been immense yesterday as his cherished Rebekah bowed to the inevitable and resigned from her role as News International’s chief executive.

How different things might have been had she stepped down at the start of the crisis. It might have stopped the News of the World closing and hundreds working there from losing their jobs.

World’s Rebekah Brooks and Rupert Murdoch now become the hunted

By

PAUL ALLEN

,

IrishCentral.com Contributing Writer*

http://www.irishcentral.com/news/News-of-the-Worlds-Rebekah-Brooks-and-Rupert-Mu

The hunter has now become the hunted. Rebekah Brooks, who must have sent wave after wave of tabloid hacks to doorstep the rich and famous while editor of the Sun and News of the World, is now getting some of her own medicine.

But as the media spotlight on her continues to burn brightly, she has finally resigned declaring she no longer wants to be the “focal point of the debate” surrounding the future of Murdoch’s much maligned media empire. Oh, how the world must be shedding a tear for her.

It is not yet clear why Brooks’ resignation was suddenly accepted by Murdoch.  The media tycoon had stood steadfastly by her despite calls from politicians and the family of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler for her to go.

So why has Brooks finally been allowed to fall on her own sword, a week after the innocent employees of the now defunct News of the World were given their marching orders even though they were not involved in the phone hacking crisis?

It is clear that Brook’s beeline to the exit door early today shows that Murdoch in no longer calling all the shots.

The Saudi investor that owns 7pc of News Corporation, Prince al-Waleed bin Talal al Saud, told Newsnight: “I will not accept to deal with a company that has a lady or a man that has any sliver of doubts on her integrity”.

Even Murdoch’s own daughter Elisabeth sees the writing on the wall and told friends that Brooks had “f***** the company.” But she should not be cast as some kind of a scapegoat in this ugly drama.

Murdoch’s main problem is he is out of touch and floundering to deal with the crisis because he is trying to play the new media game using old media rules.

In the heyday of the traditional press, such a crisis would have been a slow-burning affair, each installment of which would have been exposed each day to meet the cycle of daily print deadlines. Now that this 24-hour news cycle no longer exists, the 24/7 media, fuelled by the Internet and social media, hungrily mauls over the minutiae minute-by-minute and hour-by-hour.

So, dramatically grand gestures like the closing of the News of the World or the arrival of Murdoch to London to sort this mess out, no longer frame headlines that last throughout the day and set the 24-hour news agenda in stone. Now, such transparent and self-serving gestures are picked apart and often raise more questions than answers.

Murdoch’s outmoded approach is seeing the sandal unraveling like a slowly peeling onion causing plenty of tears for all concerned.

down on the phone Murdoch-News Corp.-News International-Phone Hacking Police Bribery Scandal and what the real reason not disclosed to the public as to why Rupert and James Murdoch News International and News Corp. had to close the News of the World

7 July 2011

This Sunday's edition of the News of the World will be its last, News International chairman James Murdoch has said, after days of increasingly damaging allegations against the paper.

The 168-year-old tabloid is accused of hacking into the mobile phones of crime victims, celebrities and politicians.

On Thursday, the Met Police said it was seeking to contact 4,000 possible targets named in seized documents.

Its editor Colin Myler said it was "the saddest day of my professional career".

He added that "nothing should diminish everything this great newspaper has achieved".

The News of the World, which sells about 2.8million copies a week, is famed for its celebrity scoops and sex scandals, earning it the nickname, the News of the Screws.

Downing Street has said it had no role or involvement in the decision to close.

Mr Murdoch said no advertisements would run in this weekend's paper - instead any advertising space would be donated to charities and good causes, and proceeds from sales would also go to good causes.

News International has refused to comment on rumours that the Sun could now become a seven-day-a-week operation.

"What happens to the Sun is a matter for the future," a spokeswoman for News International said. The Sun, another News International tabloid, is currently published from Monday to Saturday.

The spokeswoman also refused to say whether the 200 or so employees at the paper would be made redundant, saying: "They will be invited to apply for other jobs in the company."

The News of the World's political editor, David Wooding, who joined 18 months ago, said it was a fantastic paper.

"They cleared out all the bad people. They bought in a great new editor, Colin Myler, and his deputy, Victoria Newton, who had not been sullied by any of the things that had gone on in the past.

"And there's nobody there, there's hardly anybody there who was there in the old regime."

The Guardian says that Andy Coulson, formerly David Cameron's director of communications, will be arrested on Friday morning over suspicions that he knew about, or had direct involvement in, the hacking of mobile phones during his time as editor of the News of the World.

The Guardian also says that a former senior journalist at the paper will also be arrested in the next few days.

There have been repeated calls for Rebekah Brooks - the former editor, now News International's chief executive - to resign. But in an interview Mr Murdoch stood by her again, saying he was satisfied with her conduct.

'Serious regret'

In a statement made to staff, Mr Murdoch said the good things the News of the World did "have been sullied by behaviour that was wrong - indeed, if recent allegations are true, it was inhuman and has no place in our company".

"The News of the World is in the business of holding others to account. But it failed when it came to itself."

He went on: "In 2006, the police focused their investigations on two men. Both went to jail. But the News of the World and News International failed to get to the bottom of repeated wrongdoing that occurred without conscience or legitimate purpose.

"Wrongdoers turned a good newsroom bad and this was not fully understood or adequately pursued.

"As a result, the News of the World and News International wrongly maintained that these issues were confined to one reporter.

"We now have voluntarily given evidence to the police that I believe will prove that this was untrue and those who acted wrongly will have to face the consequences. This was not the only fault.

"The paper made statements to Parliament without being in the full possession of the facts. This was wrong.

"The company paid out-of-court settlements approved by me. I now know that I did not have a complete picture when I did so. This was wrong and is a matter of serious regret."

He said: "So, just as I acknowledge we have made mistakes, I hope you and everyone inside and outside the company will acknowledge that we are doing our utmost to fix them, atone for them, and make sure they never happen again.

"Having consulted senior colleagues, I have decided that we must take further decisive action with respect to the paper. This Sunday will be the last issue of the News of the World."

He reiterated that the company was fully co-operating with the two ongoing police investigations.

He added: "While we may never be able to make up for distress that has been caused, the right thing to do is for every penny of the circulation revenue we receive this weekend to go to organisations that improve life in Britain and are devoted to treating others with dignity."

The BBC's political editor, Nick Robinson, said that Rupert Murdoch has sacrificed the News of the World - or, at least, its title - instead of the chief executive of News International, Rebekah Brooks.

"Team Murdoch must have realised that it would be referred to again and again over the next few months in connection with the alleged phone-hacking of a murdered girl, grieving parents and war widows," he said.

"The question now is whether this will make the government's dilemma about the takeover of BSkyB easier or harder."

Mark Pritchard, secretary of the influential Conservative backbench 1922 committee and vice-chairman of the parliamentary media group, has told the BBC he wants the government to delay a decision on the BskyB takeover.

"The government should take the political and moral lead - and announce a delay to the BSkyB decision until all outstanding legal impediments have been removed," he said.

Labour MP Tom Watson told Sky News it was "a victory for decent people up and down the land, and I say good riddance to the News of the World".

But Justice Secretary Ken Clarke said: "All they're going to do is rebrand it."

And former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, who alleged his phone was hacked, thought the decision was simply a gimmick.

In April, the News of the World admitted intercepting the voicemail messages of prominent people to find stories.

It came after years of rumours that the practice was widespread and amid intense pressure from those who believed they had been victims.

Royal editor Clive Goodman and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire were jailed for hacking in January 2007 after it was found they targeted Prince William's aides.

Detectives recovered files from Mulcaire's home which referred to a long list of public figures and celebrities.

The scandal widened this week when it emerged that a phone belonging to the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler had also been hacked into, and some messages deleted.

Leading brands, including Sainsbury's, Ford and O2, pulled their newspaper advertising and shares in BSkyB fell on fears that the scandal could hinder parent company News Corp's bid for the broadcaster.

On Wednesday, the government promised an inquiry in the hacking allegations, but the nature of it is undecided.

In this photo taken June 29, 2012, Geoffrey Tanner, 19, of Herndon, Va., center, and other volunteers make phone calls at the Romney Victory Office in Fairfax, Va. Call them passionate, idealistic, earnest, even a tad naive: The volunteers helping to power the Obama and Romney campaigns are outliers at a time when polls show record low public satisfaction with government and a growing belief that Washington isn’t on their side. While motivated by opposing goals, the Obama and Romney volunteers share at least one key trait: an abiding faith in the political process and a belief that it still matters who occupies the White House. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)Four years after Barack Obama won the support of 66 percent of voters aged 18 to 29, Republicans are working on a fresh approach to bring younger voters and candidates into the fold, using a coalition of traditional campaign organizations, super PACs, nonprofit advocacy groups and policy-based think tanks.

'Brown's sick babies targeted by hackers'
by John Higginson -London MetroTuesday 12th July 2011
who says:
" Journalists working for Rupert Murdoch's newspapers 'blagged' detaild of Gordon Brown's sich children, it was alleged yesterday. They obtained details from the medical files of Mr Brown's four month-old son, Fraser, showing he eas sufefreing from cystic fibrosis. They also attemoted to access the former prime minister's voice mail, his legal file and hisbank account, the latest reports show. The claims, involving, The Sun and the SundayTimes, suggested for the first time thatthe hacking scandal was spreading beyond the now-closed News Of The World. It also cast further serious doubt over Mr Murdoch's bid to obtan full control of BSkyB; yesterday the move was referred by ministrs to competition wtachdogs. Last night, Mr Brown ans h wife, Sarah, spoke of their sadness and shock at the 'level of criminality' used to prociure some of their children's most intimate details... The scandal, which erupted last week when it emerged that the News of the World had hacked the phone of murdered schollgirl Milly Dowler, took another dark twist with the latest allefations publish by the Guardian. In 2006, Sun editor Rebekah Brooks contacted the Browns to ell them they had detaild formRaser's mefical files, the paper claimed. Five years earluer, sensitive information about the couple's first child, Jennifer, who died at ten days old, also found its way to newspapers.  The Sunday Times was also linked to an actor impersonating Mr Brown trying to get access to his Abbey National account and legal file. The claims were even more devistating to Mrs Brown who considered Mrs Brooks a friend and even organised her 40th birthday party in 2008. She said yesterday: 'So sad to learn about all I have about my family's provacy. It is really sad if true,' It is being cliamed that a royal protection officer was paid to provide the News of the World with information and phone numbers of memebrs of the royal family."
