Phone hacking: Rupert Murdoch 'ashamed' by hacking19 July 2011
Rupert Murdoch: "This is the most humble day of my life"

Rupert Murdoch said his appearance was the "most humble day of my life".
Faced with a series of questions from Labour MP Tom Watson, Mr Murdoch paused extensively, and his son James made several attempts to intervene.
However. Mr Watson made clear that he wanted to hear answers from the father and not the son.
He added: "Your father is responsible for corporate governance and serious wrongdoing has been brought about in the company.

"It is revealing in itself what he does not know and what executives chose not to tell him."
Rupert Murdoch said he was not aware of the extent of phone hacking at the company until earlier this year when it handed over new information to the police - triggering a new inquiry.
'Sorry'

He said the News of the World was "just 1%" of his worldwide business and that he employed "people I trust to run these divisions".
