mr. murdock, james murdock and ms. brooks will cooperate. but they didn't say necessarily that they'll testify so there's some question as to what form that cooperation will take. >> what does news international have to say about the latest allegations concerning former prime minister gordon brown? >> well he made these very anguished charges that news corp. had essentially targeted him, had sought to damage him. and interestingly, the allegations involved two newspapers that are not the tabloid news of the world but now we know it's been shuttered because of the role in the growing scandal. he says the times of london, reporters for the excuse me sunday times, had misrepresented themselves in order to obtain private and personal financial documents and other records. he said he was the subject of other forms of bragging they call it here and voice mail hacking efforts. in addition he says the saab lloyd sun newspaper, part of murdock's stable had somehow gained access to private medical records for his infant son. several years ago there wa

mr. murdock's testimony, a disturbance in the room. a man carrying a pie tin full of white foam of some kind approached the ceo. >> no, no, no. >> oh. >> outrage. >> shepard: rupert murdoch's wife in the pink there coming to her husband's defense. the hearing resumed after a short break with the now jacketless rupert murdoch, the attacker under arrest. by the way, as the murdocks testified, news corps' stock rose up 5.5% on trading today in new york. a gain on paper of $2.15 billion. but even with that uptick, the company's still lost on paper about $6 billion in value since this scandal broke. the details now from the fox business network ashley webster live with the news in london tonight. ashley? >> yeah. it has been a remarkable day. day of apologies and accusations. a day of high drama and low comedy. no doubt about it, today the spotlight fell squarely on hue pert -- rupert murdoch the ceo and son james murdock. much of the information focusing on who knew what when. both murdocks were unaware how extensive the tactics of phone h

mr. murdock, at what point did you find out the criminality was endemic at "news of the world"? >> endemic is a very hard -- very wide ranging word. and i also had to be extremely careful not to prejudice the course of justice which staking place now. >> -- which is taking place now. >> he said there is no evidence that any victims of the september 11th attacks were hacked. the fbi is still investigating that. >>> let's get a quick look at traffic and weather. kristy, trying to think, the weather yesterday, can you remember yesterday? >> it was gorgeous. if you liked yesterday, you'll love it today. we're pretty clear already this morning. taking a look at satellite you can see the marine layer isn't in the picture at least for the bay area. farther to the south it is but cloud cover, really not an issue this morning. a little bit of patchy fog. current temperatures pretty mild also still sitting in the 60s in some locations, 62 in fairfield and in concord. 58 in fremont 5. 4 in pacifica. and 59 in san rafael. those highs today finally breaking into the mid-90s inland. going to

mr. murdock's papers. ou weren't on good terms with him or he didn't like your political position, your life would be extremely difficult. that's why all the politicians at every summer party that rupert murdock hosted, including this year, every politician that was anyone attended the party. there was a sense that everybody was subject to the influence of this man. it's been amazing. the last ten days, you could count before ten days ago on the fingers of one hand the number of politicians who stood up to rupert murdock. now, they are treating him as though he's got contagious lep ra si. >> amazing. >> it's poisoned the environment. it's not just the poll titician. it's the case. the metropolitan police has 45 press offices. ten of them worked for news international. that's 25% of the metropolitan police. >> unbelievable. >> that's the kind of influence we are talking about here. >> incredible influence. a little color here. i have a new hero. >> who is that. >> i need him here. >> who's that? >> the order

mr. murdock's competitors. unmistakable. >> thanks. the f.b.i. arrested 16 members of the hacking group anonymous today in a sweep that stretched across the country. agents issued 30 to 40 search warrants. the group has claimed responsibility for numerous cyber attack against government and corporate websites around the world. the a.t.f. gun running operation known as operation fast and furious resulted in nearly two dozen arrests. but most of the people arrested were released. almost immediately. correspondent william la jeunesse looks into why. >> hi. >> hi. i'm looking for mr. carille? >> what is it regarding? >> are you aware of the gun indictment, the indictment regarding purchase of fire arms? >> at the center of fast and furious, 20 defendants all accused of trafficking guns to mexico. >> we feel very strongly that we have completely dismantled if not significantly dismantled major firearms throughout the organization. >> but that is not ok rate. despite serious charges we found most of the suspects at home. >> my name is william la jeunes

mr. murdock sr. and jr.,. >> here's his response when he was asked, who is to blame? >> have you considered resigns? >> no. >> why not? >> no. >> because i feel that people i trusted, i don't know who, i don't know what left, let me down, and i think they behave astroshsly, betrayed the company and me, and it's for them to pay. i think that frankly i'm the best person to bring this up. >> well, let me ask robert about this. is that going to work? is that going to be part of his confessional tour, if he doesn't confess? it seems a classic apology without a confession. >> i think this whole defense is pretty problematic. it's all very well if somebody of murdoch's stature said he didn't know what those on "news of the world" are doing, but then it just raises questions about how in charge he is, just how much in control of his organization he is, and whether he's fit to be the chief executive, as well as the chairman of news corporation. so it's a defense i don't think flies very far. he survived today. i think most people would give him a 5 or 6 out of 10, but realisti

mr. murdock for 30 years and this is their opportunity to ask it. bigger, wider question, is there an undue influence between his newspapers and politics and government in this country, or is that a conspiracy theory? >> a nonmurdock friendly crowd met the media mogul when he left a meeting to meet with the family of a murdered teenagers whose phone was hacked by news of the world's reporters. >>> atlanta teachers are accused of fixing the standardized test scores of failing students, the cheating could go back as long as a decade. >>> epic gridlock? massive traffic jams? well, so far there is no carmageddon in los angeles. crews are demolishing a bridge that's part of the 405 highway construction project. and so that ten-mile stretch is closed and folks thought that might bring gridlock on all the other roads and freeways. well, it hasn't so far. and remember those $4 jetblue flights between burbank and long beach, they were touted as a way to bye pass that carmageddon. well, we wanted to see if flying from one side of town was faster than actually

mr. murdock for 30 years. it is the bigger wider question, is there undue influence between his news papers and politics and governments in this country or is it a conspiracy theory. >> and of course the fbi is in the throw oigs of its investigation alleging that a private eye here in morning was asked to hack in to the poen records of 9/11 victims and their families. and they're trying to get down to the bottom of that, too. it's been quite a week. >> all right, susan, thanks so much. we'll check back with you. >>> the united states and japan facing off tomorrow in the woman's world cup soccer finals. fans around the globe are excited, but in one country, the game of soccer is actually helping girls reach a level playing field. >> translator: here in bolivia, will are more opportunities for girls than for girls to play soccer. >> bolivia itself is one of the poorest countries in latin america.in-equality is quite wide. level playing field is a nonprofit social enterprise based in the u.s. and our mission is t

mr. murdock. you know him very well.hese methods that were being used? >> he cannot have known because he would have stopped them long ago. they are absolutely appalling abuse of journalistic procedure. unforgivable to tap the phone of a murdered schoolgirl or the phones of relatives of troops killed in iraq or afghanistan and murdock would not have tolerated it. i'm afraid that -- >> i'm soer are. i when you think about what was done and the despicable things done, do you think he made the right call of just canceling it? it's done? >> it's a very difficult call because it's a very old historic paper which has a very great history, though it has committed abuses in the past like all tabloids do, but it's also exposed a lot of fraud and misdeeds, most recently it exposed corruption in the pakistani cricket team which was an important story. it's very sad. it's sad for also for the 200 people who work there, frightful for them. many of them will be given jobs in other news of murdock's papers in london. and he probably wi

mr. murdock had said i'm sorry and took out these big ads in the british papers, were those acceptable therepeople that might want to give, you know, rupert murdock, these newspapers the benefit of the doubt. it's not going to make the police happy, they're going to go on with their investigation, actually they've been given more resources to dig deeper in this situation and potentially to bring charges that hasn't happened as of yet. but there's an awful lot of police pressure within the police to get to the bottom of this. there's also public pressure as well. how many times rupert murdock and his people say they're sorry, is not going to satisfy the police and parliament. >> when they're in parliament tomorrow, is this under oath or not? >> yes, it will be. that's my understanding at least, and certainly rebecca brooks and the other individuals who will be facing, questioning in parliament, even rupert murdock of course and his son james, will be taking advice i expect from their attorneys as to what they can and can't say, by the same token, british parliament will be taking advice from

well i'm not a friend of mr root mr rupert murdock's but from what i've heard from those in the know he's a very hands on manager he he loves the newspaper business he loves he loves being a big player in the media. you know i certainly wouldn't say that it's for certain that he knew but if he didn't then i've heard some some some bogus information about him many say the biggest casualty now in the long run going to be media freedom to say the media freedom in danger do you think freedom of speech in britain will survive unscathed after this. well it's a great fear that it won't and it's a legitimate fear typically what we see is when these scandals and crises happen that the reaction is to take a sledgehammer to kill the fly and you know i'm not i'm not going to compare this particular scandal to a fly because it is fairly significant but if the reaction is overreaction and there's call for greater regulation of the press that ultimately that that argues poorly for democracy at large we've got we've got sort we've got a situation where everybody is up in arms and they're running aro

writing to all news international staff, and james murdock thanked mr.rooks for 22 years of service, adding, she has been one of the outstanding editors of her generation and she can be proud of many accomplishments as an executive. we support her arrest she takes steps to clear her name. that is not a view echoed in the house of lords as one of the most vocal critics referred to her stated desire to remain on the bridge. >> she now says she likes to be on the bridge. i would not like her on the bridge the way she was going. that is why she has gone, thank god. >> this afternoon, rupert murdoch acted to underline the apology by his former executive. he met with the family who lost their daughter and who are most of the alleged targets of his papers from hacking. -- target of his paper's phone hacking. >> i want a totally private meeting. i was appalled to find out what had happened. and i apologize and have nothing further to say. >> the solicitor spoke for the family. >> he was humble to give us a full and sincere apology to the family. we told him that

mr. murdock, a man of his stature is not accustomed to throwing people under something so lowly as a bus.to "morning joe." joining the table, carl bernstein and contributing editor gabe sherman. it's kind of funny, what jon stewart said. >> he is funny. what's your point? >> it's kind of not funny, too. seriously. >> it's fascinating. are you doing the reporting? >> i have been. writing a series of web pieces. this is just an epic story. the amount of headlines every day coming out of this story. this, on a normal day would be, you know, a month long story. every headline would have a long shelf life. yet, they keep coming. to me, the next step is what does this mean for the future of news corp. and rupert murdock. who is going to step in if there's a management takeover. >> you talked in your last piece that i read how this seems counter intuitive but it's good for roger ayles. >> for once, all the critics are not talking about fox. fox is not involved in this, as far as we know in the hacking saga. it's a legitimate business. what's going on with murdock's tabloid has nothing to do with

mr. james murdock, on the journal culture of phone hacking and that has in the past happened in this country. if i could just put a couple of things to you he's now a celebrity on cnn and ask him any questions at all about phone hacking case says in his book and by quote a trick of entering the standard code allows anyone to call one on the messages in that book that enabled him on a story but as a former editor about his personal use of phone hacking, yes, the day is part in the news about the story that happened of the daily mirror. the associated committee of the parliament in my view that the daily mail had these times in history run the story phone hacking in any way and the operation which can you come james murdock, will have made you aware that daily mail had journalists. pieces of information obtained by the private investigator in these shall we say unorthodox methods. you said earlier, mr. murdoch, that to come before this committee told you to simply tell the truth, which i think was excellent advice. is it not the fact, not the truth of the matter that journalists at the daily m

in fact murdock's empire is so big, i, myself, i remember when -- >> my question to you, mr. mcmullen, if we can stick to this -- because i know that you and hue grant -- >> i was by murdock. again, little sympathy for stars who take the money for a 20th century fox picture. >> mr. mcmullen can you hear me? >> analyzing their private life, it hasn't caused change. this week, laughingly, but when hugh grant turned me over in the same way that i had -- >> producers, can we stop this, please? yes, i would like him to be able to hear me, so we're going to bring him back after the break, because he's not answering my questions, that's paul mcmillan who's a former news of the world reporter, he says that that type of behavior has been condoned and encouraged at his newspaper and others. when we can hear me we'll bring him back right after the break. >>> a kentucky woman is told to stop speaking in court and goes after the judge, it's all caught on camera, you're going to see how it all played out. and if you haven't heard of southern california's one of the major highways is shut do
