>> union bank has put its global expertise to work for a wide range of companies. what can we do for you? >> and now "bbc world news." >> in the past couple of decades, internet use has spread across the planet, invading every aspect of life. in countries like south korea, going online seems to have become a necessity. >> [speaking korean] >> usually, i go online as soon as i wake up. know what the internet is? [indistinct chattering] >> internet? anybody?

now, though, we're going to be providing internet access to this village in northern nigeria. so, what happens when we turn the internet on here? >> and off here? [indistinct chattering] >> it's not exactly the information superhighway. [bleating] welcome to the village of gitata, 2 1/2 hours north of the nigerian capital abuja. what strikes you as you arrive in gitata is the fact that it seems so disconnected from even the rest of the country. it's not part of the national electricity grid, so most of the people here get their information through battery-powered radios. only a few of them even have mobile

phones. i'm gonna give 2 high-speed internet-enabled mobile phones to 2 individuals in this community and find out how that changes their lives and the lives of the people in gitata. [drum solo playing] the brave new world of broadband has barely penetrated this community. for most of the residents here, the internet is a complete mystery... though english premiership football seems to be surprisingly familiar. who's the top striker in chelsea right now? >> eh? >> the top goal scorer for chelsea? >> drogba. >> drogba. >> yeah. >> ok, so the man knows his football, at least. but do you know what the internet is? >> no. >> internet--have you ever heard of internet before? >> no. >> [speaking native language] >> does she know what the internet is? >> [speaking native language] >> well, i don't have any idea what the internet is about. >> have you heard of the internet? >> yes, i have a little

knowledge about the internet. i do go to the internet in order to get information. >> ok. >> i mean, i got to--i mean, what is happening in the world. >> how far away do you have to go to get access tois that r? related to your return to new york or was this some other reason? >> as i stated at that time, it was for the simple reason that -- i wanted to avoid becoming a lightning rod. some people were trying to conflate the issues that happened in the past with relevance to my role as chairman of bskyb and i thought it was better not to provide a distraction and to resign my role as non-executive chairman. i remain a director. >> thank you. the other general.

, as its general offer a region operating officer, you report to the chief officer and not rupert murdoch, your father. is that right? >> that is correct. >> are there discussions from time to time of your father about news corp.? >> yes. we do discuss business issues from time to time. >> i will come back to that in due course as i may. i invite you to summarize what you say in answer to question six in your statement. about your objectives and the way you have undertaken your

business role in the united kingdom. can you summarize that for us, please? >> question 6 relates to that general philosophy and practice. to summarize, i would say that with respect to operating a business when i was chap -- chief executive, i tried to foster a focus on how the customer of the business, and viewers, most of my career has been in television. customers in a broad sense. a management culture that is transparent but also working together to focus on those issues. this is all lot in the question with respect to governance, the role of business, do you want me to go into all of those things?

>> no thank you. i have a question about -- we are a two-thirds through the paragraph. you say you had an open management culture in which executives would share information. >> yes. >> when you arrived in december 2007, did you find the management culture in news international? >> when i arrived, the business had a handful of their priorities to be tackled. one was a question around the general growth. declining readership and flat revenue. but also i wanted to have a tight management team that met regularly and is shared

information about the business. we instituted regular meetings. the new part of it that i started when i was there was to include some of the editors so that issues around the newspapers, programs, promotions, could be discussed among everyone. we had monthly meetings in addition to the executives where we met regularly. >> did you feel in december 8 -- december you were being confronted with an open management culture? >> it always takes time and each phase a business goes through with a different leadership will adjust to it. i did think that it was different from british sky broadcasting and i wanted it to be more collaborative. >> in your discussions about the

business, did you feel that he was open with you or something different? >> at the time i had no reason to believe otherwise. >> ok. 6.10, you referred to the changes last year and the creation of a risk register. can i invite you to look at 8.5, 02970, where you stayed there must be sufficient controls in place, given the legal risks in getting it wrong. in your view, or their deficiencies in news international's systems for

identifying legal problems in the context of reputation of harm for the company? >> with respect to news gathering practices, for example, it is self-evident that, in hindsight, whatever controls were in place fails to create a transparency are around those issues surrounding it. however, there were managers who had a lot of experience who were working closely with the editors and with the newsrooms. at that time, i did not have a view that those were insufficient or not. >> about the advice given by the manager, is right to save there were not any other systems in place such as the ones you began to introduce last year. >> with respect to last year,

some of the things we introduced, a dedicated chief compliance officer, which is an important step, having a board that it does more than the statutory compliance requirements but actually connects the center to management accountability on an ongoing basis, those things are new things to strengthen what we can do. >> the question was it is really only the good work of mr. crone. >> i think we had an effective management board where senior executives would meet, including the chief operating officer, the chief financial officer, including the editors

from time to time. there was ample opportunity to discuss these issues and surface them. there were regular systems in place. i think i would have had a reasonable expectation that having the managers close this audit date -- associated with the newsrooms was a protection. in addition, i also met with our internal audit department who audited and the business with respect to certain issues. i encouraged them to be transparent to take the resources they required. >> in your position, did you make of obvious connection between risk and reputation of damage to the company? >> it is something that is important to a business with

respect to a company's license with its customers, the communities it operates in, and legal risk plays into that. >> we are bringing you coverage of james murdock giving evidence to the inquiry, part of a massive inquiry between press, politicians, and the police. with me is our political correspondent. james murdoch to has been vilified in the british press. he has been a pivotal figure in the saga of a phone hacking. what evidence is he going to be questioned on the most? where will the interest be? >> the big thing will be the contradiction between the evidence and e-mail sent by former executives at the news of the world to him warning him

that phone hacking was rife. he said he never read those the mouse and did not scroll down to the end of the exchange or the warning was given. that is bound to come up because james murdock ended up fighting off on a big out of court settlement. the big question is, why he did that? did he not realize it was so endemic? >> this inquiry covers news international but also people at the top of the political system. >> that is right. this is wide-ranging and it goes police,three p's -- politicians, and the police. they are trying to see how this was allowed to go on on such a wide scale. some police and government officials were paid bribes by the newspaper. yet, it was never uncovered by

the police. the politicians carried on cozying up to the proprietors. it has gone on beyond what the market -- burdocks new. it has been damaged by the scandal. where does not love this and lead to? he has the head judge in charge of this making a recommendation. there has been so much speculation. >> that is right. a word on the timing. he is going to call him so prime minister's and david cameron himself say this is reaching a climax when it comes to the witnesses he is questioning. he is going to take a year to come up with his recommendations and will focus on how they can try and regulate the press to stop this from happening. >> we will be bringing you
