Murdoch to face calls for resignation

James Murdoch will face calls to resign as chairman of BSkyB at the satellite broadcaster's annual meeting tomorrow amid fears his links to the phone hacking inquiry at News Corporation will damage the company's reputation.

Top investors such as Kames Capital, which owns 1.7%, and Legal & General, which owns 2.9%, are reportedly planning to vote against Mr Murdoch's re-election as pressure on the son of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch continues to mount.
