Murdoch And His Son Tapped The Door For Questioning: Ashamed But Not Responsible.

News Group Chairman Rupert.

The hearing began at 2:30 p.m. local time and lasted for more than 5 hours.

Members hope to find out when Murdoch and his son know the news of eavesdropping and how to deal with them.

This is the first time that Murdoch has British media for more than 40 years to receive parliamentary questions.

He and his son all wore dark suits and blue ties in front of members.

Murdoch said shortly after the hearing that it was the "humdrum" day in his life.

In the face of the question of whether members understood "illegal acts", Murdoch began to respond with silence or "no".

He said that he did not know that the news of the world had tapped the text messages of the girl Millie Dubled, who was shocked, angry and ashamed, until two weeks ago.

When the members asked whether they were responsible for the eavesdropping scandal, Murdoch explicitly refused to accept responsibility.

He argues that news group has more than 53000 employees worldwide, while the news of the world accounts for only 1% of its global business.

As for the question of who should be responsible for the scandal, Murdoch said he was the one who trusts the specific newspaper running and the people they once trusted.

Murdoch also admitted that he ignored the operation of the newspaper and rarely communicated with the editor in chief of the newspaper.

Besides, his men lied to him.

Murdoch said he did not see evidence that his media reporters had tapped the phone of victims in the US 9. 11 incident, nor did he think the FBI would find evidence to prove such a thing.

James, son of Murdoch, said at the hearing that the eavesdropping scandal was unforgivable. This is a most regrettable event. He apologized for the victims in the incident.

He said that newspapers did not act according to the standards they hoped for, and that such incidents would not happen again in the future.

There are some interludes in the hearings.

A man in the auditorium tried to attack Murdoch 3 hours after the hearing. He was quickly stopped and taken away from the scene by the staff and police. The hearing was suspended for a while.

From the TV footage, we can see that the Chinese lady Wendy Deng, who has been sitting behind Murdoch, fist on the perpetrators at the instant of the incident.

Shortly after the hearing began, in the face of the repeated questioning of Labour Party member Tom Watson, Murdoch was silent for a long time. His Zi James tried to relieve him, and Watson said impolitely that he wanted to hear Murdoch's answer, not his son's.

Earlier in the day, Stephenson, former director of the Metropolitan Police Bureau and deputy director general Yates, who resigned from the scandal, were questioned by the parliamentary panel on internal affairs.

Stephenson denied that he had any wrongdoing on the issue of employing the deputy editor in chief of the news of the world, Neil Wallis, for the media advisor of the police station.

The shock caused by the eavesdropping scandal in the news of the world has intensified.

British Prime Minister Cameron has concluded his visit to South Africa ahead of schedule, and will participate in the debate in parliament on 20.
