Rupert Murdoch leaves his home in Mayfair, London, as British Prime Minister David Cameron joined demands for the media mogul to drop his BSkyB takeover bid in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal Wednesday July 13, 2011. Britain's House of Commons is poised to demand that Rupert Murdoch give up on his ambition of taking over a lucrative broadcaster while a phone hacking scandal rages around his British newspaper holdings. Cameron has put his party's weight behind an opposition motion up for a vote Wednesday which declares that bidding for full control of British Sky Broadcasting would not be in the national interest.

FILE - In this May 15, 2011 file photo, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, head of the International Monetary Fund, is lead from a police station in New York where he was being held. While American authorities have condoned, or at least tolerated, such âperp walksâ for more than a century, in France itâs been illegal to show images of suspects in handcuffs since 2000. French politicians and citizens alike are upset by the images, which they say make Strauss-Kahn, accused of sexual abuse, appear guilty. (AP Photo/Craig Ruttle, File) (Craig Ruttle)
