00:00The tabloid at the center of a phone hacking scandal in Britain is shutting down.

00:04The News of the World says its Sunday edition will be its last after 168 years.

00:10This comes after accusations that the paper hacked into cell phone messages of an array of people,

00:15from missing schoolgirls to grieving military families.

00:19Published reports say the telephone numbers of dead military personnel

00:22were found among files of a detective hired by a tabloid newspaper.

00:27There is no evidence those numbers were used.

00:29There's a huge swirl of allegations at the moment.

00:32Every day is bringing new stories.

00:34We need to establish exactly what the facts are.

00:36Who did what, who commissioned the private investigator, and who knew about it.

00:40Once we know those things, then the people responsible should bear a penalty.

00:44The tabloid is owned by News Corp, helmed by Rupert Murdoch.

00:48He is not talking about the scandal here, but it could cost him advertisers

00:52and complicate his bid to take full control of British Sky Broadcasting.

00:57James Murdoch, head of European newspaper operations, says wrongdoers turned a good newspaper bad

01:03and that the allegations were not fully understood or adequately pursued.
