that is rebecca brooks. many mps here want her to quit. >> what are the political implications, both in terms of david cameron, who is a friend of rebecca broke, but also the role of police officers? they should have been protecting the public against this sort of thing. >> that is right. the role of the police has drawn particular attention. the idea that they might have been involved in some kind of corruption, taking backhanders from news international, a troubled some mps. the thing to remember about why mps are so upset is that they have been conducting their own inquiries for the past few years. that has meant that they have called before them executives from news international and senior policemen. they asked about these allegations and feel misled by both groups of people. from the police, they feel they did not get to the bottom of what had happened. they did not take the original allegations seriously enough. they are also very angry at those news international executives that they have kept to this defense that

i can hear you yes great welcome to our team good to see you here now rebecca brooks has been arrested for bribery and it's the police allegedly accepted these bribes so apart from seeing journalists being arrested the moment what we see the same action taken by police against the police. well i think that you know inevitably something will have to be done and there are two separate inquiries one being done by the police itself but also an independent judicial inquiry looking into this now i mean whatever i mean either the police here have been incredibly lazy and been cozying up with people while an investigation has been going on which is in my view and malpractise or indeed there have been crimes committed which is largely perverting the course of justice and it's my guess that i think some people will fall in the third category when in the assistant editor of the guardian to day has been writing that he believes the arrest of rebecca brooks is an attempt by police to deflect attention away from them do you think they could actually get away with all of this . well it wouldn't be yo

morning because jonah's brother was the one who found the body of his girl friend, 32-year-old rebecca. and heree things get bizarre. her body was discovered hanging from a balcony and her arms and feet bound. again police are trying to track surveillance video down at the children's hospital to verify that jonah was in fact there with his son as he has told police. >> and has that death been ruled a suicide? >> no, it has not. an autopsy has been done, but investigators are waiting on toxicology reports to come back before an official cause of death is determined. they have to test the tissues and they have to test the blood and things like that. we understand the toxicology results take about six weeks before they arey getting back to investigators. investigators by the way who have filed multiple search warrants for the mansion, obviously two deaths in a one-week period are a bit odd. authorities have not released information as to whether or not anything suspicious has been found there. meantime jonah has reportedly left california and returned to another home he owns in scottsdale, arizona.

there's been no sign either here today of the chief executive rebecca brooks who's been in the firing line for the last few days. she's staying in her post and causing a lot of criticism and causing her to stand down from all the political parties here. and it will i would think be fairly, kind of leave a pretty bitter taste in many people's mouths here, because a lot of these journalists who are coming out here in a minute joined a long time after this scandal, and they feel that their jobs are being sacrificed and rebecca brooks who presides over the paper clings on to her job as cheer kpek. chief exec. >>> july 9, independent day. all right, they're singing, free at last in the newest nation of the world, south sudan. >>> and we'll get you caught up on what royals will and kate are up to in southern california. t for relief precisely where you need it most. precise. only from the makers of tylenol. welcome. i understand you need a little help with your mortgage, want to avoid foreclosure. smart move. candy? um-- well, you know, you're in luck. we're experts in this sort of thing, m

let's talk about the resignation here. rebecca brooks, she has issued an apology. did she know -- do we know if she knew what was going on? >> all we know is what was put on the record. she has denied knowing in advance this was going on, the hacking scandal. she does make the comment that now she is very sorry for what happened and seems ton acknowledging in a way by these comments, i want to reiterate how sorry i am as to what we now know what has taken place. the jury is still out if we could prove what they knew. she has now resigned. >> and explain to us why the fbi, the justice department is now involved in this? >> well, it was parked -- the seed for this was an article in the british newspaper in which it was claimed that a retired new york cop, working as a private eye was contacted by the news of the world to look into hacking phone records, and even voice mails of 9/11 victims and their families. that's what prompted a big hoopla in the united states, understandably. a lot of pressure from congressional leaders and senators as well as 9nine w 9/1 familie

rebecca jarvis is here with more on that angle for us. >> good morning. as all of the attention is focused on who said what in washington, americans across the country are beginning to fear the consequences if the debt issues aren't resolved quickly. >> i cannot guarantee that those checks go out on august 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue. >> reporter: when the president said social security checks may not go out on time next month, seniors across the country took notice. >> the president -- >> when i saw that, it shocked me but i said, no, this cannot happen, not in this country. >> reporter: 80-year-old cora meruelo is terrified about the government being late on a payment. if it comes for that she may not be able to pay for her heart medication. >> if i don't get social security how can i cover my expenses? >> i don't know how any of us will survive without it. >> reporter: 55 million americans receive social security checks every month and the thought of having to live without those checks, even for a few days, is unthinkable. >> i may be able to
