News Corp profits increase as hacking scandal costs soar

Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation says the phone hacking scandal at the News of the World cost it £65m in the second half of the year.

Around £10m of that went to victims claiming compensation - and the rest was spent on lawyers and consultants.

It comes as the company announced profits of 65% on Thursday.
