Rupert Murdoch Answers UK Parliament's Questions [LIVE VIDEO]

Members of the UK Parliament are currently questioning Rupert Murdoch and his son James Murdoch about News International's phone hacking scandal.

"We felt ashamed at what had happened," Rupert Murdoch said when asked why he chose to close News of the World.

Reporters for the paper were discovered to have hacked cellphones of high-profile celebrities and a 13-year-old girl who had been abducted and later found dead. Members of the police were also reportedly paid bribes.

Rupert also said in the Parliamentary inquiry that he's not responsible for the wrongdoing, but instead the responsibility lies on people whom he trusted and people whom they trusted.
