and then he said to me, do you think i killed wendy baribeault? i looked at him, and i said, yeah, i do. and i really didn't know. but i looked at him in the eye and i said, yeah, i do, and i don't think you want to hurt anybody anymore. and he said, you're right. i did it. >> i was supposed to be working with a colleague that day. he called in sick in the afternoon. we were going to go do cold calls knocking on apartments, sales, and he called in, he didn't want to do it. so i stopped at the printing shop, picked up some printing stuff, and i was on my way home. she was walking along the side of the road. and i just stopped the car, got out of the car, went raped her and killed her. >> malchik had the confession he had been waiting for, but he still was not sure about other missing or dead girls. >> we went out, and he show us where he had dragged her off the highway, where he had put her clothes, where he had committed the assault, where he had parked his car, at what angle, and this all had to do with wendy baribeault. and then after we were do

after winning murdoch's attention, wendi deng, 38 years younger, married the tycoon.aughters together. she's had various positions in his asian-based companies and produced a recent movie, "snow flower and the secret fan." >> our destinies are tied forever -- >> reporter: through it all, her main ambition has been to protect the interests of her daughters. what was the situation between her and the children? >> there was apparently tension when the question of the murdoch will was dealt with. she made absolutely sure that the two children she's had with rupert murdoch have been included in the settlement that was a bad within the family. one -- a battle within the family. one that she fought for tenaciously and won. >> reporter: she secured her daughters a sizable chunk of news corporation's stock. we asked for her story, but her representative declined. we asked for accounts of her personal life and conflicts with the murdoch children. her representative would not comment. >> with all the talk of rupert murdoch no longer able to lead this huge media company, is there

. >> wendi murdoch was easy to pick out in pink. when you're 38 years younger than your husband, it's nice to rub his back and pour him water before he testifies. she even restrained him when he pounded the table too much. but she didn't restrain herself when this happened. >> oh. >> reporter: an activist pulled a foam-filled plastic pie plate out of a plastic bag, some of that foam landed on m n producer jonathan wald as the attacker. >> plunges it squarely into the face of murdoch. >> and that's when his wife wendi whacked the guy, even picked up the plate. >> hit him back with it. it was extremely dramatic. >> reminds us of the woman who used her purse to try to knock the gun out of a hostage taker's hand. >> no. >> at a schoolboard meeting. >> this is the weapon. >> apart from shaving cream, all

that kind of fierce devotion and protection seemed familiar to those familiar with wendi murdoch. nbc's andrea mitchell has more on the wife of rupert murdoch. >> reporter: she responded in a flash, leaping forward to protect her husband from an attacker. instinctive, fierce, athletic. a former volleyball player in school. all that, plus a lot more. the young, glamorous, chinese-born third wife of rupert murdoch. >> i think all the people are movers and shakers here. >> reporter: for hours, all through her husband's grueling testimony today, wendi murdoch was right behind him, willing him on, clearly ready to respond. >> watching him so carefully, she was the first to be able to get up and, before the police or before anyone else, swat away this aggressor. >> reporter: now, 42, wendi murdoch has been married to the 80-year-old media baron for 12 years since meeting him as a young executive for one of his tv operations in hong kong. the union was controversial at first. rupert murdoch now 102-year-old mother called her new daughter-in-law a designing woman, especially after she cha

they are happier. >> does the type of game seem to matter, wendy?g images throughout the show that are violent. does it make a difference? >> of course it makes a difference. this is really about the gaming industry looking for a younger market. the average age of a gamer is getting up in years. the average age is 37 now. giving mature content to teens is dangerous. a 13-year-old boy cannot legally purchase a picture of a topless woman. he can become a character who gags or tortures her and murders her as long as she is topless. does that make sense as a father? >> i know. what do you say about that, jane, about the type of game? it could have benefits. does the type matter? >> the type does matter, but what i would encourage, wendy and parents to look at, is research showing the benefits for young people playing scary or violent games. not games that are rated "m" for mature. violent games like "halo" or "call of duty." the benefits seem to be a lot of release of stress and depression and hostile moods. >> these games have always been available. >>

wendy defending her husband and again the headline "murdoch eats humble pie."ust want to show you the "times" newspaper. that's what murdoch set up to salvage his reputation. there are photographs of him and his wife as they were driven away. just want to show you some of the tabloids as well quick lip. "the "daily mirror" foam waxes the headline on their newspaper. and finally, "the sun" reporting the headlines there "the most humble day of my life." we were earlier speaking to the public, max accepted a cash settlement from news of the world bank in 2010. after he discovered his phone had been hacked by someone working for the paper. when i spoke to him earlier i asked him whether he accepted murdoch's claim that he knew nothing about the hacking. >> yes, i certainly accept that rupert murdoch had absolutely no knowledge at all and i do think that his answer that the news of the world represented about 1% of his media empire worldwide and therefore, it was totally understandable and justifiable in my own experience of dealing with industry. there were many st

as you mention here wendy deng jumped up to defend her husband. we saw an arm swat there many the video. the thing is we've been watching this testimony for the last few hours here. it's been compelling testimony in and of itself, thomas. and then this has been the attention getter of the day. when you're standing here and you're listening to it and all of a sudden you hear the whole crowd, the mps, the members of parliament who have been involved in the questioning erupting audibly and looking with horror. you can see that reaction from james murdoch what's going on here? that was the attention getter. i think in some ways this encapsulates what the british people are feeling right now about rupert murdoch and those involved in this phone hacking scandal. richard wolf is an msnbc contributor and has been following this as well. the testimony today though polite, though the questions and answers have been mostly civil. they have been tough. >> they have been tough. this whole experience never mind actually what the brits would call that is a custa

it puts the focus on wendi. it was a moment that i'm sure right now they are saying, we are lucky people. >> martin, real quickly, i've only got ten seconds left. i need you to help me on this. this idea that rupert murdoch says i'm the best person to clean this up, meaning this scandal and this mess, you think shareholders and his board of directors will agree with him? >> i don't think they will ultimately, but in the short term, i think the company is so toxic that they'd rather he stayed in that position and rode this out. but remember, there are something like three separate criminal inquiries into what's been going on. i suspect that in 18 months' time, rupert murdoch won't be in the position that he's in today because by then these inquiries will come home to roost. there will be prosecutions. and people will be sent to jail. >> martin bashir -- >> i give them till the end of december. what did they know? when did they know it? that's now where this scandal is at. >> michael wolff, martin bashir, thanks t

let me start with you, wendy. i know you disagree with the ruling. you say video games can be harmful. how can we protect our kids? >> in some ways, video games can be catharsis. for teens and the developing brain, think about it. how do we shape behavior? through repetition and role playing. now these children and the studies are showing that the average number of hours that an adolescent boy place games is 13 hours a week, a girl about 5 hours a week. those kids tend to have more conflicts with their teachers, more aggression at school and lower grades. we're actually training aggression through these games with the developing brain. >> there are so many studies on this, the supreme court cited a lot of these studies as well. jane, you have a different take. do you think these games can be harmful? >> well, i do think the research shows if kids are playing games more than 20 hours a week, there can be negative impacts. the most important thing for parents to understand is fewer than 20 hours or week or less than 3 hours a day has been shown to have

didn't see too many thanks the wendy's ok next up with this guy is being called a robot we've seen a lot of politicians that give the same answer over and over and over and over again but this one is really that this is a labor leader ed miliband from the u.k. just days destruction. of the road trip get ready to go straight into a bill and still perhaps get round to give to each table put aside the rhetoric and see the problem. is to get rather leaders as you can tell you will put aside the recruit get ready because she will put aside the rhetoric and stop this kind of action when you get strong as a rule. that was pretty bad i guess is really talking point you could remember oh yeah he our person before me was the deal did he do that on purpose was he trying to make a point politically. it was a little bit of a longer interview and so we showed you where he discovered being the same lines but it was you couldn't think of anything else to say how do people like that even get elected i mean it was literally the same talking points just rearranged and they arranged and rearranged but y

i mean, wendy is right. i thought baez, although clumsy and a little linguistically challenged at times, made some very interesting points in his closing. there were a lot of people that had contact with that car. some of them law enforcement who did not smell anything. there is duct tape on the child's face. but how did it get there? the child is dumped in the woods, but how did she get there? so there are a lot of gaps there. now, that said, most murder trials are circumstantial evidence. and i do think that there was a ton of circumstantial evidence, as linda burdick said yesterday. the only one in this scenario that had access to all of the evidence, the blanket, the child, the car, was casey anthony. >> the jury is looking at seven charges here. no one really knows how caylee died. a lot of circumstantial evidence, as i mentioned. does it make it easier for the jury, wendy, to say we don't know what happened. so let's not convict her on murder one. but let's convict her on lesser charges. can they do th

wendy is also going to join us, wendy murphy, who is a former prosecutor. what do you think of what has happened just within the last two or three hours and with what jonathan was just telling us about these allegations of lies? >> well, you know, call me a cynic, but i sort of think this was more predictable maybe than others. i wrote a piece for "women's e news" and i said, this guy's got a lot of money, this case is going to go, poof. it's really all about what story will come out to make it seem legitimate. i'm very suspicious of this story on so many levels. number one, if it remains the case that the defense is consent and she says it wasn't consensual, who cares what she's lied about in the past? let a jury figure out what is the truth. and also a past history of sexual offenses, does that mean he really is guilty and let's not even have a trial? do we make such judgments about people's past? and let's remember, right away in this case, dsk had people in africa offering this woman money in exchange for her making this case go away. what i'm thinking

and i e-mailed back, go, girl, or go, wendi. he was very fragile, contrite at the beginning and started to get more resilient, more rambunctious toward the end. he came out strong about the telegraph. an important point here. two years ago, the british public seemed quite content to -- when the "daily telegraph" broke a very big story about the abuses on mps' expenses and obtained this information by paying for it, paying for stolen documents, what he was trying to point out, he created a culture there to expose the establishment. and clearly what we saw today was the beginning of a process which needs to draw a line between exposing and making a democracy transparent which is good, and tampering with the law and doing illegal things and describing police, which is clearly very, very bad. but it was apparent that he wasn't -- >> let me bring in james fallows on that point. what was interesting watching it, i saw people observing the murdochs seemed to be a bit mumbling. this reminded me of the meetings i had with him 16 years ag

one is the murdoches and the news corporation, wendy side bar.nd second the rest of the british media culture appears to have the same issue at hand and the third is now the penetration into british politics, head of scotland yard resigning and david cameron 163 questions in one session and the most speculative, i think, what kirsten was saying, most american audience, can the obama justice department or somebody else find some way into damaging or subpoenaing the american part of this operation, which has no linkage i know of to anything happening in britain. >> that's pretty farfetched, number four. i can tell you i was impressed. the guardian actually did a story how it was, i won't say the word on tv, but cluster-- and interesting, also, talked about the fact that bbc and cnn were trying to make as much hay as they can, because they're afraid of the competition and they really wanted to slam down the competition. i thought that was very interesting. the new york times came up with something interesting, this is the best kind of story we don't

a wendy, is this an acceptable role for government?ble >> there's a tendency when we see a problem to look at it in isolation. then come up with unreasonable solutions like putting a tax on food. w that would penalize everyone. instead, we need to look at thee whole problem, it's not only lik overeating, it's things like watch can tv, video games, t whether it's a child or adult you're more likely to eat more.e i think we need to deal with it a holistic problenot think that the government is the solution. >> you know, i agree that we need to deal with the holistic problem but a couple ofim important parts of the problem which would be the fact that this is going tohe p disproportionately impact lower income families in communities who don't have adequate access c to healthy food, medical care, the challenge that i have in tho short term it seems like a logical solution, remove chirp from the homes, give them nutrition they need send them back. who does it disproportionately impact and what larger problems is it tackling? >> go ahead. a

so we want to take a closer look at wendi deng murdoch. in china roughly half of his age and may not surprise you she was once a very good volleyball player. linda lu of "newsweek" and the daily beast profiled her in the article crouching tiger and flying murdoch. obviously, this woman is no wallflower. but she is pretty accomplished in her own right. i mean, yale is just one example. >> reporter: she's very tough. she's very intelligent. she's as ruthless as any of the murdochs. i think she is someone one should not underestimate. >> just to give a little context, they met, i believe was it a party in hong kong? she was actually working for the tycoon? >> reporter: right. she was -- she managed an internship after graduating from yale. at star tv which is the sort of flagship murdoch's flagship in greater china and she great crashed one of their annual parties where he was there and that was apparently their first meeting which was relatively brief, but, obviously, very meshlable because then she was his translator in china and hong kong.

the move is now being referred to as the crouching wendy hidden dragon.er the attack, wendy tenderly cleaned off her husband. >> carefully wiping the foam off his jacket and his face. she was smiling and seemed quite happy that she had managed to score a blow. >> reporter: we watched her crossing her arms and crossing her legs, but it was the right cross we won't forget. jeanne moos, cnn, new york. >> she's tough. good for her. thank you very much, jeanne, for that report. >>> that's it for me, thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." for our international viewers,

>> hey, pat, wendy. some local mid wives say their practices have increased three-fold over the last year. they believe that women are trying to avoid having cesarean sections and giving birth the natural way can help them avoid that. but they don't want to put their babies at risk. so now they're getting the best of both worlds. >> you know, when you tell people that you are intending to have a natural childbirth and not have an epidural and not have pain meds, you do get a lot of looks and a lot of people thinking that you are totally crazy. >> reporter: erica rominger and her husband, tim long, didn't want to use any medical interventions when they had their first baby. that meant no drugs to ease the pain of labor, and definitely not a cesarean section, if they could help it. >> women's bodies have been evolved to do this. >> as long as i was healthy and the baby was healthy and strong, that's the way we wanted to go through the birth. >> reporter: with the cesarean section rate in the u.s. at an all

suddenly it's no longer wendy the so-called gold bigger, now some are calling her crouching wendy, hidden tiger. they have her as a cartoon character, the asian tiger wife. one slap for wendy, and one knockout blow to the cry of asian women. the harder she slapped, the more she could tell how eager she was to protect her husband. she's still a woman who longs for love. people are starting to see the gold digger differently, and wendi dong. if murdoch was just one poor old man, would wendi dung stay with him and have his babies? everything between them is about money. >> i used to thing she only loved his money, but her move was fast and instincts. this may be actually true love. she might really love him. >> i admire her courage, this man says. she did it out of her obligation and responsibility as a wife, and she did it very well. rupert murdoch was singing his wife's praises on an interview just last month, a tough woman he called her. the 80-year-old gushing about meeting wend yichi when she wor for star television, and falling in love with a woman half her age, and convincing her to m
