a detective hired by "news of the world" hacked into milly dowler's voicemail when she was missing and messages on that voicemail freeing up space for fresh messages which would be fresh leads in the case, and that gave her parents false hope that she was still alive. here's what they had to say about it today. >> i rang her phone -- >> yes. >> and it clicked through onto her voicemail, so i heard her voice. >> yes. >> and i was, it was just like -- she picked up her voicemail, she's alive. and i just, it was then really, um, when we were told about the hacking, that was the first thing i thought. >> reporter: then actor hugh grant described his experiences with press intrusion, lashing out at outfits other than the "news of the world." grant suspects the tabloid mail hacked his voicemails. he said the media hype when he was arrested back in the '90s in los angeles with a prostitute was fair game, but the intense stalking of the mother of his newborn baby and other breaches of his privacy he said has been unacceptable. now, the result, martha, of thisinquiry will likely be recommendati

the first people we heard from were actually bob and sally dowler, their daughter went missing nine years and it was her case that uncovered the hacking scandal. the reason is when she went missing all those years ago there was a frantic search for her by police, by her parents. they had no idea where she was. and then when her mother accessed her phone -- her daughter's voice mail messages and found several of them to be deleted, this gave the family false hope that she was alive. we've just heard inside court now of that sort of euphoria her mother felt, only to learn years later that, of course, her daughter had, in fact, been abducted and murdered and that the people who had deleted those voice mail messages were, in fact, "news of the world" who were hacking into her voice mail to try to get a scoop. really what we're looking at here is not just "news of the world" but british tabloid journalism on trial. we've just started hearing from those witnesses today. >> atika shubert live in london for us, thanks. >>> here's what we're working to bring you at the top of the hour. outrage and

and, again, as the dowler's were saying, oh, you start thinking, oh, did that happen, does this explain something? and i arrived at my meeting and went up to the boardroom, and the managing director secretary came in and said, are you all right? i realized afterwards it was just complete shock. i had no idea that was happening. >> can i ask you something else about that period? what sorts of things were you -- you said you were writing columns during that period. what sort of things were you writing about? >> um, well, i was writing a lot for the times, and i was, um, i was writing columns for the times, and they would ask me to do additional things like vivian westwood was having a huge relate ro spective of her work, and they asked me to do a cover, and my name was on the cover of t2. i was also writing columns, and i think it was on the 8th of april, 2004 -- >> do you have that document -- >> oh, yes. >> it was handed out this morning to everyone in this room. >> yes. i wrote a column. this column had celebrities. i think there'd been a huge amount of interest in the marriage of the

if you look at the dowlers, the phone-packing case against "news of the world," they would not be able to make that case. chris jeffress, the man wrongly accused of that murder in bristol, maligned by the press, had to use cfa to get justice. people haves, those no justice. this whole campaign to restrict the use of cfa's has been heavily pushed by the tabloid press, and the government, in its infinite obedience, has said yes, fine. >> thank you. are clear on that point. the exposes carrying out public interest defense. you have already made your position clear on that -- >> well -- >> please say whatever you wish to say in addition. >> there are certainly cases where there is a public interest defense. if you are a politician who campaigns on out family values platform, it is of interest if he is having an extramarital affair or likes to dress up as a nun. we need to know about it, because he is a hypocrite. but i think the vast majority of these exposes are not in the public interest, and the public interest defense offered by tabloid newspapers are very flimsy at best.

they also heard from the parents of millie dowler. >> it clicked through on to her voice mail so i heard her voice and i was, it was just like, she's picked up her voice mail, she's alive! >> reporter: sadly, she was not but her parents' suffering triggered the initial firestorm that forced the "news of the world" to go under but now the practices of the entire british press are under fire. the testimony is going to continue all week, including appearances from other celebrities, the author of the harry potter books, j.k.rowling and actress sienna miller. >> stephanie gosk, thank you, appreciate it. >>> let's get a check of the rest of the top stories. natalie is at the news desk. >> we begin in egypt where violent demonstrations enter a fourth day now protesters calling for a second revolution and a million man march on cairo's tahrir square. nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel is there with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. that million man march is certainly under way and while it's unclear they've reached that number, as you can see, there are

the allegation that employees had listen to and deleted voicemails of murdered schoolbirl millie dowler when story has been obtained by hacking the phone of a murdered schoolgirl, i don't find that lovable or naughty. i find that cowardly and bullying. and shocking. >> it's worth noting it's not just murdoch's newspapers in the spotlight. victims say other papers have been hacked into their voicemails, too. otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get the information they had. this morning, those papers denied any wrongdoing. jeff? >> charlie, thanks very much. meanwhile here in the u.s., the penn state sex abuse scandal is bringing new attention this morning to the issue of campus crime and how sexual attacks can often go unpunished. >> critics say when a university's reputation is on the line, often officials decide the school is more important than the victim. correspondent debby turner-bell has more. >> reporter: laura dunn is a thriving first-year law student now. but seven years ago, as a freshman at the university of wisconsin, she alleges that she was attacked by two male class

this is the case of millie dowler and her mother sally testified to the fact that when they were searching she disappeared they checked her voicemail messages and found some of them had been deleted and this led to the hope that she was still alive. we now know she had been abducted and murdered and those voicemail messages were deleted by a private investigator paid for by news of the world, the british tabloid. it was really probable the most egregious case of how those tabloids basically interviewed with a police investigation. >> this seems to be widening beyond murdoch's publication? is that right. >> reporter: yes, most definitely. hugh grant pointed out that "the daily mail," others, he believes may have been involved in the sort of intrusive, possibly illegal measures. this is why the inquiry is being held to see if other newspapers were involved and if other illegal methods were used. >> atika shubert live in london for us, thanks so much. >>> all bets are now off on popular gambling website fulltiltpoker.com. the feds just shut it down and we will tell you why and how u.s. gamble

it was wrong to pay glenn mulcaire's legal costs, particularly as you had issued an apology to the dowlern came out and said that those legal costs were being stopped, but subsequently confirmed to us in a letter that any damages that are awarded against glenn mulcaire, the company will stand him good for. >> i am not a lawyer -- forgive me, mr. farrelly -- but i think there are questions here, with respect to mr. mulcaire being a co-defendant, of were there to be a case or damage award against him, that he was conducting work on the company's behalf, and then really the company is liable for those things. that is my understanding. again, i can provide more detail on that, if you like, but i think there is a legal point there -- i am not a lawyer, but there is legal point there that is worth noting, if he was an agent doing it on behalf of the business. >> it is vicarious liability. >> that's the word, yes, thank you, dr coffey. >> if he is now in a position where he cannot pay his legal costs and therefore cannot mount a defense, if he is sued, the court would just make an award against

what i am about to say briefly, i am not including in this the dowler family. but we do believe where criticism is made, and it is our belief that criticism is incorrect or for whatever reason false, common fairness requires wheat or any other participants who are affected ought to be able to put questions to that witness in order to put the record straight or a least to the other side so that everyone understands the inquiry is falling and so far as these witnesses are concerned, this is the procedure it the inquiry has required. we should put questions to the council who will put those questions if he thinks they are appropriate to the witness on our behalf. i have no doubt he will do a better job than i would. i do not want to hide what is an important concern -- that is reputation all criticism can be made by these witnesses in what is a televised situation without any opportunity for the opportunity -- for them to respond directly to the lawyers representing the corporate as been affected. can i just say two things. i understand your reluctance. if it beco
