A newspaper in the UK is accused of hacking into the cell phone of a murdered girl while she was missing. The News of The World has also been accused of hacking into the phones of some of the relatives of the July 7 bombings in London in 2005. And Tuesday, the British prime minister David Cameron has backed calls for an independent inquiry into the scandal. Anchor Marco Werman gets the latest on the story from the BBC’s Rob Watson.
