The Guardian newspaper alleges that News International, which owns the News Of The World, has secretly paid more than £1m in out-of-court settlements after its journalists were accused of involvement in phone hacking. Media correspondent Torin Douglas, and Andrew Neil, a veteran of News International and former Editor of the Sunday Times discuss whether phone hacking has become commonplace in modern journalism.

Following the allegations, John Prescott called for David Cameron to get rid of his director of communications, Andy Coulson, who was the News of the World editor at the time of the scandal. Political editor Nick Robinson and former home secretary Charles Clarke discuss whether Mr Coulson should be held responsible.
