James Murdoch is to step down as executive chairman of News International, it was announced today.
Parent company News Corporation said in a statement the move would allow him to focus on expanding the company’s international TV businesses.
Mr Murdoch has faced intense scrutiny in the wake of the News of the World phone hacking scandal.
The company said Mr Murdoch, who is its deputy chief operating officer, was stepping down from the role in NI, which is its UK publishing unit, following his relocation to the company’s headquarters in New York.

Sounds like he's taken his hand out of one pie to put it into another one. He should be in prison....

Dominoes anyone?
And lets not miss out on the other good news of the day, from the same source:
An Egyptian named by the United States as one of al-Qaeda’s most senior figures has been arrested in Cairo.
Seif Al-Adel, said to have briefly assumed leadership of the terror group after Osama Bin Laden's death, is on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list with a $5 million (€3.7 million) price on his head.
According to the FBI website, the former Egyptian army officer is wanted on charges related to conspiracy to kill US nationals, murder, to destroy buildings and property of the United States and to destroy the national defence utilities of the United States.
