The family of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler has called on former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks to resign from her post as chief executive of News International.

As the News of the World closure fails to quell the phone-hacking controversy at Rupert Murdoch’s News International, Channel 4 News looks at some of the oustanding questions.

Currently Dow Jones CEO, Les Hinton has worked with Rupert Murdoch for more than 50 years. But attention is now focused on his time between 1995 and 2007, when he was in charge of News International.

Rebekah Brooks, the News International chief executive, is expected to be interviewed by police investigating the phone-hacking and bribery scandal at the News of the World, according to reports.

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been told by police that his bank accounts and his son’s medical records may have been illegally accessed by News International newspapers.

Rupert Murdoch’s biographer tells Channel 4 News the tycoon “is in more trouble than he has ever been in” and questions News Corp’s entire future after another dramatic day in the phone-hack crisis.

So here’s the dilemma for David Cameron : do you let it through, strengthen the Murdoch empire and take a political battering for being their poodle or do you block it, alienate the Sun and Times newspapers and make a mockery of your own words to date on media plurality tests in the hope that the electorate (vast numbers of which still buy Murdoch newspapers and watch Sky TV) will thank you for it?

All eyes turn to the arrival in the UK of News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch, who says his first priority is Rebekah Brooks, despite facing mounting pressure to drop his takeover bid for BSkyB.

Sales of the final edition of the News of the World jump 30 per cent as the Sunday tabloid apologises, telling its readers: “Quite simply we lost our way”.

News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch is expected to arrive in London to take charge of the growing crisis at News of the World, amid calls for a judge to lead an inquiry into the scandal.

As Downing Street, the Met police and News International reel from the News of the World phone-hacking scandal, Channel 4 News asks if people power helped “keep the story alive”.
