father rupert — seen here with sons james on the right, lachlan on the left.rail of questions and intrigue. james murdoch's letter to the board of newscorp was terse. central to those qualms over content, it's thought the conservative editorial stance of newscorp assets such as the wall street journal and, most particularly, fox news. we're seeing a moment of real tumult and a rupture play out in public. and i thinkjames's resignation is a real manifestation of that. and it's an indication that he doesn't expect to have any real influence over the direction of fox news or its other properties in the immediate years ahead. back in the days of 21st century fox, the two potential heirs to the murdoch media empire shared power between them. but the sale of much of the fox entertainment business to the walt disney company two years ago led to james's departure as ceo. lachlan took over the remainder of that business whilst continuing to run newscorp, and it was there that differences between the two brothers seemed to grow. james publicly taking issue with newscorp

murdoch likes to pit these people against each other, but it looks as though lachlan murdoch will wins charged three people in relation to a twitter hack on july 15 that took over the accounts of high profile figures, including former president barack 0bama and bill gates. the justice department has named 19—year—old mason sheppard from west sussex in the uk, and 22—year old nima fazeli from orlando in florida. the third person is graham ivan clark, who's i7, and was arrested in florida. prosecutors say he was the main figure behind the hack. clark, the mastermind, lives here in tampa, committed the crimes here, and he'll be prosecuted here. working together, we will hold him accountable. the state attorney's office is handling this prosecution rather than federal prosecutors, because florida law allows us greater flexibility to charge a minor as an adult in a financial fraud case like this. that's the prosecutor in the twitter hacking case. the bbc‘s chris fox explains how the hackers managed to breach the security system. well, twitter actually today has explained a little bit more

murdoch likes to pick these people against each other, but it looks as though lachlan murdoch will winybe some day someone will make a tv drama about all this. could happen. thanks so much for your time. you bet. let's get some of the day's other news: a federal appeals court has overturned the death sentence of the boston marathon bomber, dzhokhar tsarnaev. at issue is whether the trial judge had done enough to ensure the jurors weren't biased. but the court upheld his conviction for helping to carry out the attack in 2013, which killed three people and injured more than 260 others. the united states has condemned the decision by the hong kong government to put back territorial elections for one year. hong kong's chief executive, carrie lam, said the poll could not take place as originally scheduled in september because of rising coronavirus infections. emails between the british socialite ghislaine maxwell and the late us sex offender jeffrey epstein have been revealed in a trove of unsealed court documents. epstein tells ms maxwell she has done nothing wrong in the 2015 exchange, wh

pitching lachlan, a conservative, against james, a democrat.s discredited those protesters, sought to portray them as less than patriotic or, in fact, unpatriotic. and that is something with which james murdoch has increasingly become uncomfortable. 0nce considered the frontrunner to take over the murdoch media empire, james found himself embroiled in the phone hacking scandal when he ran the family‘s publications in europe. by then, though, it‘s thought his brother had already strengthened his grip on power. a family statement said simply, "we are grateful to james for his service to the company and wish him the best for the future." president trump has announced he is banning the chinese video—sharing app tiktok in the us. he told reporters he could sign an executive order as early as saturday. us security officials have expressed concern that the app, owned by chinese firm bytedance, could be used to collect the personal data of americans. tiktok has denied accusations that it is controlled by or shares data with the chinese government. the

what it does do, however, is it gives more power, more influence to james murdoch‘ older brother lachlanal views are said to be much closer to those of rupert murdoch, indeed there are those who say that he is even more conservative than his father is. as far as the publications within news corporation such as the wall street journal, the corporation such as the wall streetjournal, the times of london, the uk sun and the new york post are concerned, difficult to see it would have much impact on them apart from perhaps putting an even more right wing colouring on their political viewpoint. and briefly as you say, james' letter was rather terse, the letter was rather terse, the letter in response from his brother and father was equally terse. i wonder if it hints at a sort of rest or disagreement within the family that have gone beyond just business? within the family that have gone beyondjust business? -- rift. i think it is a clear sign that there is a lot of distance particularly between locklin and james murdoch, and you are referring to thatjoint statement that was released by lachlan

a relatively strong report but i want to focus on the comments we're seeing right now from ceo lachland revenue did decline but dramatic drop in ad revenue was offset by affiliates doing much better. affiliate revenue increased 8%. part of that has to do with tv. tv segments, more people tune in. you're seeing lower local advertising revenue come in at various fox television stations. there is fewer live events because of fox sports. that weighed negatively on earnings, fewer house hours of scripted programing across the board. revenue came in line with expectations at $2.42 billion. earnings per share coming in a little bit higher, the dividend payout, that is the latest number i can give you, we're seeing 23 cents a share. a stronger than what we saw with disney but ad revenue is still a major focus. we're still seeing it down and lack of live sports are hurting fox sports but people are tuning in locally at least. back to you. jackie: kristina partsinevelos. thank you so much. the white house proposing a plan to lower drug prices through international price indexing. now new ads are
