This weeks' Sunday Round up continues to look at the fall out at News International, the political reaction to the scandal as well as The Apprentice final which goes out tonight.

In his latest apology advert this morning, Rupert Mordoch has vowed to put right the wrongs at his company.

Labour Leader Ed Milliband has told The Observer that in the wake of recent weeks, the empire of Rupert Murdoch should be ‘dismantled’. He also calls on all political parties to unite in calling for new media ownership laws.

Former aides to Tony Blair have said that they fear that The News of the World may have attempted to hack into the staff of the former Prime Minister’s phone. Aides have been contacted by police investigators into the hacking at the newspapers, Scotland on Sunday has learned.

The children of Rupert Murdoch have apparently turned on one another, while daughter Elizabeth has launched an attack on former chief executive of News International Rebekah Brooks, claiming that she f***** the company'. Elizabeth Murodch made the claim, according to the Sunday Mail, through Twitter.

Chris Evans is driving viewers away from The One Show, The Sunday Express has claimed, with around two million having stopped watching the show since he joined. The paper also claims that his Radio Two show has also lost around 1 million listeners in the last six months.

A website which allows people to caputre pictures using old photos in the locations they were taken has had over 4 million hits, revealed by The Sunday Mirror. The website ‘Dear Photograph’ sees people upload a picture in the location where it was originally taken to share an important memory or event online.

The Apprentice is currently receiving its highest viewing figures, with the final set to air tonight, says The Observer. One of the show’s advisers, Nick Hewer has even claimed that an episode this season was watched by more viewers than Eastenders.
