Today, we're going to start a daily update about the British phone-hacking scandal. This story continues to evolve hour by hour and it's gone beyond the demise of News of the World. Assistant Police Commisioner John Yates has just been questioned about his handling of the hacking scandal, he thinks his phone was hacked too. In fact, so many people now think their phone was hacked from George Michael to Gordon Brown, it's quite hard to get your head around all the details, but today at 1700GMT, we'll try make some sense of the developments. But we want you to get involved, since you have heard about the scandal has it changed your opinion of Britain? Most British people I have spoken to have said they are not surprised but they are disappointed. What about you? When you heard about the UK police, politicians and newspapers what was your reaction? Also today, we'll chat more about the assassination of Ahmed Wali Karzai, the half-brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Mr Ahmed Wali Karzai was a political leader in Khandahar, reports say that he was killed by his bodyguard. Here's Chloe's blog post on the story. Robert Fox inDo you think that's too exaggerated a claim? Please do get in touch.
