as lord justice levinson says, the complaints commission is neither regulator are fit for purpose to fulfill the responsibility and that is why changes are urgently needed. mr. speaker, we welcome the fact the press industry themselves have put forward their proposals for a new system of regulation. but we agree with our justice leveson that these proposals do not go far enough. mr. speaker, in volume four of the report, lord justice leveson sent proposals for independent self-regulation organized by the media. he details the key requirements and independent self-regulatory body should meet including independence of appointments and pending, the standards code and arbitration service and a speedy complaint handling mechanism. crucially it must have the power to demand up front apologies and impose a 2 million-pound fines. these are the leveson principles. they're the central recommendations of the report. if they can be put in place can we truly will have a regulatory system that delivers public confidence, justice for the victims in a step change in the press is regulated in our cou

now, the levinson inquiry has taken in a huge range of people from all walks of life in the course ofhe inquiry. we've seen actors like hugh grant and sienna miller, rupert murdoch himself appear and uk prime minister david cameron to talk about just how close the links were between the media, between the press, between the politicians and between the police officers. for example in the uk. what we'll looking to hear from lord levinson is just how far he'll go in terms of whether there should be statutory regulation of the press in the uk, something which hasn't existed for four centuries here. and in recent weeks, a lot of the key members of the press in the uk here have started almost to panic slightly to come up against any kind of statutory regulations, urge that there should be an independent body to govern them. but that's the key thing we'll look thinking for today. that's what will affect news corp and other companies going forward. >> katherine boyle reporting for us live there. again, that levinson report due out at 1:30 london time and raising plenty of concerns about press

drew levinson tells us store owners are holding their breath. >> reporter: as in years passed with elbows sharpepped and smart phones in hand, shoppers are getting primed for black friday, the most analyzed day of the retail year and the holiday season opener. the good news for retailers, an early thanksgiving means the season is longer with 33 shopping days. but the economy is still sluggish, and washington atmospherics have rattled consumers. >> retailers are very concerned about the fiscal cliff situation. in a receipt survey, 72% of consumers say they were changing their shopping patterns as a result of the uncertainty over the situation. >> reporter: also dampening the forecast is super storm sandy. by one estimate, nearly 5 million households in its path will have to curb spending this year. to counter, the retailers are going all in, already offering discounts. and like last year, some stores will start opening on thanksgiving at midnight. with wal-mart, target, sears, and toys "r" us opening even earlier in a fierce competition to get very first shoppers. >> retailers know after m

today's developments, we're joined again tonight by warren levinson of the associated press.s been making his way around new york city today, and is just back from a trip to the evacuated bellevue hospital. warren, what do we know about why they decided to send patients away? >> well, we're not getting a lot of information from the hospital, gwen, but essentially what happened is just like new york university hospital up the road from them, they lost power when the storm hit, they had emergency generators, more of their emergency generators than n.y.u. hospital were working so they were able to maintain power. but when they took a really hard look what's doing in the basement they realizedded we've got 17 million gallons of sea water in here and these generators are not going to hold up. so discretion being the better part of valor, they're moving patients. it's a massive undertaking and probably won't be done for a day or so, nearly 500 patients who have to go. they were, as the storm was approaching, diverting patients to other hospitals but it's a laborious process to find

touch a system the milking rewriting the constitution is the only way says politics but sanford levinson he joins us now how do you actually go about changing the constitution well the only way to really write it literally is through a process of constitutional amendment by the supreme court of the united states which is conceivable if president obama wins the election and it is inconceivable if. governor romney wins the election let me ask you about this what do you think about delegate norton demanding payments from a low be assessed well. they are lenny people who describe the root system of campaign thought. as legalized bribery. the action is that six. but what it's well east is that it's probably legal that not only comes close but particularly if you use certain magic words that is bribery is not in on the lobbyists owns the phone she's upset the royals are getting money. if your fears are alan or north congresswoman eleanor holmes norton i don't know what you should you have to get. to our other colleagues on the transportation and infrastructure committee and complete candor rec

and in that case you can still talk about people like sydney pollack or alan pakula even barry levinsons working in that classic hollywood style. james? toback: i actually was thinking i find that an interesting core for a defition. i was thinking of a couple of aspects of, um, distinction between the hollywood style and to set it against something the personal style. the hollywood film is always grounded in narrative, always grounded in story first where the story exists and the characters exist to serve the story to move it along whereas in a certain kind of personal filmmaking that is outside that hollywood style, the story is a by-product of the characters and the characters are the reason... or character at the center of the movie is the reason for making that movie. the hollywood style says "tell me what the story is..." story is becoming outmoded in the hollywood style. "tell me what the gimmick is, tell me what the technology is or tell me the angle." but not, "tell me who this person is." i actually do find that a useful way of defining the notion of hollywood. now, joan, for y

today, lord justice levinson released his report detailing the scope of what he discovered in the british media especially focused, of course, on the enterprises owned by rupert murdoch that have been implicated in the scandals that have erupted over the past several years. to say it is not a pretty picture is to state the obvious. here are some of the figures detailed. 17 arrests have been made. with respect to payment of public officials 52 arrests have been made including 27 journalists. with respect to data hacking and improper access to personal computer records 17 arrests have been made. there were over 800 known victims of phone hacking by british media interests and until recently, none of this has been discovered by the sham, internal investigations conducted by officers of murdoch's own companies nor those investigations conducted by british law enforcement. based on these findings, it is safe to say that dangerous and highly-politsized corruption encompassed the media law enforcement and the top ranks of british politics. there is a real life conspiracy that sacrificed the civi

>> well, it's a very delicate balancing act that he has tried to perform here, lord justice levinson.don't have the first amendment here grarn teeing the freedom of the press, and so they're very concerned that they don't try and muzzle the press, while at the same time trying to gently suggest that they all join this scheme. they're not going to force the press to join this regulatory scheme, but there are going to be -- there's going to be sort of financial jeopardy if papers don't join in, it is suggested. they could be liable to greater damages in court cases, for example, and they're talking about a kind of stamp of approval of patients in the scheme could put on the front page to say this is a trusted brand of jumplism. they're trying to entice them in. the question is will the politicians agree to implement any of this? >> good question. thank you, dan. appreciate it. >>> we're talking about a brutal $6 billion campaign filled with those masty attack ads. you remember them. well, now president obama and former rival mitt romney, are they ready to bury the hatchet? break bread t

lord levinson was pretty damming of the media in general, he said at times it had wreaked half evacuate in the times of normal people and at times acted of its own code and as if its own code of conduct did not exist. he is now calling for a new genuinely independent selfregulatory body not influenced by the government, in his words and backed by new laws. he said the police did act wrongly at sometimes. as for politicians and their relationship with the press they said they did not act as times in the public interest. coincidentally in court today here in london two former executives of news corp.'s newspaper division here, news international. andy coal son and rebecca brooks are facing charges of alleged corrupt payments to officials. some 80 people have been arrested so far in this scandal. again these are just opinions, these are recommendations but they come after that lengthy custody deand from a very authoritative source. we are waiting to hear what prime minister cameron says and other politicians, then we node to hear what they are going to do with this. we've got to believe th

host: charles levinson, speaking with us from israel. thank you for taking the time.ur question for you is what is the united states role, what it should be. on our line for democrats, good morning. caller: our role has been so far, israel can be no wrong. but the majority of americans do not support israel right or wrong. that they can do no wrong. so if the american public were to suffer and show there were suffering because of israel's policies, they get us and some sort of a mess, i think israel will lose support of the american public. and if they do, elected officials will suddenly change their tune and not be saying all of these things that we have to support israel no matter what they do. the non violence solution is to join the movement to boycott israeli products and to withdraw and investments in is really industries the same way we did with south africa ove. it was the americans who made that decision and took action against south africa -- that got nelson mandela out of a prison. i think the non-violence solution will be for the american public to think a

levinson writing new arab leaders are involved in negotiations. thanks for being with us. guest: pleasure. host: first give us an assessment of what you're seeing and feeling in side israel? host: there's relay hot of shock to seetharaman the sirens going off in tel aviv and jerusalem. first time it's happened since 1991. and jerusalem since a long time. that's been certainly and the area around gaza is basically frozen. like they were frozen at the time. you know, there's also been a lot of, you know you can't forget the impact of the iron dome and the years it's had on the conflict. it shot down over 80% of the rockets targeted towards urban areas of israel. there's 300 rockets that haven't hit inability up areas and you can think what a different course if they had hit in the urban areas. tel aviv for all the sirens i haven't seen a rocket hit. host: your piece on how the arab leaders are trying to prevent this from escalating as we move into day five. who's specifically involved and what kind of bargaining do they have in negotiating with the israeli government to stop

we're waiting in just about two hours the levinson report on press ethics that was spawned of course spurred by the phone hacking. in the meantime bank of england's report on financial stability that caught the market's attention. strong words about banks needing to raise capital. that's still going on. hearing from paul tucker who was passed over for the next boe job. for the most part still seeing green arrows across the board. what accounts for the fact they're doing so well? for one we've known these concerns are going to be out there about regulators pressuring banks to raise capital. secondly, the levels so far that are being discussed don't appear to have investors spooked. so keep an eye on the uk banks. but more broadly speaking, doesn't look like much that will stand in the way of the rally. for now, joe, back over to you. >> okay. see, i don't think you sounded anymore excited sending it back to me than i did sending it to you. really, did you? >> i thought it was only fair. >> quid pro quo. you're right. i got it. >> you are a really good hanibal lector. >> coming up, reg
