rebekah brooks, now the ceo of news uk, gave evidence to mps at the time.or of the sun, and i can say absolutely that the sun is a very clean ship. prince harry has always wanted his day in court to prove the sun was responsible for unlawful newsgathering practices. unlawful news—gathering practices. i know why people have settled. they've settled because they've had to settle, so therefore, one of the main reasons for seeing this through is accountability, because i'm the last person that can actually achieve that, and also closure for these 1,300 people and their families. i've been asked to read out a statement... - prince harry's last—minute settlement has been five years in the making. so who won? the only ones who really one today, as any court case, are the lawyers, because they all get paid, the most important thing here is, i think it was probably a pyrrhic victory for prince harry, but there again, he did say he wanted his day in court, and he didn't get that, because his lawyers settled. i think that the sun and news group probably are relieved t

rebekah brooks was mentioned by name. accused of lying under oath and running a criminal enterprise. there were questions also for the metropolitan police. the commission was asked what he was going to do regarding a criminal investigation and questions for the prime minister about whether he is going to clean up this culture. let's turn to washington now ahead of another busy day in the first week of donald trump's presidency. my my colleaguejoins us my colleague joins us now. another few busy days based on what president trump has done so far. he spent the first few daysin so far. he spent the first few days in office signing more executive august. the latest one calls for an end to diversity policies within the federal government and in the private sector. the administration has ordered that federal employees working on diversity, equity and inclusion programmes must be put on paid leave later today. this order claims that the programmes undermine national unity as they "deny, discredit and undermine the traditional am

at her trial in 2014, rebekah brooks said, when i was editor of the sun, we ran a clean ship.later, when she is ceo of the company, they now admit, when she was editor of the sun, they ran a criminal enterprise. farfrom being relics of a distant past, many of those behind these unlawful practices remain firmly entrenched in senior positions today, both within news uk and other media outlets across the world. wielding editorial power and perpetuating the top —— perpetuating the top —— perpetuating the top —— perpetuating the toxic culture in which they try. it's no surprise that the senior executive and editors refused to turn up to give evidence. the of these key individuals to come and answer questions under oath spoke volumes in itself, but their collective silence is deafening. that is prince harry's barrister, david sherborne speaking the in the last hour. live to our correspondent rich preston outside the court. a full and unequivocal apology, and we had tom watson speaking earlier outside the court. and speaking out to nathan sparks, head of the group against press intru

and also it potentially means that rebekah brooks, who was the editor of the sun at the time of thesescrutiny and won't take the stand. i mean, it wasn't clear whether she would, but, you know, i think that's a distinct possibility. it's probably important to say that she's been acquitted of four criminal charges in the past, in 2014, including conspiring to hack phones when she was the editor of the news of the world. but she is now the boss of news uk, which is the media empire that houses the sun. and, you know, i wouldn't be surprised if she faces a... ..faces further scrutiny and questions over the coming days and weeks. and she's always been backed by rupert murdoch, but i suppose positions can change. yeah, i mean, she's absolutely a key ally of rupert murdoch and has been for decades now. you know, she is a bit of a reclusive figure, actually. she rarely appears in public but is still a major media power player here in the uk and internationally. you know, i'm sure she's regularly courting politicians. she's even spent time with the bbc director—general in recent years. you kn

because for 1h years news corporation, owned by rupert murdoch and news uk, headed up by here by rebekah brooksenied that there was ever any unlawful activity whatsoever at the sun newspaper and they've settled 1300 claims of people who say this without allowing them to get to court and without making that admission. and for the first time, notjust on the steps of court, but inside the court, it's clear that they were forced to make that admission to avoid, at the very least, a public trial of these allegations. and, you know, lord watson can't continue to sue on something they've admitted. that's not how the court system works. so it's a full victory for prince harry and tom watson. and they both set out what a price they paid. i mean, prince harry gets revenge attacks on him by the newspapers for daring to stand up to them, but has been prepared to do that in order for this to come out, notjust for him, but for all those people who brought claims and all the others who were targeted, because, as court documents have shown, there were 35,000 payments across the sun and the news of the world to

prince harry accuses rebekah brooks — ngn's chief executive and a close confidante of rupert murdoch today, ngn says allegations of a cover—up are wrong, and will be strongly denied. dominic casciani, bbc news. 66 people have died and more than 50 others are being treated for injuries in hospital after a fire at a turkish ski resort. let's get the latest from our correspondent nicky schiller. nicky. yes, we know this blaze broke out in a 12 story hotel in the bolu mountain ski resort in north—west turkey. that is about 100 miles from the capital, ankara. reports say that it started around 3.30 in the morning in a restaurant on the fourth floor, but we have seen dramatic pictures of how quickly the blaze spread throughout the building. there are reports that some people tried to jump out of the windows. we have seen bed sheets that people had thrown out of those windows to try and get out. local media reports say that two people died after trying to jump out of the windows. the hotel itself is investigating whether any of the people inside were trapped at any point. it is busy there a

so particularly targeting rebekah brooks, who is rupert murdoch's top henchperson, as it were in the uk, she was never going to appear in court that he wanted her to take responsibility for knowing what was going on and not allowing her to deny that, and he feels he's got all of that in the statement that he got from news group newspapers, which is the rupert murdoch arm here. >> all right. max foster for us this morning, sir. lovely to have you on twice in our two hours. thank you for being here to be here, i appreciate it. all right. still ahead here on cnn this morning, in the hours following their pardons, hundreds of january 6th, rioters now out of prison. what they're saying about their newfound freedom and their actions that landed them behind bars in the first place. plus, a major national initiative to promote artificial intelligence unveiled at the white house. >> how mornings. cough. congestion. >> i'm feeling better all. >> in one and. >> done with mucinex. kickstart. >> headaches better now. >> mucinex kickstart gives all in one and done relief with a morning jolt of ins

at her trial in 2014, rebekah brooks said, "when i was editor of the sun, we ran a clean ship."nal enterprise. ngn says there was no voice mail interception at the sun, and it's not admitted any wrongdoing by its journalists. so is this affair all over? i think we're looking to the government, and we're also looking to the police and saying, you know, are you going to investigate what went on here? unlawful behaviour that's been admitted. surely now is the time for another police investigation, and a full police investigation, into the wrongdoing here. prince harry's not got everything he wanted, but he and lord watson have got more than £10 million in the payout and legal costs. today's cheque, the price ngn were willing to pay to reach an agreement with a bitter enemy. dominic casciani, bbc news. coming up in the next half hour of world news america — we'll continue our coverage of an eventful start to donald trumps second term as president. in the last 2a hours — he's threatened russian president with tariffs unless he ends the war in ukraine — and issued we are in california
