Murdoch to personally handle fallout

RUPERT MURDOCH, the chairman and chief executive of News Corporation, was last night planning to fly into London to attempt to address the fallout of the phone-hacking scandal that has engulfed the News of the World newspaper and threatened his bid for control of British Sky Broadcasting.

The news came as Scotland Yard said a 63-year-old man was arrested in connection with allegations of corruption at an address in Surrey by officers investigating phone hacking.

Sources in Britain said the man is believed to be a private investigator who worked for the News of the World.
