ngn admitted the long—closed news of the world had placed him under surveillance.oup newspapers owes so many such apologies. thousands of ordinary people, just trying to live their lives, have endured the same unlawful behaviour. many were victims of heinous crimes, including victims of terrorism, grieving families, and people caught in personal tragedies. i'll never get over some of the stories i've heard in this case. this is a major victory for prince harry and his legal team. it's the first time in 18 years of battles that the news group newspapers have admitted any wrongdoing on behalf of the sun, but it also has benefits for the murdoch empire. by settling now, they avoid a trial, which could have seen allegations of a corporate—wide cover—up. that would have looked at rupert murdoch's confidant, rebekah brooks, ngn's chief executive and former sun editor. she was found not guilty of involvement in phone hacking in a previous criminal trial, and denies knowing about unlawful news—gathering. prince harry's lawyer said questions about her time in charge remain

price ngn were willing to pay to reach an agreement with bitter enemy. dominic casciani, bbc news.f the scale of the victory. i do think it is a significant victory for prince harry and lord watson. never before have news group newspapers admitted unlawful activity at its flagship newspaper the sun, only at the news of the world which rupert murdoch co—star more than a decade ago. now they have admitted that private investigators hired by the paper did act unlawfully. so that is a big win. but also as dominic was saying, this is also a win for news group. that is what happens when you settle. there are positives for both sides. for news group, they have avoided what could have been a really damaging case. that drip, drip, drip of allegations, suggestions of a cover—up by senior executives, suggestions that phone hacking and other unlawful newsgathering techniques were widespread at the newspaper over many years from 1996. it's important to say they would have thought that in court, they strongly deny that. but now we will not hear that evidence. there was a big headache for another

and the bosses at ngn had always denied that there was any wrongdoing at the sun newspaper.y had always pointed to the news of the world. so the fact that there was this apology today, this full and unequivocal apology, gives prince harry thatjustice, if you like, that he wanted to be seen to being done. what was interesting is there were two parts to the duke of sussex's claim. there was the accusation of illegal intrusive activity, but there was also the accusation of a widespread corporate cover up, including the deletion of millions of emails from news group, newspapers, servers and email systems. now, in their statement since the court statement was read out earlier on, ngn has continued to deny that that happened. and they've even said that one of the reasons that prince harry was happy with the settlement and the apology offered in court today, is because it meant he didn't have to give evidence in court in relation to this corporate cover up, because ngn insists he would have lost that argument. 0ur media and arts correspondent david sillito reports. prince harry's l

do you think there has been reputational damage to ngn as a result of this? that they don't have to have a drip, drip, drip of allegations made over the next few weeks. i think admitting liability here is, without doubt, reputationally damaging. i'd be hard to argue otherwise, i think, and i think it's notjust... but we're a far cry from back in the day, when they had to shut the news of the world. i mean, the sun is not in existential... i mean, yes, we're not in that territory. but i think, in any situation in which a newspaper group is admitting to using, you know, illegal tactics in which to, you know, obtain information, i think that reflects very poorly on both news uk, but also on journalism as a profession, unfortunately, even though the majority, the vast, vast majority ofjournalists work responsibly and ethically, it does not — it does not bode well for trust in journalism at a delicate time for trust injournalism. last weekend, the first three israeli hostages were released by hamas. cheering. video of the handover showed chaotic scenes in gaza as

as we've been saying, before we get into what both sides are saying, and it is the first time that ngndoing against prince harry, specifically involving unlawful activities at the sun, as jake was saying. they made clear later this was by private investigators working for the sun, not journalists, but it is still a huge win for the prince. of course it is, because, i mean, who instructed these private investigators? you know, somebody signed off the payments to them. they were told what to do. they were paid for information. the information appeared in the sun. you may say it's a little bit of a thin excuse to say, well, we didn't do it, we got somebody else to do it for us. but, nevertheless, the sun is saying that its journalists didn't do this, it was simply freelance investigators. jake kanterfrom deadline, vindication for both prince harry and tom watson? well, i mean, they're certainly claiming that, i mean, asjosh has just outlined, i mean, you know, the settlement unfortunately obfuscates some of the truth here, and we may never get to the bottom of exactly what happened. i thi
