We here to announce the arrest of Paul Douglas Peters. At about 4pm this afternoon, Mr. Peters was arrested without incident by our Louisville FBI SWAT team at the home of his former wife.
On behalf of Maddy and the entire family, we are enormously relieved that an arrest has been made in the United States overnight. These past two weeks have been a difficult time for us. And we're hopeful that this development marks the beginning of the end of this traumatic ordeal 1 for our family.
They show contradictory 2 evidence between James Murdoch and two of his senior executives. They alleged 3 that James Murdoch was aware that illegal voicemails transcripts 4 existed and that led to them to take the payment of a large amount of money to Gordon Taylor. There's also a revelation of a letter from Clive Goodman appealing his sacking in 2007 where he alleges 5 that everyone in the daily editorial meeting of News of the World was familiar with conversations about phone hacking 6. That session was chaired by Andy Coulson, the editor of the paper.
What they have proposed is to set up a eurozone economic government to meet twice a year, and on its council, it would have the heads of the state of all of the 17 nations that share the euro as their common currency. It will have a president elected for two and a half years. Mr. Sarkozy said that he had proposed Herman Van Rompuy, the current president of the European Council, for that role. For the moment, this would be presumably designed to present a united economic front because that has been behind a number of the problems that the eurozone has faced over the last 18 months.
What it appears to me is that take it off the easel. After they take it off, they try to get through the actual drawing by removing a paper. At that point, and again speculation 7 only, they realized that it's gonna be very hard to sell and because of an usual coverage 8 of this incident and I don't think, they may have the knowhow on how to sell it, or make money for it so, they stopped what they were doing and to this old church.
