11:01 am
it's about the phone hacking scandal up to now it was in good faith but m.p.'s widely dismissed that evidence is unconvincing and they said that this was not the end of the matter so we will see further questions on the relationship between the police and the news of the world and of course in the next couple of days we'll see people appearing before parliament including we have rebecca brooks both those top ranking police officers they will have to answer more questions on their role in the scandal in front of parliament the war so far you see newspaper executives and senior police officers resign but not any politicians or how much heat is all this putting on david cameron and his government given their close ties to murder. well i was seeing more and more that everybody in the public is implicated in the scandal really more and more people being implicated when commissioner stevenson resigned he really stuck the knife into prime minister david cameron he said that the prime minister's relationship with the former news of the world editor andy
11:02 am
cools and who of course he hired to work with him made it difficult to disclose certain facts to the prime minister about the phone hacking and that he also didn't tell the prime minister about the employer the employment of neil wallis who's that former executive director of the news of the world as a consultant to the police for fear of compromising david cameron now that obviously puts cameron very much in the spotlight we've also seen boris johnson the mayor of london who is supposed to be in charge of the metropolitan police are answering some very difficult questions from journalists in a news conference just a little bit earlier so of course what we see here in the u.k. is first people losing their trust in the press secondly losing trust in the police and now we may even see them losing trust in their m.p.'s so this is not the end of this scandal certainly not and indeed the labor leader ed miliband is calling for the breakup of murdoch's media empire. many thanks for now lorena there live from
11:03 am
london for us on the sun folding scandal many thanks. meanwhile we've got murdoch out is former u.k. c.e.o. rebecca brooks facing m.p.'s on tuesday over the scandal but media analyst for research the practice of police being paid for by the media is not lying to disappear any time soon. this is a good example of what the police have been doing in the kind of murdoch years they've been using arrests it been leaking they've been paid for telling people when celebrities have been arrested so actually manipulating the arrests of people is actually a practice that has become in trying now in my view as a result of the kind of bribery thing so this would hardly be out of practice but i don't think it's going to deflect opinion i mean there are so many m.p.'s now and indeed so much of the british establishment which for so long kowtow to murdoch is now prepared to get to the bottom of this and we doubt those people who have been corrupted different levels remember that four years ago right the police had these bags with i think it was
11:04 am
a level one thousand letters about four thousand celebrities and victims of crime and all these other people and they knew they were taking part investigation these bags were just left there i mean it's amazing it's remarkable that it took four years for them to do anything about this meanwhile senior police officers were wining and dining with members of the murdoch empire they were they were meeting them for drinks privately one even hired them at a thousand pounds a day to work for him so you know what does this tell us about the relationship between the police and the news corp employees well it's very very serious and if this can happen at the top of the police look at the example that gives to officers down down the lines now you could well you know can any organization properly examine itself but so much is at stake that if that operation is seen to be corrupted as well i think we've got you know an even bigger problem i think so many people now are watching it including you know members of parliament select committees these are investigative bodies within the british political system
11:05 am
they're all all eyes are on this let alone all the journalists who are looking at what's going on so i think that the ramifications of this is so big i mean you know britain is this is shaking at this each day it's headline news and people are asking who's next. coming up here on the searching a far. reaching sank in russia's volga river continues we'll bring you all the latest from the scene. believe that emerge that you did on sally. find out why twenty decals and when is the last received a lot ran out on their way to the united states. the taliban has claimed responsibility for the assassination of the afghan president senior advisor in the capital kabul along with one of the countries that peace local security forces say they've already killed the militants who carried out the attack well the murders come at less than
11:06 am
a week after how many. probably he rounded south of the country down the taliban is stepping up its assault on afghan officials as native combat units begin its withdrawal from the feline one hundred eva control seven designated areas to local forces but andrew activist jim branch of the tree of the minutes he faces be behind . i would question to what extent they really want to leave clearly they have to present themselves as leaving whether they really intend to leave i think you can gauge by for example the amount of construction that's going on at places. nato bases at places like kandahar about graham and so on which look very permanent and involve hundreds of millions of dollars but certainly some process is going on. in withdrawal or something that we could recognizably call a withdrawal but compared to the goals that they set themselves or that they claim
11:07 am
for themselves ten years ago there's very little to cheer about i think you have to ask the question security for who or for walks when they talk about handing over responsibility for security because by all. accounts for example the afghan army as it's called is is very much biased towards messmate groups so it starts with the cup from the beginning so the idea that it would be an impartial force or seem to be impossible for seems to be extremely unlikely meanwhile there's a change the top to nato in afghanistan with general david petraeus leaving to take over as director of the cia he's being replaced by general john allen hello busy the gradual chance for sponsibility for security for nato cheaps to local forces that is jason mortlock reports there's concern afghan forces are too divided ill equipped and lacking in training to fend off the taliban. there's confusion
11:08 am
on the faces of the afghan army soldiers as a firefight unfolds on the other side of the wall lucky for them this is the kabul military training center in the bullets being fired blanks the men here halfway through a ten week program and the officers don't cut the many slack when it's over the be deployed eastern province one of afghanistan's most violent corners. but we must push them hard so they can perform under pressure day by day we're making progress the afghan national army has already come a long way its ranks have swollen to about one hundred seventy thousand troops thanks to fresh waves of recruits attracted by higher wages and extra perks the soldiers insist they are all united in their desire to beat back the taliban led insurgency regardless of age or ethnicity then any on what we are old brothers and we are all called by one name. by the call of duty is also struck a chord beyond able bodied males a first ever class of woman soldiers has just graduated. and there's even
11:09 am
a mujahedeen unit made up of hardened veterans of the anti soviet jihad this is all good news to u.s. military planners who have set a two thousand and fourteen deadline to hand over security responsibilities to the afghans the afghan army enjoys a much better reputation in the police force and has even been featured in recent moves. but is the army takes greater responsibility for security around the country there are concerns that the quantity of troops may be coming in the expense of quality for starters more than eighty percent of troops are literate a big problem in the ability to read maps and numbers can spell the difference between life and adding to the woes are widespread drug use and desertions today roughly one in four combat soldiers quit their post critics also point out that the military leadership is made up of many rival ex warlords who still command loyalties along regional and ethnic lines and could drag the country deeper into conflict as the u.s. begins to scale back its role as custodian this summer there are concerns that these divisions may flare up if i start usually. we will be here late ninety's soon
