i wanted to expose the criminality that runs through the heart of this corporation. they very nearly ruined my life. i have certainly seen how they have ruined the lives of others. it's really difficult for me to sit here and talk about this because the whole point of fighting these newspapers is because i was so keen

to have my privacy. i feel a sense of duty to expose them, as they have exposed us. prince harry and sir eltonjohn have launched legal action against the publishers of the daily mail. action is being taken against the sun newspaper... legal action against i the mirror group over allegations of phone hacking. who did you hack? it would be quicker to say who i didn't hack, wouldn't it? would be easier. celebrities, politicians. i was living in this sort of super highway of illicit information. it was exciting. you felt like a spy. as the years have gone by, the story has grown and grown. it's 100 times worse than the press admitted to.

these are frighteningly eye watering claims, bugging cars, listening to and recording live phone calls, paying police officials for sensitive information. i don't know to this day how many people have heard my deepest secrets, my desires. phone hacking was not practised by the mail. on sunday or the daily mail. i didn't feel like i was working in some sort of underground, illegal newsgathering operation. i was working at the sun, what you saw was what you got. you have just about anybody who has ever appeared in a tabloid newspaper saying, give me large wads of cash, please. i think it's actually a legal scandal. it's not the money i am after, it to expose their guilt, it'sjustice.

it's quite unbelievable that individuals could go to such lengths at a time when a family are so grief stricken. where is the morals around this? how can they sleep at night? happy christmas, everybody. let's zoom in on clare. clare was working at harvey nichols, she worked on a beauty counter there. she got to know michael pech, a slovakian security guard that worked in harvey nichols. they dated for a period of three weeks. she decided to end the relationship.

on the 13th of september, he crept up behind by daughter... he raised a gun, witnesses saw it, he raised a gun, he shot her at the back of the head and as she fell, he shot her in the face. and then he turned the gun on himself. it was just before closing time last night when, in front of shoppers and staff, and man shot dead a woman serving on one of the ground—floor cosmetics counters. it's believed the 22—year—old victim had been stalked by her killer after ending a relationship with him. it was five years after clare's murder, i got a phone call from the metropolitan police. within hours of her murder, clare's phone had been hacked and my phone had been hacked

by the news of the world. now it would appear that there were other papers. patricia, thank you for coming in to see my colleague, dan, and i. what we found is an article in the sun on the 15th of september, shortly after the tragic murder of your daughter, that looked suspicious. it may not be easy for you to hear now and i'm sorry about that, but it "psycho on bail, bloodbath at harvey nichols". and it quotes an unnamed

friend of clare's. and that's a sign to us that that may have been material taken from phones or to cover up the fact that information was taken from phones, because it's unlikely, as i understand it that the people who you knew that were clare's friends were talking randomly to the sun newspapers within two days. we did think, how can these individuals, whoever those individuals were, because we didn't know, could talk to the press. i remember those feelings very, very well. what it says here is pech had bombarded her with phone calls and threatening text messages. we would infer that the sun was aware that phone calls had been made, either that was from itemised records that obtained through voice mail interception. it's very similar to what happened at the news of the world, we say. and that's going to be the basis of your claim against the sun.

hopefully you'll get to the bottom of what happened here. thank you. thinking that clare was abused after her death, that's the bit that really, really makes me angry. nothing was private. who knows, i have no idea and it's the not knowing what they listened to, what they heard and that will haunt me. what we now call the phone hacking scandal includes all sorts of other alleged unlawful activities by the papers. we are talking about dozens of reporters and thousands and thousands of people who were targeted in this way,

of which a fraction have actually come forward and brought claims and we have been helping them bring those claims. i started life as a doctor, as a junior hospital doctor and then in public health. and then i was elected to parliament in oxford and until about five years ago i was the executive director of the hacked off campaign which campaigned on behalf of victims. so i started to meet people who had been the victims of the abuse and criminality by newspapers. we believe that the scale of this activity, as you can see by the amount of information we've gathered, which is now too big for this office, the scale of this is enormous. a lot of evidence to back up the claimants�* allegation has been referred to in publicly available court documents. our earliest cases involve the mirror group.

tabloid newspapers are very competitive beasts. - the late 905 into the 20005, in fleet street, _ there were two big groups, i there was news international, which was the sun, - the news of the world. and there was their direct rival which. was the mirror group. the daily mirror, the sunday. mirror and the sunday people. i edited the people. there was tremendous - competition head to the sun, on the one hand that was the biggest seller. - and the daily mirror, _ which was trying desperately to overtake and beat their rival. what sold newspapers was celebrity. - and the more salacious thati story was, the better it sold.

if someone ever said to me, what would you change in your life? i would absolutely have never ever, ever become a public figure. ever. success is great, but privacy is priceless. i lost my leg in 1993, crushed my pelvis and punctured my lung and suddenly it was all over the media. "model overcomes adversity," i'd only been a model for like five minutes. and then i had nonstop good press from �*93 to �*99 and then it was as soon as i got in a relationship with my ex—husband, the hell started. all right, everyone? as promised, pauland heather appeared together today to just a little bit of press interest. the details, we are engaged, that's it. i was obviously naive, it was as if, it's ok for you to overcome adversity, but there's no way you are going to marry an icon.

they were just churning stories out that would feed into the public�*s gossiping nature. do you remember the first time that a personal piece of information was in the press, that you thought i don't know how they got that? it was 2001. me and my then partner got into an argument, so i left and i went to my girlfriends and stayed there and switched the phone off. i woke up in the morning and found out that all my voice mail messages had been listened to. and i thought, that's weird, why would it not be unheard messages? didn't think any more of it, got in the car, drove around. then i got a call from neil wallace from the people. he said, we've got this story that you've had an argumentand... and i was like, what? and he said, yeah, we got told by a guy in a restaurant. and i said no, i was at my friend's last night and i said

i thought it was funny that my messages have been listened to, so you've hacked me? and he said... and that was something we hadn't even thought of or knew of in those days. and he said, no, no, no. and i said, if you run that story then i'm coming after you legally. i had known and worked very well with heather for years. i i remember it was the most bizarre conversation. - and i had not a clue - what she was talking about, so i spoke to, i think the news editor who brought it- to me, who had been| sold it by a freelance. no mention there too - of how he had obtained it. i guess the question is, did you hack heather mills�*... no. ..phone? no. absolutely did not hack heather mills' phone. i had no idea that anybody had hacked her phone. i did you commission anyone to do that? absolutely not. he then contacted me and said,

i'm not running that article, just to let you know. and that's when i went, ok, i am being followed, hacked or something and that's when i started to become paranoid. i actually went to government back then and theyjust pooh—poohed me and said, she's completely nuts, don't be so ridiculous. conventionally, good reporter is energetic and persistent to persuade strangers to cooperate. but that is skilful and difficult. it is time consuming. so voice mail hacking is a brilliant short cut. why bother turning up on the doorstep and trying to persuade the famous actress to tell you her secrets when you can get straight into her voice mail into minutes and you have got the story. mail into minutes and you have

hello. wednesday has once again brought record breaking temperatures to parts of southern europe. we've had an unconfirmed report of nearly 47 degrees in sardinia, and that intense heat is set to continue a degree or two up or down from day to day, but nevertheless relentless, both by day and by night. now, talking about heat, this time a year ago was when we saw record breaking heat here in the uk, but nothing that extreme heading our way here. we are still to the north of the jet stream. we are still in a cooler north westerly breeze at the moment. temperatures around about average just a little bit

below, and with it plenty of scattered showers as pressure is relatively low. but, actually, with the lighter winds through the early hours of thursday, it turns quite chilly in some rural parts. there could even be the odd pocket of fog first thing this morning. but again, it's around dawn, so it'll clear fairly quickly and that's when we'll see the best of the sunshine before the cloud starts to bubble again and we see some showers developing. now, it's one of those days where we could see lines of showers. so some places catch, shower after shower and others stay completely dry with good spells of sunshine. but it will be pleasant enough. 17—22 is a notch down on wednesday, slightly fresher air, still that brisk breeze up in the north and the east of scotland. but i think, by and large, it should be largely fine for the first day at least of the golf at hoylake and actually again for the cricket at old trafford. just the odd shower around can't be ruled out, but the chances of interruptions increase through friday and into the weekend because already as we go through the night,

thursday into friday, we've got the next weather front gathering in off the atlantic. ahead of it, some cooler dry weather, but it does look as if we turn the tables to cloudier weather again with patchy rain for northern ireland, scotland, northern england as we go into friday. the far north of scotland, just a few showers, perhaps dry with a little ridge of high pressure in the south. hopefully a drier day, fewer showers, a little bit more sunshine. but temperatures are down a degree, a bit more cloud around. and the reason? this area of low pressure that's rolling itself in again. so it looks like not only bringing us some wetter weather, once again, in what has been a really unsettled july, but also some strong winds to go with it. strong winds notjust in the south, but potentially the far north as well, which is going to make it feel fairly cool forjuly. as ever, there's more on the website. bye— bye.
