>> well, david, we're not going to default. and if you listen to your previous guest, he said we won't meet some obligations, but he didn't say we were going to default. i don't want to put the country through that, but the fact is, republicans and democrats have been irresponsible. they've brought our debt to the point where we literally can't borrow much more money without bankrupting our country. so, now is the time for the president, senator durbin, and the democrats to work with us and at least agree that we can make some cuts now and cap spending over ten years and let the states decide if some time over the next decade that we'll balance our budget. that's hardly a radical idea. >> senator durbin, you and others have described what senator demint just said as intransigence, a stubbornness and unwillingness to negotiate. the reality is, it's exactly what democrats said about president bush when he wanted to raise the debt ceiling for bringing up too much debt, and the scale was completely different there. i mean, now you

setting the blogosphere into a frenzy of comparisons with the case of dr david kelly why isn't the sean hoare story bigger reminds me how dr david kelly was gone off eerily similar tragedies of seen war and david kelly all this madness and more than that it can only show who are that's what i'm thinking something's not right. talk to kelly was 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 it led to scrutiny of tony blair's decision to invade iraq it was british journalist andrew gilligan who david kelly had spoken to to publicize his belief that the forty five minute claim had been exaggerated gilligan believes there are similarities between kelly and short haul being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience i really don't believe either david all sure was murdered because. i simply don't think it would have been in anyone's interest to murder them once they got into the public spotlight anyone with an iota of sense of

we--i asked david to research it, and david came back with, there is no other work written on this subject, and that was irresistible to us. you know, we feel very strongly about it. we knew we had an advantage if we went to speak to the people who do it, you know? i don't have to walk in cold. i'm not, you know--it's like, "how did you boys meet?" i know, you know, who i'm talking to, and generally, we're at least acquaintances if not close friends, and we're talking about events that we did together or that we've done, you know, separately, but the same event, you know, at different times. and it gave us a window into these people that other people didn't have. we asked them, "what really matters to you? "what are you willing to put yourself on the line for? "what are you willing to put your rep and your honor "on the line for?" (bender) "and why?" (crosby) "and why?" (bender) you should see their eyes light up when you ask that question. it draws something out of them equivalent to the music. it's the passion. it comes from that place that is expressed often in the art, but when you're

what really gave the story legs was the fact that david cameron to be. disgraced. because and because of the quality for the main it was director of communications i don't think without without that kind of. legs given to the story i think it probably wouldn't have been quite so big as it is now but the fact is there's been some real errors of judgment it turns out. the governing conservative party but the department's david cameron yet again his chief of staff has been shown to be essentially instigating a cover up by the connections because you have to sort of phone hacking and making sure that the prime minister then leader of the opposition david cameron didn't know about it as being a large element of fingers it isn't just a kind of heads in the sand and that is lethal for a prime minister and he's now in a real fight he is in a real really bad situation he could well be looking at some serious consequences for himself at the very least still around him. ok what is the phone hacking scandal in britain continues to unfold on a daily basis so in clouds gathering

david? >> deborah roberts at the world cup. as you say, disappointing for the u.s., but so fitting after such a trying year for japan. deborah, thank you. >>> we're going to turn now to breaking news out of london this sunday night. two stunning new casualties of the scandal threatening rupert murdoch's media empire. the chief of scotland yard resigned a short time ago, and murdoch's own protege has been arrereed. abc's jeffrey kofman is in london tonight. jeffrey? >> reporter: good evening to you, david. another day and another bombshell in the scandal that is rocking britain. make that two bombshells. a resignation here at scotland yard and an arrest. and it's not over yet. the scandal that shuttered one of britain's oldest newspapers is nothing less than an earthquake, shaking this country to the core. the casualties just keep mounting. the latest? the head of scotland yard. sir paul stephenson resigned late today. he insisted he had no involvement in his forces' failure to investigate wi

hello i'm david.

tragedies of sean horne david kelley all this madness and david can we sean who are this what i'm thinking something's not trying to kelly was the u.n. weapons inspector who first cause doubt on the government's claim that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes it led to scrutiny of tony blair's decision to invade iraq. by extraordinary coincidence kelly's body was discovered exactly eight years before that of sean hordes on the eighteenth of july two thousand and three it was british journalist andrew gilligan who david kelly had spoken to to publicize his belief that the forty five minute claim had been exaggerated gilligan believes there are similarities between kelly and sean hoare being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience i really don't believe either david or short or was murdered because. i simply don't think it would have been in anyone's interest to murder them once they got into the public spotlight anyone with an iota of sense in government would have known that to kill them would just would just amplify the story i think

help feeling there must be foul play involved in the sean hoare death much as i suspected with dr david kelly an uneasy feeling another one says it says everything about the british public paranoia that sean hoare is trending alongside david kelly that shows a deep distrust of all forests in this country and another one anyone else see the similarities in situation between sean hoare and david kelly or is it just me were they pushed or did they jump and in another extraordinary coincidence it turns out that both bodies were found on the eighteenth of july short hauls of course just yesterday and dr david kelly in two thousand and three so eighteenth of july a bad day for whistleblowers ok laura thanks very much for use of those well you know the. talk to the telegraph. drew gilligan thanks for being with us mr gilligan could hear me. you are trying to do your good stuff good to see you i mean one of your articles recently you say for many in power the news the world crimes are a god given opening to diminish one of the greatest jokes on the media exposure. when we saw a former labor lea

david? >> reporter: dan, good evening from kenya. and as you know, we've been reporting all week, on that long, perilous journey from somalia, to the refugee camps in kenya. for so many of those families, walking on foot, more than 100 miles, to get here. and what we discovered, that once they get to the camps, they're in for another excruciating wait. we pulled up shortly after daybreak. but could already see the line forming in the distance. refugees by the hundreds gathering in front of the large red gate, for the first food. we notice that emerging from the tinder dry desert, more families, finishing the punishing journey from somalia. a mother balancing all of her belongings and her baby, too. the camp has now swollen to 400,000 refugees, the population of cleveland, minneapolis. and not far off, fresh mounds of dirt. the nameless graves for the refugees that didn't survive. this mother just got here. we asked how long it's been since she and her children had anything to eat. six days. once they get through that gate, they wait

look of course david kelly was my source i was the reporter he talked to i was the reporter that broke that story about the weapons of mass destruction and and i can say from experience that that being at the center of one of these storms because of course my story did cause a storm perhaps the last really do a big media storm before this one. i can say from experience is a terrifying experience and and and actually you know i got through it because i'm a professional journalist i know you know i know the motives a lot of the people behind it the murdoch press indeed was particularly voile because they hated the b.b.c. commercial rival to them but david kelly was just an ordinary civilian courts up in that maelstrom and i can understand how frightening it must have been for him and i think similarly for for sure being caught up in this kind of stories tremendously pressurizing tremendously worrying and actually i really don't believe either david all sean hoare was murdered like some of the people on twitter saying because. i simply don't think it would have been in anyone's interest t

david? >> skateboarding down the 405. we've now seen everything. david wright, thanks to you. >>> we're going to turn this evening to three words that landed on millions of doorsteps across britain this morning. we are sorry. that was the apology from rupert murdoch, printed in all of his british newspapers. an extraordinary step. but the step he was trying to avoid is actually coming next. a very public grilling in parliament. abc's simon mcgregor-wood is in london. >> reporter: the apology was written and signed by rupert murdoch himself. we are sorry, it said. for the serious wrongdoing that occurred. for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected. and for not acting faster to sort things out. murdoch does not normally do apologies. but not everyone's convinced. >> although, he expressed his regret of what's happened previously, this is, i think by any standards, pretty false. >> reporter: true or false, it's seen as damage control, which has also claimed his two closest lieutenants. r

david? >> yunji de nies, thank you. i want to bring in our legal analyst, an abrams. you were watching this very closely today. how did the prosecution do, how did the defense do? >> reporter: the prosecution started off strong. they went from her behavior immediately after the incident to what they said was proof of a dead body in her car and the crime scene and linking it back to her. the defense had a rougher time. they were finally able to get to this argument that maybe the child died in the switching pool. the problem is, they're saying, then her father, george anthony, took the body and buried it. that's where they have a much harder argument. much less evidence. and i think that's going to be the toughest part. >> and we heard that the jury gets the case tomorrow. it's impossible to know, but if history is our guide, how long before a verdict? >> reporter: high profile cases tend to take longer. the jurors tend to read the legal language a little bit more carefully when they do a non

david? >> miguel marquez again inin norway tonight, thank you. >>> and back in this country, and to what's become a marathon of dangerous, punishing heat. as you head back to work tomorrow, some relief in the northeast, but tonight, abc's ryan owens from texas, reporting in on the huge part of this country with no break in sight. >> reporter: it's so hot outside, the crew replacing the turf at this football field near oklahoma city volunteered to work the graveyard shift. >> just too hard to work during the day. >> reporter: this is the 23rd day in a row dallas has been 100 degrees or hotter. that's the fifth longest triple digit run in city history. in ft. worth, the city has brought in officers on their days off to check on pets. there's a backlog of 400 calls. >> we're finding animals very sick. some have passed. it's very, very important to keep them watered and cooled off. >> reporter: across the middle of the country, it's not just the oppressive heat but a historic drought. the sun is

of the phone hacking making sure that the prime minister of the opposition david cameron did know about it there's been a large amount of fingers it isn't just a lot of heads in the sun i bet it is legal for a bribe and i'm not usually a betting woman but i have looked at a couple of betting shops and the old offering on cameron being the next minister to leave office at the beginning of the week the odds were one hundred to one and now they've dropped in some places to as low as forty one people also taking advantage of this situation of course the leader of the opposition has consistently stopped short of calling for the prime minister to resign and of course we've seen the commissioner of the metropolitan police to pull stephenson on his resignation saying essentially that he didn't see why he had to step down to hiring this new sort of well journalist neil wallis when david cameron doesn't have to step down so having hired and he calls and this is his director of communications so this is this is certainly not the end of this very serious for david cameron of course this scandal now

perhaps the most striking of which was that david cameron's chief of staff had declined a briefing from detectives about the hacking. tomorrow, when the drama substantially moves to politics and westminster, david cameron will have some quite difficult questions to answer. >> you personally advised one of david cameron's senior aides. his director of communication had hired a private investigation. how damaged car they buy this? >> we have not seen any killer blows. -- how damage are they buy this? >> there is a steady accretion of things. the ones that were given to downing street about the chief of to medication's relationship with a man facing trial.

david and mark, appreciate your time tonight. good to be with you.nk you. >>> still ahead, why the upper hand in this debt debate now does not necessarily mean long-term political gain for president obama. first, a key whistle blower in the news of the world phone hacking scandal is found dead. but my data is doubling. my servers are maxed out. i need to think about something else when i run.

the two top people in the metropolitan police and prime minister david cameron have all been paraded before m.p.'s know how to answer some very tough questions a lot of media surrounding that here in this country and there's been a series of anti heroes in this story the two murdoch's themselves david cameron has turned into a bit of a villain in the piece in the last couple of days and also of course the metropolitan police but now and i should add that this is just reports coming from the media that alexander lebedev hasn't confirmed this himself but it looks like he may be interested in becoming the hero of the piece essentially picking up the news of the world which of course was closed down making redundant in the process of two hundred journalists and picking up newspapers suppressed reassembling the pieces and releasing it under a new name which media reports are saying that he might call it news instead of news of the world he said according to bloomberg and various other media reports they don't have the cash that the movements but if he could get it together he writes consi

duke himself david welcome. and it's already here nice talking with you we've talked on the radio a number of times. good to have you here on television every now and then a republican or right wing talk show host will imply that they're horrified that there's a black man in the white house limbaugh with his brock the magic negro song comes to mind another example is their problem of any discussion of immigration reform is another example do you think that the republican party needs you because you represent their core race based views that they are afraid to say out loud and you're not afraid to say out loud. no i think democrats and republicans me because i'm not all right sopranos as you describe me i am a right so right. and i believe in the right of every people it will be free i believe in every people has that every people has a right to preserve their heritage and also they shouldn't face this criminalization of the recent court decisions in michigan show your p. an american now face racial discriminatio

david goodfriend has the floor. hi, david. >> hi, dylan. how are you?> good. >> in the midst of the battles, there's a falsehood being perpetrated that gets me madder and madder. conservative republicans claim that their philosophy of cutting taxes and gutting regulations is good for business and the economy. even some democrats fall into the trap of repeating these falsehoods. they point to the tax cuts they support. the truth, however, is that progressivism is great for economic growth and business leaders know it. the values of fair competition, good wages, and government as a tool for getting important things do in fact promotes economic growth better than conservatives will admit. the satellite tv industry would never have taken off with a law written by al gore and lackey. republicans fought it, but the results speak for themselves. conservatives claim that the minimum wage and other worker protections raise costs and harm business, but walmart, the largest retailer, has repeatedly called for an increase -- an increase in the minimum wage. why? it

call them are going going insane about it really comparing the death of sean hoare to the death of david kelly in two thousand and three but he of course was the u.n. weapons inspector who first cast doubts on the government's claims that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes so those two deaths are being compared widely on twitter and i'll just read a few of the tweets that we've seen comparing these two deaths one says i can't help feeling there must be foul play involved in the sean hoare death much as i suspected with dr david kelly an uneasy feeling another one says it says everything about the british public paranoia that sean hoare is trending alongside to david kelly that shows a deep distrust of all foresty in this country and another one anyone else see the similarities in situation between sean hoare and david kelly or is it just me what they pushed or did they jump and in another extraordinary coincidence it turns out that both bodies were found on the eighteenth of july short hauls of course just yesterday and talked to david kelly in two th

anyone else see the similarities in the situation between shaun hall and david kelly or is it just me were they pushed or did they jump and in another extraordinary coincidence it turns out that both bodies were found on the eighteenth of july shorn horse of course just yesterday and talked to david kelly in two thousand and three so a bad day for whistleblowers parties lorimer though let's get some more reaction on the fallout of the scandal surrounding rupert murdoch's news empire and talk to british blogger how recall the whole a very good evening two things have been on the line was you just heard there from our correspondent laura speculation circling on twitter about the similarities between the deaths of sean hoare and david kelly about you've got some to say about that too strongly suspect well i think the police have come out. they are they are treating this not treasonous suspicious and they don't believe that any third party was involved mr hall was was known. to be deeply troubled as one person put it to me with drink and drugs addiction it was actually the reason he was h

this is the reality, pat. >> david, what about -- >> david, hold on. let pat make his case. >> let me ask you this, chris. the republicans, say the mcconnell plan has a trillion or a trillion and a half in budget cuts in it. >> i don't think it does. >> in the house it passes. they send it to the president. he's going to veto it, shut down the government and puts if default? come on. >> the whole idea, mcconnell's, separate cuts from spending -- separate the ideological war fair fr faire to keep the country from debate. dress up lie indians and put on a show. they're running around burning down houses. it's a different type of tea paenchts they threw the tea in the harbor. >> pretty good. not exactly the dangerous stiff they're doing now. this is mrs. o'leery's cow politics. >> the markets understand what's going on here. that's why the republican dollar -- why u.s. bonds are at 3%. >> pat, we know your brand of politics is not 218 votes in the house of representatives. probably you're right. steny hoyer will come up with 100 democrats. >> right. >> th

david, thank you. i want to bring in abc's senior political correspondent jon karl tonight, also right there in washington. and jon, you've been digging into what's been going on behind the scenes here and you told me, you have the president and republican house speaker john boehner actually close to a deal and then what happened? >> reporter: that's right. they were both ready to at least begin talking about this big deal, but what happened is, speaker boehner faced the opposition, not only from tea party members of congress, but from his own leadership. eric cantor, the number two republican in the house, actually told him point blank that he would not support such a big deal if it included anything that could be called tax increases. and cantor said, not only will you not have his support, but he would lose many, many republicans in the house. >> and jon, it was not only eric cantor on the republican side, but nancy pelosi on the democratic side giving the president trouble. >> reporter: yeah, absol

it looked like she almost decked him. >> brown: let me bring you in here, david. the murdochs seemed to be walking a line. they're saying they're hands-on executives who run a huge business but they don't know everything that is going on. they didn't know a lot of particulars here. how does that jibe with what's known about the way they formed and run their business? >> well, i think what they were doing was portraying themselves as capable executives and capable managers who nonetheless didn't know some of the operational details that... it doesn't quite jibe with what we know about particularly rupert murdoch, his love of newspapers although the company's future is really in media and entertainment and television. you know, he came up through newspapers that ink runs in his veins. he's known for calling up editors and suggesting new tips or even change in the headlines. when he first acquired the wall street journal he's said to enjoy prowling the news room and being invigorated by it. the idea he had no idea, its is possible. it is as he said, you know, that th

as david cameron tries to explain his links with them. whole times could take their toll on cameron and. what really gave the story legs was the fact that david cameron. the disgraced. cosen of the conservative party for the maiden mr richards communications now i don't think without without that kind of. legs given to the story i think it probably wouldn't have been quite so great as it is now but the fact is there's been some errors of judgment it turns out. the governing conservative party but the prime minister david cameron yet again his chief of staff has been shown to be essentially instigating a cover up by the connections because in hard to see the phone hacking and making sure that the prime minister then leader of the opposition david cameron did know about it there's been a large amount of fingers in ears and just a kind of heads in the sand and that is lethal for prime minister and he's now in a real fight he's in a really really bad situation he could well be looking at some serious consequences for himself very least still

i mean as david cameron tries to explain his dealings with rupert murdoch's empire. cole believes those times could take their toll on both the pm and his government what really gave the story legs was the fact that they have a camera and. then disgraced. colson because of the quality photo made him is director of communications i don't think without without that kind of. legs given to the story i think it probably wouldn't have been quite as big as it is now but the fact is there have been some real errors of judgment turns out shared by the government because of that policy but the prime minister david cameron yes again his chief of staff has been shown to be essentially instigating a cover up by the connections because in have to do the phone hacking and making sure that the prime minister then leader of the opposition david cameron didn't know about it there's been a large amount of fingers in isn't just a kind of heads in the sand and that is lethal for a prime minister and he's now in a real fight he is in a real really bad situation he could well be looking at
