		BREAKING: Back at the #hackingtrial Anthony Edis QC, counsel for the prosecution, calls Jude Law as his first witness on Count One.
		Justice Saunders apologises about delays. Edis says he doesn’t need to ask Law who he is, and he won’t have problems with voice
		Edis for the crown goes back to 2001-06 and asks Jude Law to explain who people are and what they meant in your life.
		Law explains Ben Jackson is a friend who is also producing partner and assistant
		“This is probably a stupid question, but I’m going to ask it anyway – who is Sadie Frost?” asks Edis. Law explains her, Miller and Schmidt
		Andrew Edis asks about Jude Law’s nomination for Oscar in 2001: “There was a lot more interest in my private life,” says Law
		Law explains to Andrew Edis QC how his marriage with Frost became difficult around 2001, and the press reported on it “quite regularly”
		Law says from 2001, increasing over 4 or 5 years; “the daily appearance of packs of photographer… me and my children and friends folllowed
		“I became aware that when I went to a meeting secretly… with the children… the press would already be there,” says Law
		“Press attention was from the divorce with Sadie to when I met Miss Miller and beyond,” says Law
		Jude Law explains how he and Sienna Miller were together to about 2005. Then met up again and were together from about 2009 to 2011
		Jude Law says he’d never heard of Mulcaire till the police showed him the former NOTW private investigator’s notes
		“There seemed to an unhealthy amount of information someone had about my whereabouts,” says Law. “I was shocked but didn’t surprise me”
		“They were able to follow me not just in this country but abroad aswell,’ says Law to #hackingtrial
		BREAKING: US hacking: “One of the numbers that appeared on the notes was an agent… and several other numbers I’d been loaned,” says Law

		Law was played messages of his own voice , arrangements over his children, played to him by police. Also Sadie Frost‘s disagreement
	Counsel for Andy Coulson cross examines Jude Law
		Andrew Edis QC gives way to Timothy Langdale QC, counsel for Andy Coulson.
		Langdale wants to ask about some matters “that took place in 2005′ which may have “some bearing on another witnesses’ evidence”
		In September 24 2005, Sienna Miller went to the wedding of her sister Savannah in West Country, says Langdale for Coulson.
		Law confirms he went to the wedding reception, he arrived early evening he says. Sienna Miller was already there.
		FYI: Edis has finished his questioning, Langdale is cross examining
		Jude Law confirms he spent the night at Cliveden on that Sunday night returning from wedding. Surprised if he had lunch there on the Monday
		Law is asked if he was at the Groucho Club that Monday night: he can’t say but confirms it is a location he and Miller went to time to time
		Langdale asks Law if he was “aware of rumours of an… affair with Daniel Craig?” around the 24/09/05 “I think I probably was”
		Langdale asks if Law was told about the Daniel Craig affair: “How did I find out?” Law asks himself. “Hard to remember… blurs in….”
		“I was told before it was reported on,” says Law about the Daniel Craig Sienna Miller affair.
		Langdale says he will produce at NOTW article from the 9th of October breaking news of the Miller/Craig affair.
		Jude Law confirms he rang Daniel Craig at the time when he was in Baltimore: “No doubt you expressed your view,” says Langdale
		Law is asked if he made any reference to Daniel Craig‘s girlfriend “More than likely…. we’ve known each other many years,” explains Law
		Law confirms that he told Craig he ought to tell his girlfriend about his affair with Sienna Miller.
		“You probably know more than I do,” says Law. “It’s your memory that counts.” says Justice Saunders,” about whether before NOTW article
		Langdale produces a bundle for “Mr Craig”: picked up by the judge he corrects “Mr Law”
		Langdale for Coulson takes the jury to ‘Sienna Cheats on Jude” NOTW headline
		Another NOTW article headed ‘Layer Fake’: “I’m not going to ask you to read it,” says Langdale. “I’d rather not,” says Law
		Article cites Law’s conversation with Daniel Craig from “our source” – confirms the gist is right to Langdale, counsel for Coulson.
		Law confirms he didn’t leave any voice mail messages for Daniel Craig.
		Langdale asks if Jude Law knew “people associated with you… had been talking to NOTW about this story.” Law: “No… though I suspected”
		“I suspected many people over that period of time,’ says Jude Law about the volume of press coverage. Langdale focuses on Sept Oct 2005
		“Were you not aware a member of your immediate family was talking to the NOTW about this?” Langdale. Law: “I was made aware later on.”
		Law said he wasn’t aware until 2011 that NOTW had been in contact with members of his family asking for quotes.
		Langdale asserts Law’s family member was paid by NOTW: “I’ve never been aware of that…”
		Langdale wants to write the name on a piece of paper. Law says he was aware of no one. Saunders allows Langdale to pass on the name
		“Were you aware that member of your family was providing information to NOTW?” Law said he was made aware very recently #hackingtrial
		Jude Law says he was “never aware any money had changed hands”. As for a publicist also talking to NOTW “only made aware recently”
		Langdale asks Law about his close friend and publicist talking to him when the latter was talking to another NOTW journalist.
		Law says his publicist friend “was speaking to various journalists” when that story was in the paper. “Troubleshooting, basically” says Law
		Jude Law on October 2005: “there we so many stories, so incessantly… I had my publicist on speed dial” #hackingtrial
		Langdale “Were you aware you publicist friend was talking about your side of story” to NOTW journo. “I wasn’t aware of that,” says Law
		Jude Law also only became aware later that another contact “who provided services” was also talking to NOTW
		Langdale hands over a piece of paper with these other to names to Jude Law: “Yes, that’s correct’ he says of publicist and employee
		Langdale asserts that these sources provided the basis of the NOTW article. “The jury are going to be shown a transcript,” says Langdale
		“To answer that wholly and clearly, my conversations with publicist… were to get story straight or my point across, a level playing field”
		“It was a conversation I was having on a regular basis…. to troubleshoot the stories yet to come out,” says Jude Law on his publicist
		“You’re often given a head up where it’s going a day before… because they’d normally call you for a quote,” says Law of NOTW stories.
		“I didn’t know that,” says Law of a NOTW journalist: “I don’t remember meeting him.” He’s asked about Wimbledon
		“I hate to sound blase, I go to things and meet a lot of people,” says Jude Law of meeting a journalist at Wimbledon.
		Saunders asks Timothy Langdale QC to speak up: “Now that I’ve been asked to speak up, you’ll be delighted to know I have no more questions”
		The two pieces of paper with three names shown by Jude Law will be retained by the court, and will be seen by prosecution and judge later
	Further Prosecution questions to Jude Law
		Edis for the crown wants the jury to retire.
		Jude Law the witness and #hackingtrial jury back in after a short break
		Edis for the crown asks Law when was the first time he heard a member of his family had been paid by NOTW: “Today,” says Law
		Edis turns to NOTW 09/10/05 article on the allegation of Craig Miller affair. “Is that an article you wanted to appear?” “No,” says Law
		Edis “It has been suggested part of that article… came from sources close to you. Did you authorise that exercise” Law “No, in no way”
		Three NOTW journalist, including Dan Evans, are cited as authors. Law confirms he had no contacts with any of these journalists.
	A member of Jude Law’s family sold stories to the News of the World
		BREAKING: Jude Law learns in court for the first time a close family member received money for selling stories to NOTW.
		Law says there was no conversation between his publicist and NOTW before the Daniel Craig Sienna Miller story was published.
		Edis asks Law when he became aware of employee selling stories: Law ponders.
		“I would say I first… I mean I’ve never been given concrete fact this was the case… the name first came up 2012, maybe 2011” Jude Law
		Sienna Miller was the source of the information about an employee betraying him.
		Law says he first became aware “more recently… in autumn of last year” a close family member was in contact with NOTW.
		“I was simply told…. not specific to a story… around this time this relative had been…. brought into a conversation.” says Law
		“I hope I’ll forgiven,’ says Edis what was the source of information: “From the relative. Initially from investigation,” says Law.
		“Information from the police cause you to have a conversation with the relative?” asks Edis. Law confirms.
		On Daniel Craig‘s girlfriend at the time, Saski, Jude Law says “I didn’t really know her.”
		“As far as you are concerned, did anything go into this edition of NOTW, on your behalf,” Edis asks. “No,” says Law. Evidence over.

		Evans says it was “pretty clear” that Evan’s ability to phone hack was wanted. He was offered a job at NOTW. He didn’t take it at first.
		“My interested was piqued by James’ approach…. but I didn”t want to arrive there as his pet phone hacker,” says Dan Evans about Weatherup
		“James is a classic old school tabloid hack… you need to arrive with great source of exclusive stories… I could see why he wanted me.”

		Evans says this NOTW journalist – “a bombastic character” asked “we know you can screw phones but what else can you do?”

		At discussion with third NOTW journo who said: “you’d be a good fit for us” Evans says “I wanted to work for market leader.”
		“I want you to set up an investigations unit” said this NOTW journo: “If you can’t beat them, join them… we want you to do ‘some of that'”

		Dan Evans “I’ll be taking a bit of a punt… 60-100 on my list.. quite a few from that list… I was paying lip service to the task…”
		“I was a little bit crest fallen the first thing I was told was ‘get on that list’,” says Dan Evans of the NOTW phone hacking.

		BREAKING: “Pretty anything private” Dan Evans tells #hackingtrial could be got by ‘inquiry’ agents hired at £2k a week by NOTW
		“So I want to find out about you,” says Evans to Edis. He gets billing data. Who you called first thing, last thing. Significant others.
		“Can we hack their voicemail? Oh they are… let’s go along with a photographer,” Evans explains of the Dark Arts.
		“That’s kind of how tabloid journalism worked in those days, that was life;” says Evans of dark arts culminating in payments.
		Evans says he “can’t speak for other departments” and didn’t know about other inquiry agents. Rob Palmer was preferred agent he used.
		Dan Evans explains how inquiry agents would blag private records: “confident and fluid about… pretext blagging”
		“I was supplied with company phone… a Nokia ‘brick’… and a cash for some ‘burner phones'” says Evans of his employment at NOTW.
		Jury shown document from 13/01/05 of the ‘Nokia Brick’. Dan Evans explained that ‘burner phones’ would be destroyed after illicit use
		“Cash would be delivered by PA or runner… from ground floor at Wapping… usually in an envelope, a white one,” Evan says of cash payments
		Evans says he’d get rid of burner phones every few months. He now explains his “very unscientific method’ of phone hacking.
		“I’d press dial on one, count a few seconds, dial the second, and one trips the voicemail menu, the other put down really quickly” Evans
		“In the voicemail menu you press star…. enter the correct pin. If you didn’t know it, you’d guess it… Dates of birth, years of birth”
		“You try and think ‘what would I do if it was my phone'” Dan Evans says of breaking pin code protection.
		Former NOTW journalist explains the various default pin codes – he still remembers all the numbers for the network “etched in my brain”
		“It’s hardly rocket science, that’s why tabloid hacks were doing it,” says Evans of phone hacking at NOTW.

		Dan Evans calls it like a ‘farming process’ getting the numbers of those who left voicemails on others phones.
		“I told xxxxxxxxx,” says Dan Evans of any information he got from phone hacking. “I’d have a big conversation… I picked this up…”
		“Permission to go run with it” is how Dan Evans explains his report back procedure. He’d write a note of intercepted voice mail messages
		Edis asks about ‘conferences’ with NOTW: usually Tuesday morning. “You’d finish up Sat… you’d expect to arrive with three stories Tuesday”
		Evans:”You’d rock up 11 am…. have a show and tell…. things liked look of…. taken to editor’s conference. Andy would chair meeting’
		“I never attended these meetings but sat at my desk 300m away watching them for five or six years,’ says Evans of editorial conference
		Evans on ‘budget control system’ at NOTW: “a strict hierarchical protocol… over a thousand pounds… had to be given thumbs up by Kuttner”
		“People were checked against electoral roll to see if they were real people,” Evans says of contributors payments.
		“I was caught phone hacking… Kelly Hoppen, interior designer,” says Evans. “I made a fairly fundamental blunder… oh god.”
		“In a moment of panic I tried to hack her phone…. she managed to obtain a court order from Mr Justice Eady to disclose number”
		Evans used his company phone for that attempted hack of Kelly Hoppen: “I was a moron,” says Evans of that use
		“This is a long story…” says Evans. “This is all happening in 2009,” says Edis. He hadn’t hacked since “Glenn got busted”
		“There was a clampdown on dark artistry… I didn’t own any burners… obsession with budget… didn’t like people out of the office” Evans
		Evans explained that in 2009 he felt ‘chained to his desk’ and that he was worried about expenses: so he stopped using burners and co phone
