Video: Leveson Inquiry: Rupert Murdoch admits there was a cover-up at News of the World The News Corporation boss said: "I think the senior executives were shielded from anything that was going on there, and I do blame one or two people for that, who perhaps I shouldn't name, because for all I know they may be arrested yet. But there's no question in my mind that maybe even the editor, but certainly beyond that, someone took charge of a cover-up, which we were victim to and I regret. Mr Murdoch snapped back "perhaps people with with minds like yours," before quickly saying "I take that back." He added: "I also have to say I've failed."
