good evening this is r.t. it's eight pm here in moscow my name's kevin owen and first this evening's t.v. in great britain is a must see for most of the country as rupert murdoch and his son have been facing angry lawmakers these are the latest pictures coming through but within the last few minutes it's taken another dramatic twist a protest broke into the westminster committee chamber got more about that a bit later now the hearing into the phone hacking and police bribery claims that the now x. news of the world has been suspended as the problem is dealt with artie's lorimer is following the hearing in london for us there is huge interest in it and we are seeing reports and jamison mad. being interviewed by m.p.'s together they are being

asked some tricky questions by m.p.'s which is what the public wanted james murdoch says that when the when the hacking investigation was closed the staff in these international relied heavily on the fact of the police that there was nothing further to be investigated they also relied on a decision by the press complaints commission that said nothing further nothing to see here and also outside legal advice if they feel that they were within their rights to not look at phone hacking inside their organization anymore this is the first time that rupert murdoch has faced m.p.'s in his more than forty years of being off in the u.k. media sector and it has to be said that he doesn't seem to be taking it very well he's he's a little bit it's a little bit on edge his tone is a little bit sticky another interesting development today is something that's happening on twitter actually users of the social networking sites are drawing attention to the old resonance between the death of sean hoare which his body was

found yesterday he was the first news of the world journalists to allege that his editor and he calls and later the director of communications for the government knew that phone hacking was taking place all along he was found dead yesterday the eighteenth of july two thousand two thousand and eleven on the eighteenth of july two thousand and three the very same date david kelly was found dead also presumed to be suicide he was of course the u.n. weapons inspector who first cast doubt on the government's claim that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes and moreover said that the government knew that iraq couldn't deploy those weapons of mass destruction to people all over twitter during attention to the old resonance between those deaths the fact that their bodies were discovered in the very same date and saying that the eighteenth of july looks like a bad day for whistleblowers three top police officers two of whom who have resigned this week commissioners to pull stephen. certain his assistant

commissioner mr gates has also appeared they face questioning over this this cozy relationship between the press and the police stephenson also faced questions about his handling the police handling of this investigation into very hacking in two thousand and nine and he also admitted that no fewer than ten of the world journalists have worked in the met press office now a lot of people are suggesting that the taking of bribes of the alleged taking of arrives by police officers from the journalists is a symptom of essentially endemic corruption in the metropolitan police and the police all over the country i want to talk to some people about that and here's my report. ian tomlinson died in london's g. twenty protest in two thousand and nine after being pushed to the ground by p.c. simon hoggart how would said he'd been prevented from giving first aid by a bottle throwing more he later admitted happened john charles de minerva's

short by police in a london underground station in two thousand and five officers allegedly leaked a report saying he'd fled from police c.c.t.v. images later showed this was true. less well known is michael daugherty a man who went to the police for help only for it to turn into a cafe esque where both allegedly false statements and mistreatment. i obviously have no protection from or in this country i think is completely outrageous because he told police he suspected his thirteen year old daughter was being groomed by a paedophile concerned they referred it to his local station sex crime unit then nothing after two weeks daugherty phoned the unit secretary that's where the trouble started and just response to my house. police came to talk to his house to jordan to arrest him for harassing the police secretary shortly after his

arrest he learnt the investigation into his daughter's remains had been dropped by police records show they haven't looked at any of the evidence the police secretary has since admitted she has a hazy recollection of the telephone call she said upset her so much but only when presented with tapes of the conversations daugherty had luckily recorded the officers involved in his arrest were found to be at fault and sent on a retraining course but doctors he believes that's not enough i don't think there are anything different than. i think that this is this is normal society if. they need to be held accountable in the same way that anybody else would be in a court talk with these accounts of lies and harassment by the police is going no means unique but the phone hacking scandal has brought stories like his into the public eye revealing bribery and corruption at the heart of the police force is amazing the focus has tended to be on the journalists themselves and not on their

own and educate corrupt police officers who've been receiving money to provide protected information but it does show that there's a sort of endemic corruption and the failure of. one. secretary has announced a review into the workings of the police to rebuild public trust that little comfort to michael daugherty he says he's traumatized by his experience at the hands of the people he turned to for help the phone hacking scandal has many thought reaching implications from the potential break up of the media empire to a loss of faith in the british press but it's also pushed into the spotlight once again a police force that appears only to tell the truth when its course out in the light many are now asking how justice can prevail and it r.t. . just to bring a little bit more about what we know or mention just now about protesters rushing in and calling off that committee hearing temporarily part of a cause

a scuffle suspended the hearing a man rushed up behind one of the murdoch has been struck by somebody else was there. as soon as we get more on the we'll let you know but what we do know at the moment is that it has been suspended because of a scuffle. we're hearing that it could be one activist group that got in. the younger wasn't very happy that his father was not adequately protected but more an hour later as i say let's bring into the equation. london based noir and right after this to go for it even if you thanks for being with us i know you witnessed what went on there as well you were in the green room just parked there you told me what you saw so it's all stop for now the talking point you were looking in and listening to it what do you think about the way that murdoch's handled themselves and so afternoon. pauli never expect the sun people to that they would

reserve their right to silence because the whole exercise was to show that they were cleaner than clean. they've been such in a vase is way. i'm fine i'm afraid they're exposed as groups. well you've actually said in one of your latest articles you wrote a couple of days ago you go as far as calling news international criminal organization why do you say that that's a huge statement to make. yes i think they are a criminal organization in the sense that they operate a vast news gathering. put on use that information to crush the politicians and public officials who get in their way but it's how the mafia how appropriate while it's an open secret i guess that offices have been leaking information to journalists for years in return for cash and we should be so surprised or is there really a difference between what happened now and what news international are doing well

why is international worse than what maybe some other news organizations do or have done in the past. well there has always been and always will be a two way relationship between police and press the information goes both ways i should say but this is something on a very different scale it's not gathering information for their journalistic enterprise is which is what usually goes on it's gathering information for corporate defense and further corporate interests. growing political even from those for pressuring pleas to. pressure public officials who may very questions about the way news international operates and i think that's very very different from what goes on and will always go on between press and police and i guess there's a political game going on that we maybe haven't heard so much of yet may come out soon i said publicly because looking for revenge as a result of having been wronged here as they see it by murdoch's papers is that what is going so far. no one i don't think there are much in

a position to go in revenge and i think they've clustered together because they can see that the whole thing is falling apart and attempting to manage the situation but they move much more than the police are complicit it's the politicians that have created the political atmosphere that allows the police the leadership of the police. to engage in widespread corrupt corruption of practice and. what about the death last night of show one horrible former news of the world journalists who were blew the whistle of course some phone hacking at the plane in the first place and it's got conspiracy theories in overdrive about how you look at it it doesn't. well i don't think there's anything sinister in his care for a lot have to say that the man was destroyed professionally by news international or the journalistic world in london is a very small place the message gets around that you don't get to work here anymore

or. your career is finished there now it's all the more really had was that his name is a. business show business journalism but he heard the man was destroyed he was well known but he was drinking too much taking drugs he was depressed and demoralized and. it's no stranger in unions. and what about the hierarchy in britain everyone calls talking about britain's top politicians their close ties with news international would be so close in the future maybe briefly. i don't think. it's always going to be a close relationship between politicians and the press both need each other but i think what was going on with news international was that a very different level. a confluence of long political and corporate earnings and nearly. always be in the police press of collusion between

journalists not journalists editorially and political party. it's inevitable what was going on with these international is very different or i think it was more akin to. two. to extortion. and blackmail. to a rough and tumble of politics and press well again referring back to what i mentioned earlier on you described in one of your latest articles news international as a criminal organization a strong comment. on the line from london much appreciate it or just bring you up to date with what we know now we're hearing that that committee meeting has resumed if you missed the news in the last ten minutes or so rupert murdoch shocked the last ten minutes somebody ran into that committee room. from one of the feeds or it could've been a gap year and i kist who wanted to get some attention james murdoch. that security staff had failed to protect his let's face it elderly father properly.

rupert murdoch's wife was up like a shot apparently to defend her husband unexpected turn of events there and there will be across all the latest that's happening throughout the next couple of hours here on r.t. . still to come on the program also ahead this hour searching for answers as recovery crews try to lift the some can vessel on the volga river hopes grow now of finding the truth behind the tragedy of one of russia's worst ever shipping disasters. next israeli commandos of border guards abound aid ship on the approach to the blockaded territory reporting no resistance from activists on board the french vessel which has now been taken to the israeli port of ashdod is the last from a one hundred strong humanitarian flotilla it was prevented from leaving a greek port three weeks ago our correspondent paula sleep here is across the villages for you in israel. just before noon local time today tuesday the friendship which is known as the dinner table surrounded by at least three israeli

naval ships as it made its way to gaza this is off to the ship anchored overnight in international waters now we understand that the israeli navy contacted the captain of the ship wanted and that if you went any further they you would be acting illegally breaking israel's blockade on gaza and according to the israeli army they made it quite clear to the ship's captain and the ship's passengers that there were other legal options available to them and they're all sixteen people on board this ship ten of them are passengers three of them are crew three of them are journalists this is the furthest that any ship so far in this series of freedom for to go to has been able to go in terms of being able to reach gaza now the israelis are at pains not to see a repeat of what happened last year when you had their feet in front of the one that incident in which the church is citizens who were killed when israeli commandos who wanted to because they the mavi marmara and they simply do not want to see that happen again so the average pains to try and see this dealt with

peacefully and without any kind of the loss of life because many soldiers naval soldiers boarded the ship when it was some seventy kilometers away from gaza and there's no question that the ship was still in international waters it did go off without incident and right now that ship is in the israeli port city of ashdod according to the israeli army spokesperson there the passengers on board will be dealt with by the israeli immigration police but the question of just how do you go to these really actions are still remains a very important question there has been at least four separate investigative committees that were set up last year to look at how the israeli soldiers in that first incident how they dealt with that and all the new information once councils found them to quote them that the israeli actions have now clearly unlawful and later this month we do expect the findings of a second in a commission that has we indicated that. why fines he is made like a dunbar's are not illegal israeli soldiers did last year at harshly when you look

at the commies from international legal experts they say that when ships are in the high seas there is something such as the freedom of navigation and as such the israeli soldiers boarding is in fact illegal. so it is called spawn of paulus lee and so get more now on the border you the french aid ship talk to. the campaign to end the siege of gaza thanks for being with us on r.t. now the activists on the boat said they were not carrying any humanitarian aid and their aim was simply to draw attention to their mission is not just admitting though the raid was to provoke israel. no there were three there are two the people of palestine million dollars oceans under siege for the year for the fourth year since the international form an international community failed till this minute aggression in the illegal sea to respect international law this peaceful activist right to count and all of the showed the that one point six million palestinians

are living in serious conditions they are carrying some hope they are going to trying to break the isolation the boers by israel in gaza strip so this is not a bill for creation of occasional so what happened today and what israel is doing regarding the clear violation committed on the international humanitarian humanitarian law our people in gaza peace and peace will activists who are carrying with them some messages which is very important some of the message to the people of gaza is that there is other people who are beside the justice decide the deliberately beside the problem and there is also the will who are the means for these these actions so the international community must act in order that this suffering of the people of gaza we are not in need for cosmetic or materials gaza is full of chocolate and catch up many of these and other kinds of these such

things that israel entered by its crossings but no materials ok no room no construction materials well do you think anything positive will come out from this very public exercise has been carried out the media's attention has been focused on it looking back at the fallout from last year's flu teleporting israel as you mentioned their duties its land blockade on gaza ok the goods that came through you made out of wanted so much to talk about the chocolate there but could this latest very public demonstration from the activist change israel to make further concessions now they would all optimistic. we hope that the into the review and the the formal international community will act first to give the safety for these. peaceful activist we have no and for mission guarding the guarding there was a sense the morning we have no contact with the with these people who were in the war until now did we have the information the us the world the world is

a good seaport and we have more information so we are calling the french government in order to act to release this activist since they are where they were in the mission civil mission gritted according to the international law and the second wind i have to raise that we will not accept any new initiative to victimize this siege to make the sea longer and longer we mean to n.b.c. totally is not acceptable anymore because you can use the pressure in israel what judging by what israel must dismiss what i know of what i want to ask you now and then can you see israel's side to this ad saw have any sympathy at all over the fact that israel says it's defending its blockade of gaza on the basis of militant activity there and in favor of the hamas government can you see any mileage in their arguments. entering the cement to gaza what kind of danger something wrong materials axes for b.

will what kind of danger in israel on down the street think international law that's what gazans in need for justice. gazans in need for freedom we want to talk about twenty eight children who are in bad need for medical treatment outside gaza and they would have prevented to get this medical treatment because of the this illegal siege what kind of danger of these babies and children are turning to israel it's a big question it's just a humiliation and opposition on the other seniors who are living in gaza we will indulge in bad need for development we do thank everyone all over the world for the humanitarian aid they are sending to gaza but this is not the solution the main solution for solving the unemployment which is more than forty four per cent of the girl of gaza. because truck do thousands of houses will solve this try to do during the ten years it's too often the crossings totally live depression and fishing gaza to live the farm with the rich the land on gaza this is what we are need for here

your point you've made it most clearly al shout from the campaign to end the siege of gaza thank you for being on the international. trade nigeria fuel talks between the leaders of russia and germany in hanover the demands of europe's biggest economy a growing and moscow says it's capable of striking out starts he's diable show has been following a high level meeting. germany's decision to shut its nuclear stations has opened opportunities for the likes of russia's gazprom because john is hoping to tie up some deals here in hanover which he really sees the german market as a stepping stone to the rest of the european union germany and sees opportunities in russia or in particular the post mortem or they should program of russia's infrastructure knelt by president michel made better and given the problems in the rest of the eurozone in places like portugal greece ireland also potentially spreading to perhaps its early and spain they're all confirm that the european

market may not be providing germany with the same opportunities as before nevertheless president medvedev says he's cautiously optimistic about the future of the eurozone he would like to see more currencies come to the for a subject he's raised in the polls there is a particular friendship between angular to get from it better to have the closeness partners on the wall stage and that was very much present here in the talks today now we've heard that president medvedev has been quiz several times about his election. season so they said that he would be making you know it's a very shortly about whether he would stand for president of russia again. or it would have said they shared common views on the whole middle east situation of course both countries abstained russia and germany abstained on the u.n. vote authorizing action for military intervention in libya and the escalation

of violence is something of concern to both sides so much that it is a little saying you shouldn't even the resolution would be implemented according to what it says and if it says a no fly zone should be imposed that doesn't mean war but instead of a no fly zone what we see is an active phase of the civil war in some forces or supporting one of the parties to the conflict and this is bad for libya and so i think we should continue searching for opportunities to find a peaceful solution to this situation we should use all available. mediators and all opportunities because there can be no military solution to the libyan problem it's a reference the. mission by civil nato states that they are arming libya's rebels. escalating the violence. military resolution of the syrian conflict boylan's between government troops and the opposition is growing key theme today's news conference was that the troubles across the middle east. taking place between government forces and civil forces as well should not be fueled by outside

forces that was something that both sides both russia and germany stressed today. recovery crews working on lifting. from the bottom of the volga river managed to finally bring the vessel up right now but they say the operation to raise it may take several more days to play a crucial role in why the ship went down in just three minutes meanwhile police arrested the captain of a vessel that sailed past the pleasure cruiser as it was sinking without stopping to help earlier the director of the firm that rented the boat and the ship's registrar also arrested the area saying russia's volga river nine days ago killed one hundred people many became one of russia's worst she's trying to coax. support since i was here including news of a penalty kick almost cause an international incident we got news about that in twenty minutes time choose the live business next they were to me tree.

loadable welcome to the business of seeing the shadow of debts now extends from washington to tokyo covers the capitals of europe markets are not panicking yet but a steady group drip of bad news is taking its toll politicians are playing a part as leaders quarrel over greece and u.s. lawmakers are in stalemate over the debt ceiling the c.e.o. of index futures group jack lew john says what he thinks the mystic investor should do. i think that the pessimistic investor needs to still have exposure to the market unfortunately remember a pessimistic investor right now believe it or not has to be counter intuitive in one nine hundred thirty two for example soybeans traded at forty four cents a bushel in one nine hundred fifty two they traded at four dollars and fifty cents a bushel this was a conscious effort on the part of a government to inflate. instead of growth and that's exactly what happened we saw the devaluation of the currency so believe it or not a pessimistic investor right now needs to be exposed to commodities needs to be

exposed to hard assets so as an individual i think what you have to do is almost bite the bullet and find investments that make sense multinationals of course that have exposure all over the world that are part of this global growth story. most of the markets now truth is on the rise as investors wait for report tomorrow that may show us in the trees the coin for a seventh week where the concerns about the prospects of global economic recovery are limiting u.s. markets kicked off with the rise as corporate results from i.b.m. critical beat expectations i.b.m. is never up around four percent this hour here in moscow as the closing picture for the bourses the r.t.s. of one point one percent my six three quarters of a percent on a rebound in the world mainly if we look at the main movers in the my six you will see their gas form again one percent on the rebound as i mentioned t n k d p apologies for this technical error also up one point seven percent as it acquired
