Jacqui Smith, Greg Dyke, Christopher Boothman

Stephen Sackur debates the hacking scandal with Jacqui Smith, Former UK ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Secretary, Greg Dyke, Former DG of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and Christopher Boothman of London's Met Police Authority.

The phone hacking scandal has exposed some of the dirty little secrets of British public life. Journalists turned to crime to gain competitive edge, police chiefs failed to investigate and political leaders looked the other way. Rupert Murdoch's British media business is under intense scrutiny, but so too are the country's most powerful institutions.

HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur talks to three guests - a former Labour ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Secretary, a former boss of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and a member of London's Metropolitan police authority and asks if the hacking scandal really will change Britain?
