MURDOCH FACES PRESSURE TO SCRAP BSkyB TAKEOVER OVER PHONE HACKING CRISIS
- Sunday, 10 July 2011

Rupert Murdoch has arrived in the UK to face growing pressure to scrap his company's takeover bid for BSkyB due to the phone-hacking crisis. Labour leader Ed Miliband urged him to abandon the bid and sack News International chief Rebekah Brooks. The BBC understands that e-mails found by News International appear to show police were paid for information, and that phone hacking went wider than a single rogue reporter's activities.
