2155 GMT: And Now For Something Completely Different. I was interviewed this evening by the international service of Iranian State radio.
The topic? The closure of Rupert Murdoch's newspaper News of the World, first printed in 1843, because of a scandal over the hacking of private mobile phones, including the families of murder victims, those slain in the 2005 London bombing, and British troops killed in action.
