News Int denials 'beggar belief'

This Sunday's edition of News of the World will be the British tabloid's last after News International announced it is to close. The newspaper, part of Rupert Murdoch's media empire, has been at the centre of a phone hacking scandal stretching back years, but which has escalated in recent weeks. Ben Fenton, chief media correspondent, gives Richard Edgar his assessment of Thursday's events and what impact they will have.
