News about James Murdoch

Labor's climate and energy minister Chris Bowen has taken a stab at Sky News host Andrew Bolt after he threatened to quit News Corp if James Murdoch took over.

Lawyers for the Duke of Sussex and others were today criticised by a judge for trying 'to shoot at "trophy" targets' - as they lost a bid to drag Rupert Murdoch into their hacking trial against the publisher of The Sun. Mr Justice Fancourt said they were trying to 'inculpate the man at the very top' by pinning knowledge on the media mogul personally. A trial is scheduled for next January to test claims by Prince Harry and more than 40 others that journalists working for News Group Newspapers (NGN) engaged in alleged unlawful information gathering and invasion of privacy. Earlier this year they asked the High Court for permission to amend their case to add new details, including the names of Mr Murdoch, his son James Murdoch and senior executives at the company. They claimed Mr Murdoch was personally involved in a cover-up of wrongdoing at NGN that was perpetrated 'right at the highest level'.

All contributions to political parties worth more than £500 must be declared. However, election Commission reports show that only one from a living donor was accepted by the rebels. The £5,000 donation was dwarfed in value by the fact that the group was left as bequests in the wills of supporters who died. The results also reveal how reliant the party is on taxpayer funds after a year in which the party's finances came into sharper focus. Last year, it received £1.6 million, with 1.35 million from Westminster funds to help them with debt reduction and democracy.

Joseph Cox, senior staff writer, published the eye-watering compensation plans on Monday, just less than two months after the troubled media startup applied for Chapter 11 in mid-May. The post, which was posted on Twitter, included screenshots – snipped from a publicly accessible document filed Monday as part of the firm's ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. The 139-page filing shows that the compensations paid out to four figures in particular, including ex Global President of News and Entertainment Jesse Angelo (bottom right), who left the company in March. Angelo, a close friend of James Murdoch, received a total of $815,254 in compensation in the months leading up to his resignation.

MCCAIN: One of the first things I noticed this morning was a scene from HBO's Chernobyl, in which a man who had been exposed to radiation and touching his pregnant wife's stomach. In the end, the baby dies as a result of radiation exposure. Granted, this may be a drastic reaction on my part, but please excuse me if the threat of nuclear holocaust causes me fear and trembling. I'm also angry. How could he be so caviler? The government is giving out potassium iodine tablets to evacuation centers in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, in preparation for a possible Russian nuclear attack on Ukraine's capital. If taken shortly or immediately after exposure to nuclear fallout, potassium iodine tablets can help prevent radiation absorption by the thyroid gland. Sorry, if that doesn't make me feel any better. Does the President suggest that we fill our medicine cabinets in America as well?
