. >> rose: david irving, what happened in your trial?te a book on holocaust denial, my second book was on holocaust denial and in it i spent a few pages on david irving and i called him one of the world's leading holocaust deniers. he was a german writer as you acknowledged who wrote on topics of world war ii history, very popular, good writer, he did research, found documents nobody else could find because the germans gave him documents, et cete. but always took a sort of edgy kind of view. the gnat cyst weren't so bad, the allies weren't so good. and he at one point in '78 wrote a book on hitler where he said hitler didn't know about the holocaust and when he found out about it he tried to stop it. most reviewers said that's ridiculous but everything else is interesting instead of saying anybody who could propose such a ridiculous theory... >> rose: everything has to be questioned. >> exactly. ten years later he becomes a denier. he figures out he'll get much more traction as a denier. whether he believes it or not. he knows the docume

the line from paris on our to tonight barry high the rose we heard in laura's report more pressure now on the politicians especially prime minister david cameron who's faced calls to resign from two veteran opposition employees even with the last couple of hours could this scandal bring him down at the end of the day. i really doubt it but what strikes me as most about this scandal is that everyone seems to be missing the point. that the hacking of a few phone numbers is kind of interesting but the real danger of somebody like murdoch and his operation was the tremendous political power that he has in england and in the united states the power that's a bad it really carried out by through the organizations the news organizations that he owns and the fear of politicians now that fear has temporarily gone away but it's a fear that can always come back because this power is still there and he's used it to rebuild an enormous empire not only in britain but in the united states and in australia and that's the point that really seems to be missing the hacking is kind of interesting and exceeding what is more than interesting you bring. your
