but the murdochs are nothing if not divisive.lleged victims of their tabloid papers argue that the second stage of the levenson enquiry, which promised to scrutinise james murdoch's corporate leadership, but was dropped in the tory manifesto, is needed before this merger can go through. it is in the newspapers‘ interests not to have the other part of the leveson, they don't want their dirty washing out in public, they don't want us to see the double—dealing. fox say they are pleased ofcom deemed them fit and proper to hold a broadcasting licence and that they will work constructively with the authorities. but with his enemies energised and new phone hacking trials due to begin in october, murdoch's fox faces an anxious wait. scientists have this evening released the findings of a major new study into the effects of pesticides on bees. the investigation, involving three countries including the uk, focused on the impact of widely—used chemicals and found they were harmful to bee colonies. the chemicals have been banned in the europ

murdoch's considerable media interests?y will be relieved they have been deemed fit and proper by 0fcom to own a broadcasting licence but there seems to be lingering worries despite assurances about excessive power and control being in the hands of one family. rupert murdoch is not as powerful as he used to be in britain, his newspaper circulation is in decline, they didn't get the result they wanted in this election, and powerhouses like amazon, netflix and powerhouses like amazon, netflix and facebook means there's competition for the likes of sky. rupert murdoch is a divisive character so this is over to the authority which will take months to look at the bid which means for the time being fox is stuck in the grass. the family of the last person to die from injuries sustained in the hillsborough disaster have told the bbc they're hugely disappointed that his death has been excluded from the newly—announced manslaughter prosecution. tony bland's life support was removed four years after the 1989 football stadium tragedy.

but for the murdoch family, sky was their creation.of today. the battle is still very much on to finally make it theirs. david sillito, bbc news. britain's household energy bills — and carbon emissions — have been kept in check by eu rules on energy efficiency, but a new report warns that both could rise unless ministers implement new policies to save power. the committee on climate change says the uk needs to move quickly towards developing plans to keep emissions down. ministers say they will come forward with a new policy in the autumn. here's our environment analyst, roger harrabin. we have more and more gadgets all the time. tvs are bigger. many homes have multiple screens. 0ur chores are done by machine. yet the average home is paying less for energy than we were before, according to the climate committee. it's because appliances like this are being forced to be ever more energy—efficient by eu regulations. that means they do the same amount of work but for less power. it cuts our bills and it reduces carbon emissions. but for ho

mr murdoch already owns 39% of the satellite broadcaster.sky was abandoned in the wake of the phone hacking scandal. the culture secretary, karen bradley, told the commons that the merger would increase the murdoch family's ability to influence the uk's news agenda and political process. as a result there were clear grounds to refer the deal to the competition and markets authority. on the question of whether the merger gives rise to public interest concerns in relation to media plurality, ofcom's report is unambiguous. it concludes, "the transaction raises public interest concerns "as a result of the risk of increased influence by members "of the murdoch family trust over the uk news agenda and "the political process, with its unique presence on radio, "television, in print and online. "we consider that these concerns may justify reference by the secretary "of state to the competition and markets authority." on the basis of ofcom's assessment i confirm that i am minded to refer to a phase ii investigation on the grounds of media plurality.

appears to be unequivocal, there are serious concerns about the fact that rupert murdoch and the murdochsun newspaper new television is part of 21st century fox and they say these are separated —— the television. so there is less concern about concentration of power but essentially they are both controlled by rupert murdoch and the murdoch family and they have special control to their shareholdings and that is the concern of ofcom. and so this will come and there are ten days, but it looks almost certain that this will go to the cma and they have six months, maybe, to make a final decision. it will be back here in 6—8 months for a final decision. david, thanks for joining in 6—8 months for a final decision. david, thanks forjoining us. that was our media correspondent. a retired court of appealjudge, sir martin moore—bick, will be appointed to lead the public inquiry into the grenfell tower disaster. theresa may confirmed the appointment of sir martin, saying "no stone will be left unturned" by the inquiry. sir martin, who is 70, has been meeting residents of grenfell this morning. he pr
