this is great britain. i can tell you, winston churchill is turning in his great. >> host: i saw a report that indicated there are no less than 50 sharia cases currently in american courts. most of them having to do with custody laws and family law, but nonetheless that's a pretty shocking statistic for a country that supposedly says through the sixth amendment, the supreme court will be the spring law of the land. how could that coexist with sharia? >> guest: people don't know this is going on under the radar screen. it's great you mentioned that. it starts out in marital disputes. the divorce court type thing. i want to divorce my wife, my husband, god forbid beats me. that's how it started in great britain. you haven't imam or a tribal elder and one of the pillars of the muslim neighborhood in great britain or sweden or france, basically acting as judge and jury, literally handing down rulings for married couples in the west among muslim couples in the west, acting outside of the law of this country. and

and they really wanted to have a great britain cleansed of the impurities and corruptions of great britain. now thomas jefferson wa--and--and i use him to stand in for other eople, but he was so far and away the important figure here--saw this is a--just a terrible loss if the revolution in america just stopped at being another great britain, and he wanted to see a revolution in the sense of creating a new kind of society that was thoroughly democratized, where there was political participation, where there was free speech. he wanted to animate the--the--the public. he--and he very much wanted religious toleration, and he was very interested in scientific speculation. but he had this idea that human beings--and he--we have to say he really meant white men had been shackled down, they'd been burdened by hierarchies: hierarchies in the church, hierarchies at home and the father, hierarchies in politics. and if you could just get rid of those hierarchies, you would release the energy that's just bubbling in there, in each human being. so he challenges washington's administration, and they do

, um, and be it changed forever the view of people in the north and in europe, particularly in great britain, about what slavery was like. and, of course, it was one of the greatest, most powerful novels ever written. and there's a huge debate today about whether that novel is good, bad, whether we should teach it or not. but nevertheless, it did add to this agitation in the north over slavery. there's an apock create fall story that lincoln met harriet beecher stowe and said this is the little lady who started this great war. whether he said it or not, you know, it's meaningful. kansas, the war in kansas, the kansas/nebraska act of -- you had a civil war, you had murder going on. people of kansas and missouri were murdering each other over slavery. if you think we're living through tough times now, i mean, nothing compared -- i mean, you had bands of guerrilla fighters including john brown. and john brown, who's insane, but not insane enough to commit murder, gets together with his crazy family and a bunch of other anti-slavery nut cases, and they're out there with a guerrilla army in kansa

these, joe, is must-see tv day for all of great britain and not just great britain, elsewhere as welly media coverage. the former deputy prime minister, john prescott put it as only he could put it. these are the three musketeers of the murdoch media empire. put that along with a phone hacking scandal appearing in that building today and you've got one heck of a story. >> 26 meetings between cameron and -- what do we know about that? >> well, we're only finding out about that, because david cameron when he watched his judicial and political investigations and inquiries on this to try to get at bottom of this about ten days ago, he said that he would also publish and that also politicians should begin to do the same thing. in fact, he was going to try to make it a law, that all meetings of politicians with the press and with the police should be published, and he was going to make himself an example of that by exposing all meetings. whether they were coffee or lunches or dinners, or others and if you do the math, i haven't seen the exact document, but i'm told by colleagues if you do t

it's still galloping its way through great britain where it is the story. tomorrow we get to hear from rupert murdoch. tonight there's another new development in this. we want to begin our reporting with nbc's stephanie gosk in london. stephanie, good evening. >> good evening, brian. every day since this scandal broke, there seems it be a new bombshell. revelations, resignations, arrests. the last 24 hours are no exception. it's left people in this country wondering and worried what will happen next. the fabled scotland yard is reeling after two sudden resignations of its most senior leadership. sir paul stephenson, the police chief, and his deputy, john yates, career policemen who are the latest casualties in the phone hacking scandal. scotland yard is being accused of mishandling the investigation into "news of the world qug, maintaining at times close relationships with the very people they were supposed to be investigating. police officers accepting bribes from reporters has allegedly been commonplace. stephenson and yates deny any wrong doing on their

that we have used the opportunity of a new treaty being put forward to protect the interests of great britain to get this out of the bailout mechanisms of the future. as new proposals come along we could use this again. but right now, the priority should be to work for stability because 40% of the exports go to countries in the euros zone. >> does the prime minister agree with the deputy prime minister that this is patronizing trouble. >> the deputy prime minister and night -- we agree about many things, but this is set down in the coalition agreement. i am a strong supporter in the institution of marriage and we should recognize this in the tax sector. >> and illegal migrant workers were arrested, and they were paying national insurance. why can't we prevent the illegal workers from getting national insurance numbers in the first place. and the tax authority should let them know that these people are not allowed to work. >> the application process for these numbers does include an identity check and the condition that the individual is entitled to work. national insurance numbers should not

76% correctly said great britain. but 19% were unsure and 5% named some other country. >>> great britain, you know, it's where they play wimbledon. and today it is where novak djokovic fulfilled his boyhood dream and won the men's final. the 24-year-old from serbia beat rafael nadal in four sets. afterward, djokovic called his first wimbledon championship the most special day of his life. >>> and coming up next, making a difference, an extraordinary bond formed by women sharing a profound loss. >>> as the country celebrates its independence this weekend, it's worth remembering those who have sacrificed so much for the freedoms we all enjoy. they include, of course, those who have died in iraq and afghanistan. in tonight's "making a difference" report, we meet an exceptional group of women who have lost their husbands or fiances in those wars, and have joined forces now to help themselves heal and to embrace life. nbc's peter alexander has their story. >> ready, set, go! >> reporter: they are fun-loving and fearless. a

this is really must-see tv today in great britain and for many other places. certainly the united states, which is why there's so much media here today as well. as one british politician put it, it's the three musketeers of the murdoch media empire and the phone-hacking scandal that will appear here later today. they'll be grilled by ten members of a select committee. it doesn't sound like much, it's the committee for culture and media. these hearings will only last an hour for rupert and his 38-year-old son, james murdoch. and another hour following that for rebekah brooks, who was as we know now, the chief executive of murdoch's british newspapers before she suddenly resigned last week. members of parliament in terms of what we're going to hear today, they'll try to get the murdochs and brooks to commit themselves on the record. saying things that they might be able to use against them later. especially if what they say turns out to be misleading. they're not going to be on oath, but they are going to be on what they call here, on honor and that's just as si

do you think the tactics over there in great britain could have happened here as well?ere as well? >> well, in one example the cincinnati inquirer, more than a decade ago had to pay $10 million and apologize for obtaining legally the voicemail messages it was investigating and lots of instances of journalists either fabricating stories or networks paying for interviews. they always say we're not paying for interviews, buying photos of people in the news, but nothing, kyra, on the level of this kind of systematic, appalling you know, hacking into the phone systems of not just celebrities but we've now learned lots and lots of ordinary britons. >> we want to point "wall street journal," "new york post" fox news, all different on many levels, but i think -- >> yeah. >> definitely not the same thing when you're talking about tabloid newspapers in great britain, but it does have people asking, you know, is it possible that because this part of murdoch's empire here in the states, could we see investigations with the "wall street journal," the "new york post" fox news? is it

france and great britain along with the united states is not enough. to really turn this into a village in the government, it requires other members of the eu and other members to recognize the transitional council -- to really turn this into an illegitimate government. >> so the transitional government can have access to money? >> absolutely. it comes down to money. the transitional authority is desperately in need of money to buy arms and supplies that they need. if the united states' -- the united states' recognition helps to unfreeze some of those assets, as well. there are some subject, i am sure, to some sort of litigation. >> the coalition is more confident about who they are dealing with in terms of the rebels? >> absolutely. they have in pew did much more confidence in this, but there is also something on the flip side going on. just the other day, both france and great britain have signaled that they were willing to let the fox stake in the henhouse. in other words, that gaddafi could stay in libya. i think this recognition was tiring to take

76% correctly said great britain. but 19% were unsure and 5% named some other country. >>> great britain, you know, it's where they play wimbledon. and today it is where novak djokovic fulfilled his boyhood dream and won the men's final. the 24-year-old from serbia beat rafael nadal in four sets. afterward, djokovic called his first wimbledon championship, the most special day of his life. >>> and coming up next, making a difference, an extraordinary bond formed by women sharing a profound loss. hey, the new guy is loaded with protein! really? 25 grams of protein. what do we have? all four of us, together? 24. he's low fat, too, and has 5 grams of sugars. i'll believe it when i--- [ both ] oooooh... what's shakin'?

[ major nutrition ] new ensure high protein. ensure! nutrition in charge! you can

well certainly there are a lot of politicians whether it's in england whether it's in great britain or in the united states that have very very deep ties with news corp and that happens in a lot of forms and fashions its not only in terms of the staff members and the relationships that have been built with news corp executives but also the money issues that have been coming into play here both in terms of campaign finance and direct the lobbying efforts that have been waged by news corp and its various subsidiaries who would have thought would end up like this almost a fight isn't it between heavyweights meadow can catherine who do things eventually going to lose his job oh it's very difficult to say but certainly you have the news corp folks reeling right now and but but of course with david cameron and many of my colleagues have been reporting on this to a great degree in a very bad situation to now here in america things have not heated up quite as much nearly as it has over in england but you've got to be able to think that you know a month or two months or sometime down the road t

look, we think that what happened in great britain is outrageous. journalism, an standard we want to see here in the united states. and in fact, if such actions took place against individuals and entities here in the united states, you know, it needs to be investigated. certainly, in my concern for 9/11 victims and families, if what is alleged actually took place, it would be punishable in the federal law for each count and five years in prison and a fine. we need to get to the truth of what that is. and ultimately, this is you know, the type of journalism that was taking place there in great britton. if it came to our shores, that's pretty despicable. >> so you are calling for an investigation by the justice department or a personal investigation or both? >> i've called for the justice department to ascertain the truth of the questions and to pursue the truth no matter where it leads us. if in fact that investigation, which i have vote offed the fbi out of new york, has begun an investigation to look at whether or not the facts are such that it wou

the inquiries into this behavior will continue into great britain. for the rupert murdoch

it pays to discover. >>> great britain's hacking scandal grew even bigger today. a reporter in the guardian newspaper says two of murdoch's rival papers the sunday times and the sun obtained information about prime minister gordon brown's family and his finances. the british subsidiary of murdoch's news corp has already shut down "news of the world." on news they hacked into vice mail of dead soldiers and murder victims. one of his former aides has been arrested in connection with this scandal. >> these things we are hearing are absolutely appalling. and what people need to know is that i'm determined we will get to the bottom of this. >> cnn international's becky anderson is keeping track of murdoch's rapidly list of growing problems. becky, let's just start with today. remarkable to hear from the former prime minister saying he was a target here. >> reporter: we're hearing talk that journalists and private investigators hacked into gordon brown's phone, as they had done with other people "the news of the world" but also tried to access by blagging, trying to be

my son and i came here with great respect for all of you for parliament and for the people of britain that we represent. this is the most humble day of my kroor and all that has happened i know that we needed to be here today. james and i would like to say how sorry we are for what has happened. especially with regard to listen toing the the voice mail of victims of crime. my company has 52,000 employees. i have led it for 57 years. and i have made my share of mistakes. i have lived in many countries, employed hundreds of honest and hard working journalists. i own nearly 200 newspapers and followed countless stories about people and families around the world. at no time do i remember being as sickened as when i heard what the dowda family had to endure. which i think was last monday week. nor do i recall being as angry as when i was told that the news of the world could have compounded their distress. i want to thank the family for graciously giving me the opportunity a apologize in person. i would like all the victims of phone hacking to know how completely and deeply sorry i am apol

fox news viewers are going to be able to draw the line between the good with what happened in great britain and fox news so i don't think it's an art that there had seen enough fortunes talking about this through already you know just you know it's i saw report on it this morning that ok so they finally started you're not so you have not seen it like you are in the new york times of seventy eighty over because. finally their main competitor rupert murdoch who owns the wall street journal yeah . what a bunch of george speight promoting their joints i'm just saying it's not it's not nearly always a big more havel's it is the wouldn't do it also present in the early days then once they did it's not morally consistent editorial line or. i mean quite a bit of look i think it what they did is awful but the idea that like this is a major news story in the new york times when it's what happens in a british tabloid industry i mean that's you know they're not i mean i visited this conservative les hinton who was running the wall street journal apparently is the guy who was running this i mean he was

do this work clearly great britain wanting to put one of their bases here but certainly not yield the same freedoms. well no i mean that you know it's not a two two way street here that i recall as an aside the president of bolivia once said when they asked him to put a u.s. military base there he said all alone here when we can put our bolivian base in the united states clearly that would not be acceptable to u.s. officials and you're right the british people should be complaining but you know this is all going on during the cold war when it was argued that although the missiles from the soviet union would be striking that britain first to knock out those installations there is no threat here there is no intercontinental ballistic missile threat here this is all cold war project and the british people ought to just be saying you know i'm of the country you know we don't need this kind of militarism here in great britain another concern there is simply that you know this is the militarization of space and is this really necessary you know we can take a back and money issue but is this

and so i think fox news viewers are going to be able to draw the line between what happened in great britain and fox news so i don't think it's unheard that there has unit of actions by those who are you know in this case i saw a report on it this morning that argues that we finally started quick you're not you have you're not seeing it like you are the new york times just having a day over because. finally their main competitor rupert murdoch who owns the wall street journal yeah they're being paid what a bunch of george speight we're not getting there george i'm just saying it's not it's not there is no hey it's a big half over there is to wouldn't do we are so pleased that morley he's done what they did it's not morally consistent editorial line. i mean it's all look i think what he did is awful but the idea that this is a major news story in new york times what it's what happens the british tabloid industry i mean that's you know they're not i mean i visited conservative les hinton who was running the wall street journal apparently is the guy who was running this i mean he was running th

the international response has been mixed. 22 million pounds have been given from great britain, with half of that from the united states. those who sent 1.6 million pounds are accused of a nut -- ignoring the alarm. >> this is overall, dangerously inadequate. we expect others to contribute. others are beginning to put their shoulders to the wheel. this is happening rapidly and vigorously. >> money is not the only problem. there is a militant islamic group, that has made it too dangerous for foreign aid groups to operate directly. the ban has been lifted but the politics are complicated, and the aid is not getting to the right people fast enough. and so the images of hunger and helplessness, and the scramble for money and access, as the famine bites into somalia. >> in other news, the leader of ireland has launched an attack on the vatican, for encouraging the leadership not to report pedophilia by the priests. he says this is a function of elitism and our system that is present in catholicism. libya says the removal of gadaffi from power is not on the table. in afghanistan, forces ha

the scandal now of news international, started in great britain, but it has now a chance to possibly make it over to the united states, but we have confirmed through the fbi that they are now, law enforcement sources, that the fbi is now looking no this hacking scandal in which journalist who worked for news international and tabloids over in great britain possibly tried to hack into the phone numbers of 9/11 victims and possibly some other u.s. citizens, so now this scandal that started over in great britain has a chance to make it to the united states and the fbi it appears right now is getting involved. we'll have much more on this still developing story throughout the next couple of hours here on cnn. also coming up for you this hour, the man accused of killing and mutilating an 8-year-old boy is arraigned in court. the charges, first-degree kidnapping and first-degree murder. we will take you there coming up, and adarandi kaye just mentioned to you a moment ago, l.a. is gearing up for gridlock. you might be thinking, well, what's the big deal? it's l.a. they are used to gridlock

i do think that lots of people involved in this company are going to be prosecuted in great britain, and that is a big, big problem. and not so much because i think murdoch is going to be criminally cro criminally prosecuted, but the question is the very docile board of directors of news corporation, which is so dominated by the murdoch family, are the outside directors going to say, look, this is too much of a distraction, too much of a humiliation, to have these murdochs who were at best asleep at the switch, still in charge of the company? and that's the real peril at this point, it's will murdoch be in charge, will the murdoch family keep control, not will they be prosecuted, not will they go to jail. the issue is will they keep control of rupert murdoch's lifelong. >> excellent points. we'll keep track of this one. >>> the members gang of six who might or hope have a plan, it could be the breakthrough washington needs to start getting out of the debt crisis. >>> as we go to break, remember, we're watching a live vote from the house of representatives from a republican plan that

what we saw today was evidence of the sad tale of what has happened to modern great britain, and how one man has been able to capture the political system, the media, and the cops of a great nation of regeneration or two. it is appalling. the one thing i think the girl is right about -- the one thing that i think the earl is is right about it is that this is a partially criminal press at the store level -- sewer level of politicians. we're not talking about the sewer, and the british public has lapped it up, just as much of the american public has lapped up this tabloid journalism, though perhaps not this extreme, as other journalists have stood by and said this is perfectly fine, we understand, we laugh at it, it is kind of funny. it then you realize this is a terrible business, and a whole country has been polluted by the people that we sell out there today. >> on twitter, it has been called hack-gate. is it a moment like that, of change? >> for almost 40 years, i have winced almost every time the murdoch press has appended "gate" to something else. then i wrote a piece the other d

and great britain we are both countries in both media environments where gossip sells and there's a tremendous interest in celebrity both countries are a buzz after rupert murdoch's news of the world newspaper phone hacking shocker broke in london his empire stretches far and wide across the u.s. as well let's not forget he owns the new york post the wall street journal and the daily at a protest outside rupert murdoch's big apple pad protesters demanded an investigation into his publications at home we know what murdoch does in england because he was caught and we want congress to investigate what he's doing here in the united states we don't know if newspapers are other people in this country yet but i see no reason to put it past them so how far from potential public embarrassment do american newspapers stand by the ones that are owned by rupert murdoch without question the new york post. is one of the most hideous deceitful. tools of criminals that there could be when it comes to getting scandal sold in the us counting on the readers short attention span is a common publishing trick jennif
