seems that former news international rebecca brooks that she traveled the world on his dime was toldpeople had been victims of the phone hackings despite insistence until 2010 she was only aware by an only rogue reporter. to help us understand the implications we're joined robert moore. thank you once more for your time. >> it's a pleasure. >> which of these developments resonates more meaningful, the alleged awareness of rebecca brooks from 2006 to 2010 or the alleged bribery by the sun. >> they compound each other. the strategy to contain it to a single newspaper, the newspaper of the world, it is clearly failing and scandal to the heart of murdoch's tabloid the sun i think that's devastating for news international. that's the company in the u.k. the parent company is news corps. murdoch had these great firewalls that he had designed. first, contain the scandal and second fire wall, make sure that the scandal stays in the u.k. now it has crossed the atlanta and could endanger news corps here in the united states. it's a grim day. >> that second point that you raiseed is a principle

rebecca brooks, the managing director quit last summer.ince then, the scandal spread with allegations of corrupt payments to police and other officials asked by journalists on the "sun." that is a problem for the parent company in new york. >> i think the executives in new york will not allow themselves to be tainted by the united kingdom. they are going to cooperate with the police the best they can. even if that means james murdock having to leave the company that is it. >> he decided on closure at " news of the world." when his father flew in, his -- james was nowhere to be seen. with the successful launch of the "sun" on sunday, news international is in a good place to build on its successes in the future. he has made lasting contributions. james will focus on the pay tv businesses including sky, where he remains chairman. >> he seems to be as successful in television. he will concentrate on that. normal newspapers. somebody said to me that one murdoch running newspapers is enough. >> this looks like the latest attempt to put the murky

. >> rose: you suggested to the people this he should fire rebecca brooks and she was fired immediately after that. >> rose: so you were responsible for her being fired. >> no, i don't claim that at all because rupert would not have continued with them anyway but ethics and moral are very important to me in any dealings and i know james but not involved in the process at all. >> rose: what do you think of fox broadcasting, the fox news company run by roger ahls. >> i think it is doing great. >> rose: you are happy with news corp and the murdoch happy and rupert and james murdoch and still support james murdoch the way you did the last time you were here? >> that's why i am voting and keeping it. >> rose: there is twitter now. you have 300 million, $400 million investment in twitter, how did that happen? >> you have to understand that my company has invested a long time ago in apple computer and amazon, ebay, and many other. >> rose: i understand that, right. >> so we are in the business, obviously so investing in the continuation of us looking at those business opportunities at the earl

last july, he said his priority was saving the skin of rebecca brooke, then chief of "news internationalngside the ongoing hacking investigation that has seen murdoch eat humble pie. and later take a pie in the face. it would have been a direct hit, too, if not for the efforts of his wife wendy. murdoch's son james has come under fire too. they're not just fighting for survival of the murdoch empire, but the legacy of the man who built it. roou better murdoch's main priority here is damage limitation. british lawmakers said the trouble at murdoch's papers haven't come from a few bad apples, but the whole orchard. >> so what is he expected to do? it's been quoted that the sun has turned against rupert murdoch. he has put in place things he cannot stop. "the sun" was closest to his heart. he won't be welcomed. they believe he has launched a witch hunt to protect himself. so where could this go? >> reporter: well, he's going to face a showdown, charlie, when he arrives here. he's expected to arrive thursday or friday. he has to walk through that newsroom at "the sun" knowing that the people
