rupert murdoch recently said judge. to a >> is going to be a blot on my reputation for the rest of my life. >> i do not think rupert murdoch would be doing this unless he really had to. i don't think he wants to split the company a. he is under huge pressure from shareholders in america. data like the newspapers. -- they do not like the newspapers. >> they were easing the pain of the breakup for the mogul. >> rupert murdoch, making headlines yet again. still to come -- the historic handshake in northern ireland. we look back over queen elizabeth's visit 35 years ago. rescue efforts are continuing in eastern uganda following landslides that destroyed three villages and killed at least 18. the incident occurred in a district near a major tourist attraction near the kenyan border. they were moving heavy equipment into the area. been evacuated the village's. our correspondent sent us this report. >> the landslide started in the early afternoon on monday. at least two villages were hit by the landslide that flattened houses.

this is speaking of rupert murdoch. he wished me to change our european policies.couldn't change our european policies, his papers could not, would not support our conservative government. it's not very often someone sits in front of a prime minister and says to a prime minister, i would like you to change your policy, and if you don't change your policy, my organization cannot support you. just shocking the amount of power rupert murdoch has, slash had. >> when you look at the uk, the entire media elite, political elite, evidently the police and all other sorts of public officials, were completely captive by his empire and the kind of intimidation. we talked about this as sort of an ongoing sense of being blackmailed because people were worried about the kind of coverage they were going to get. people are always worried about bad coverage but they were actually listening in to people's conversations and hearing their voice mails. the question now i think, you have all these -- there's a police investigation, there's this ongoing judicial inquiry, is what's really

in other words, i think, there was a view of rupert murdoch which i think speaks to the same effect, which is he just backs the winner. my view now is it's not as simple as that. there are very strong political views. and those actually do come first with whatever interest he feels on the winning side or losing side. so my view of this now is if he's been persuaded. it looked as if we were going to win. you don't have to be a genius to think we have a good chance of winning. when you miss four in a row you never think it's that clear. so i'm not sure i would have the same view now about that. but that may well have been what i said to chris and to -- and yes, look, if i ended up in a situation where they turned on me, i would have had to fight back. you know, there's no -- that would have been the only recourse. and we weren't in 1992, we weren't really in a position where we were able to fight back. but this time we would have. >> tremendously powerful position. here you are embarking upon the prospect of government and you're sufficiently concerned to say, look, if they really are

rupert murdochs had a good personal relationship with mr. brown. were you? >> yes. >> and was it explained to you, or did you work it out anyway, that that was likely to be an impediment, to say those terms, to the "sun" shifting sides? >> i think both that rupert -- a strong relationship with rebekah brooks. i knew we had our work cut out to win over the "sun" yes, but i felt what we had on our side was that "sun" readers were leaving the government and dumbcoming towards us. it was going to try to get a center right pro-enterprise, pro-family small seed conservative paper back into the fold. >> and was it your understanding that the final decision would be made by rupert murdoch or at the very least it couldn't be made without his consent? >> i didn't know. obviously, he would have a big say in it, but i sensed if we could show that some readers were moving in a conservative direction, we would have a good -- a good effort a good chance of winning support. as i say, this was one of many things we tried to do. >> did mr. corson give you advice as to how bes

i did not need rupert murdoch or anyone else to tell me about that. had we had a different position, that would have been a big problem with newspapers, but we did not take that position for that reason. it was a very important part of new labor. >> the subsidiary question -- while you insisted the recognition procedure should be introduced, he insisted there should be a clause within it that specifically enabled in non-independent staff to block an application for recognition by an independent trade union >> i understand why these conspiracy theories arise, but it's not as if my position on unions was a matter of great surprise. it was a very strong belief. i think trade unions are a part of a modern democratic society, but it's interesting that there are given through the '60s and '70s, and i grew up with this argument all as they should not be subject to legal constraints. this was an interference with the democratic principles of trade unionism. i thought you could not argue that. have power and they should be subject to some form of legal framewo

and he claims gordon brown actually declared war on rupert murdoch's media empire. now, that is a story which gordon brown denies, but it's obviously an area where the lawyer who cross questioned mr. brown will want to probe him on. >> and also, naomi, we are going to hear from george osborne. this is going to be interesting in terms of his links with the culture secretary here and the bskyb bid. quite a lot of detail, but george osborne is interesting. he's seen as someone who doesn't come out in public unless he really needs to. >> that's right. george osborne is not only chancellor, but also the government strategist. he does have a finger in many of the pies of government, and his name and text messages have arisen during this inquiry to do with that bskyb bid, which is now proving to be a very controversial area for this inquiry. original originally george osborne wasn't intending to give evidence to this inquiry, but precisely because his name keeps cropping up, they've actually decided to call him. so this afternoon, he, too, will be giving testimony as to wh

rupert murdochs. mr. james murdoch 15 and for rebekah brooks 19. in relation to her does that cover all social interactions or not? >> this is for the period when i was in opposition? >> the short answer, it might not. what wep did did go back over the diaries for the time i was leader of opposition. try and work out if we missed anything out but it doesn't always include -- for example diary count captured my decisions. there could be other meetings in there i haven't identified. going through other participant meetings we found some that didn't tally with us. we've been through and tried to reconcile as much as possible. i mean government is different because certainly in the office you have a diary -- john major explained this. a diary of what you want to do and a diary of what you actually do. in the office opposition was our best attempt but made gaps. >> it's going to lead to others if so karng the. mr. murdoch's list doesn't quite match yours but quite frankly an area of comparison in our view which we're just going to leave it there. >> it'

so i didn't need rupert murdoch or anyone else to tell me about that. now, it's true, had we had a different position, i think that would have been a big problem with their newspaper, but we didn't take the position for that reach. it was a position i believed in. it was for me a very, very important part of new labor. >> the subsidiary question i've been asked to put, was it not part of this agreement that whilst you insisted that a statutory recognition procedure should be introduced, he insisted, that's mr. murdoch, there should be a clause within it which specifically enabled the existence of a nonindependent staff association like nisa to block an application for recognition by an independent trade union at a news international title? >> no. i understand why these sort of conspiracy theories arise, but i mean it's not as if my position on unions and so on was a matter of great surprise. it was actually for me a very, very strong article, belief. to me trade unions are a very important part of a maude eoder democratic society but it's interesting ac

witness rupert murdoch waking up and saying let's go bring out a of

and i went on -- >> he knew that about rupert murdoch's father before you met rupert murdoch? >> we never talked about it. but when he said go find money, because doing our research, peter and i were doing research, we said this is how the story's got told because rupert murdoch was a reporter and he snuck out with all the dispatchers to london and times of london so you know we knew that. so when i went to pitch the story, told him it's col uply he never said a word and i never said a word because why would he -- i mean he had such a big empire. why would he waste his time on just a frifl husband little film that was peanuts to him, but of course, what it was, i tapped in to an honor with him. >> peter weir is the one who brought mel gibson? >> yes. he found -- he found mel gibson. he was -- had an interesting career. he was -- he's an american, born upstate new york. went to australia when he was 10. and had been in a few minor films and we saw him onstage, actually, in a play and he actually could not understand. his australian accent was so thick we sort of had to give him

you know, "the sun" readers re trusted voices like trevor kavanaugh, rupert murdoch james murdoch, rebekah to the conservative fold, and that's what i focused on. >> how important were the freuds in the all of this if not asow imp decision makers, but facilitators. >> very difficult. matthew's politics i'm not quite sure about, so i'm not totally, i'm not totally sure, um, i don't want to -- not totallyt sure what role he was playing but he was being helpful in terms of trying to help facilitate a meeting here or t some advice or some of that. he's a friend.ng i think politically he's supported various different sides at various different times. [laughter]arious >> okay. mrs. brooks you make clear from your statement was a friend and may not, again, be possible to identify a date, but would you have counted her or did youu count her as amongst your good friends, say by 2008?st >> yes. we were, you know, we got to know each other because of, you know, her role in the media, my role this politics. know role in india, my role in politics we struck up a friendship. that friendship grew even th

summit or the down trades, remember what rupert murdoch floated today. think how much money was made today by leaking news of a breakup. and remember, many, more companies as diverse as ebay, proctor and gamble and john & johnson or jack in the box were mad as hell and didn't wbt to take that euro market trash anymore. keith? >> caller: hi, boo-yah. i heard that newscorp company is going to split. what effect will that have on the media industry? should i keep newscorp or dump it? >> you want to keep newscorp. any company that has a fast growing business in tt media under the same roof as a slow one that's been con stain strained by all the nonsense constrained by europe, i think is going to see what murdoch is doing and take action. there aren't that many companies that have the flexibility as murdoch. let's go to connor in louisiana. >> caller: boo-yah, jim, from new orleans. >> nice to have you on the show. >> caller: thank you. linkedin, 106 urks almost back to the ipo heyday. i'm wondering if it's a good time to short it. i wanted to see how microso

can you remember the subject matter of the discussions -- rupert murdoch and james murdoch were there. >> it is not particularly unusual that it was in eight chalet. the meeting was a lunch with david cameron and myself, and rupert and james murdoch and rebekah brooks. as i remember, the conversation was partly about the domestic political situation, but the focus of the lunch was the global financial crisis, which in january 2009 was raging. if anything, i remember that david cameron and i were trying to bring the conversation gently onto domestic politics and what the conservative party was doing to put itself in a position to win the general election. rupert murdoch was more keen to talk about the international economic situation. >> did you ever get around to discussing domestic policy -- domestic politics and the virtues of the conservative party christian arthrex briefly. -- virtues of the conservative party? >> briefly. we talked about how a change of government would be a good thing for the united kingdom and we would use every opportunity to do that. >> can you recall how the

i decided as shareholder, i wanted to give rupert murdoch advice what he should do to fix the company. i can't read the whole thing but i will read a little bit of it. dear rupert. my name is john. we met a few years ago, when my friend, steve dunleavy was retiring from the "new york post." i didn't get invited to the party but managed to get in while the door keepers were distracted. i have a few suggestions how to fix our company. firstoff, let's be even more fair and balanced. when fox news came onto the scene it pierced through the veil of bias that blanketed most of television news. in other words, it was ah. you thumb your nose at all the right people and i think you need to keep thumbing your nose. many of the anchors and producers of broadcasting news programs existed within a happy consensus that had high aspirations for what america could become but a leo pin of what america actually was. secondly, hey, remember that show with donald sutherland's kid? there was a time when fox was the dominant provider of drama on television. everyone watched "24." what happened? has it real

rupert murdoch, 10 entries, mr. james murdoch 15, and for rebekah brooks 19., the short answer is it minot because will we did for this was go back over the diaries for all the time i was leader of the opposition, try and work out whether we missed anything out but it doesn't always include, for instance, a weekend, my diary wouldn't cover my weekend necessary. so there could be other meetings in there that i haven't identified. going through some of your part does the dashing some of your other participant meetings, we found some that didn't count with ours. we've been through and we try to reconcile as much as possible but inevitably you have some of the government is different because certainly in the obvious you have a diary. a diary of what you meant to do that way and then a diary of what actually happened that day. but government runs in the office i'm pretty confident about. the opposition was our best attempt but it may have gaps. >> it will be to others, if so -- [inaudible] mr. murdoch's list doesn't quite match yours. but, frankly comparison in our

i think it's partly because rupert murdoch himself, i think, is not actually sort of a right wing person. i would never describe him as a sort of -- i'm indicating my own political prejudices here, but this is sort of tribal tory, i wouldn't say that at all. he has bits of him that are very anti-establishment, sort of ame americratic, i would say, so maybe it's partly derived from his own thinking. is there an element of political calculation? i don't know. i suppose there could be. >> you say in paragraph 9 the wrong paradigm, this is to confuse political objectives with commercial interests. >> yeah. >> isn't it not possible to argue that the primary purpose on this approach would be the exercise of political power, the secondary purpose may well be to advance the interests of the paper, including its commercial interests? >> yeah. look, i think what i'm really saying here is of course like any commercial organization, they'll have their commercial interests there. but i also point out in my statement, and i will say this very strongly where we get on to the detail of this, actually we

rupert murdoch, to be truthful. i do not think he was in the slightest bit interested in what i was doing. i cannot remember many meetings with him at all. i think that if there is a record of these meetings, they are few and far between. >> i am speaking more generally to the government in which you were part. do you think it was too close them was wise to mr. murdoch? -- than was wise? >> i do not think so, but i do not know. there are not many dealings with news international. they have their own views on issues of policy. they were not, in many ways they are similar to mine. >> were you according and persuading the media? includingparticularly news international? is that something that you were or that you consented to? >> not to my mind. my efforts was to persuade every media group that our efforts were serious. we were trying to rebuild and improve the education system. get more police on to the street, legislate for freedom of information. we had agendas for civil liberty issues, like gay partnerships. all of

rupert murdoch. you put in a revised schedule quite recently, which is -- >> i did so because the cabinet office data media from asian, and i give you what information they have given me originally. now i'm giving you the information they have given me subsequently. >> we publish the revised schedule. the meeting of the fifth of october 2007, which you say didn't take place. there was, according to exhibit krm 27, mr. rupert murdoch's witness statement, there was a meeting on the sixth of october. i thought there was also a phone call on the fourth of october, and that may not be right. is meeting start on the sixth of october, so there's nothing for the fourth of october. and so, if we can deal with one point, which is loaded in evidence, relates to the snap election to do you call that come in 2007? that it was an interview pre-recorded by -- with you on saturday the sixth of october. and we know that there was dinner at chequers with mr. murdoch and his wife, and others, on the evening of the sixt

we're sitting here with rupert murdoch. mr. murdoch, thank you for having us here today. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. the idea of splitting this company is not one that's been a foreign one. it's been around for quite some time. in fact, on the conference call today, you aalluded to a three-year process of considering it. for all the talk about it, whether it be five years ago, seven years ago, three years ago, many people thought you never wanted to do it. so why now? >> it's a very good question. frankly, i finally came to it. i've considered a lot of the pros and cons over the years. banks have been telling me, colleagues, other colleagues have been saying no. there's a lot of emotion involved. then some time ago, say a couple of months, several weeks ago, i finally reached a conclusion that it was the right thing to do, and the more i go introit, the more i study it, the more enthusiastic i am about it. >> what they'd then in your opinion? >> i think what i came convinced of is that we could manage all the units of the co

today his own judgment is under investigation and his close links in rupert murdoch's case. let's listen. >> can i ask you this fateful question, do you agree in general on that matter? >> yes, i do. and as for phone calls, i'm not asking you to count them out, but approximately how often did you speak to her by phone including by mobile phone? >> in opposition, perhaps particularly throughout 2006, 2007. not a huge amount. i always felt when i did, i always -- it felt i was telephoning a lot less than gordon brown. >> and he's the house leader of the opposition? >> i was in contact a lot less than he was. but i can't put numbers on it. but certainly in 2006-2007, not necessarily every week. >> ok. can we move it forward to 2008-2009. was there contact by phone say on a weekly basis? >> i think as we get closer to the election and the decision of the "sun" and also the wedding and she's moved into charlie brooks' house, which is very near where i live or where we live in constituency, the level of contact went up, and we saw each other socially more. >> about how frequently?

a third of their objections related to one man, but to rupert murdoch. do you remember that? >> i don't. it says from 1998 to 2001 i see down at the bottom. >> the final point in, my first few weeks as alistar campbell's deputy, so that was 1998, i was told by somebody who would know that we had assured mr. murdoch we wouldn't change policy on europe without talking to him first. was that assurance given? >> no. we never gave an assurance to mar do murdoch or anybody else that we were not going to change policy without seeking some sort of permission. that's absurd. however, having said that, if we were about to engage in a major change of policy on an issue that mattered to any particular media group, we probably would have tried to prepare the way for it. but that, again, i think is perfectly sensible and there's nothing wrong with that. you see the thing that's important to realize about this is of course you were aware that he and indeed other papers had very strong stances on issues. again i think it's important this is not simply located with the murdoch media or anybod

rupert murdoch had a strong relationship. could be made by rupert murdoch or at the very least be made about his consent? >> i did not know. i assumed he would have a big say in it. show moving in a conservative direction we would a good chance of winning their support. >> did he give you advise as to to proceed? >> of course. use by a director can allocations. was my director. that t -- union that he was -- you knew that he was familiar with rebekah brooks? she was friendly with tony blair. i remember some strong arguments. she would be standing up pretty for gordon brown. >> when did you sense that mrs. brooks would be disposed to supporting you? growing picture of disenchantment. was getting its act together. who thought the government was getting it wrong. >> approximately when did you think mrs. burks was on the side about six months before the shift of support? -- on the side? about six months before this it does support? i do not know. >> not even a sense of when it attacked was it ? was it months of? was it weeks? was

because rupert murdoch will still control through super voting shares both entities. the parent news corp and any spin-off that contains all of the print. and right now, it's problematic where he is going to be when off-com-- the f.c.c. of the united kingdom-- finishes their investigation and sees what happens with the three-- the parliamentary, the judicial, and the police investigation into news corp's u.k. phone hacking. they have deemed him already an unfit and improper person to own a broadcast property. >> tom: it would make it difficult for even a reconstituted news corp to go after it. let's take a look at where the money comes from when it comes to this media conglomerate, more than half of it from cable television. films gets 17%, publishing 16%. that's the newspaper business. tv and satellite tv make up the remaining 16%. >> that's right. >> tom: for publishing, there's not much lowest for this company if it spits apart. it's not a 50-50 split. it's an 80-20 split at best. >> if that. you get some prestige trophy properties in the "times" of london and the

. >> you knew that about rupert murdoch's father before you met rupert murdoch. >> we never talked about it. when we said go find money, peter and i said this is how the stories got told. it was reported he snuck out with all the dispatches to london and the "times" of london. when i went to pitch the story, he never said a word and never said a word. he had such a big empire, would he he waste his time on a film that was just peanuts to him. of course, what it was i tapped into an honor with him. >> peter weir is the one who brought mel gibson. >> yes. he found mel gibson. mel gibson who has had an interesting career. he was -- he's an american, born in upstate new york, went to australia when he was 10 and had done minor films. we saw him on stage actually. his australian accent was so thick that we started giving him american lessons when we did the film. you could tell them extraordinary potential. peter found him, peter was also an extraordinary director, a wonderful person to deal with. that was a one-off experience, a fabulous experience. >> did you do breaker moron. >> no, bruce

david faber's interview of rupert murdoch about the splitting of news corp. banks hit with a wave of cuts and airbus to alabama. it is a busy, busy news day. we start with sue at the new york stock exchange and the big drop for stocks. sue? >> indeed, ty. thanks very much. you know, when i got down here at the new york stock exchange, i started to walk around and talk to traders about the supreme court decision this morning. a lot of people are confused, people surprised and now wondering what's going to happen as we get closer to the election. stocks right now down about 129 points as you mentioned on the dow jones industrial average. the s&p right now is down about 13.75. the nasdaq down about 43 points on the day. a huge selloff for gold and we have seen that volatility in the past couple of weeks. it continues. down 26 bucks on gold. in terms of the 10-year note, we saw a flight to quality pushing the yield down to 1.575%. kenny is the managing director of icap down here on the floor. you made an interesting point about the fact that people are -- they're

rupert murdoch isn't the only one questioning romney's evasive campaign tactics.mnist peggy noonan writes, "the romney strategy in the past eight weeks has been in a small way, shrewd. have the candidate out there talking in candidate-like manner, but not let minimum say anything so interesting that it will take the cameras off mr. obama. it's working, but won't for long. people want meaning, a higher and declared purpose." joining me now are karen finney, former dnc communications director and msnbc political analyst and sam stein, "huffington post" political editor and reporter. karen, this is an odd night for us. it is usually, at this stage of the campaign, for that matter, at any stage of the campaign, professional democrats who are publicly worrying about the democratic campaign and why the democratic candidate is doing everything wrong and if the democratic candidate would just listen to these professional pundit democrats, everything would be okay. but here, it's happening to mitt romney. how did we get here? >> indeed. but don't worry, lawrence, there's p

rupert murdoch is coming on cnbc with david faber. this is a done deal. >> what are we getting that hour. >> we should get some details on who is running what company. how it's set up. then we'll hear a little bit more about how they are playing to value to companies where they think the multiples will be. >> what will murdoch's role be. they are expected to take over the entertainment part of the business. will murdoch be -- >> he'll be overseeing both companies. that's how you have to do it. the big story this morning that everybody is talk about, dallas 9 billion, jpmorgan, "new york times" we mentioned at the top. show reporting the company could lose as much as $9 billion. that's the big headline. came out at 2:30 a.m. this morning. i want to put out a couple of caveats so people understand. the $9 billion figure and there's a sentence in the story that's important. it says the $9 billion estimate came in april. it says one april the bank generated an internal report that showed the loss worse case conditions would reach $8 to $9

not even rupert murdoch would come up with that. we just did that because it is what made us feel good. now we are thinking, with the burning man project -- it is interesting. my partners and i are thinking beyond our lifetimes. it is a bit of a legacy project. which is really interesting, an interesting exercise. that makes you feel differently about the present. so what would make something that durable? what would keep it alive that long? we have been alive and have grown for a quarter-century. it may not be hard to imagine an entire century at all. now we are found in an institution that will house and generate culture, and function as a community. wondering how we can be sure that it is not perverted, subject to internal divisions, will not perish. and that is a really good exercise, too. think about doing something that will last 100 years. >> thinking about the next couple of minutes, we should have questions from audience members. who ever has a question, start lining up. i'm going to ask one more and then we can start going
