Andrew Hunter MurrayHOST
Over in London at the Sunday Times offices in Gray's Inn Road, just up from Fleet Street, features editor Magnus Linklater's week is about to take an unexpected turn.
Andrew Hunter MurrayHOST
The date is Thursday the 21st of April, 1983.
Magnus LinklaterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We were summoned in to the editor's office and told that Rupert Murdoch had done a deal with Stern Magazine to acquire the Hitler diaries.
Magnus LinklaterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I think Hugh Trevor-Roper, foremost historian of Nazi Germany, had, we were told, uh, authenticated them.
Magnus LinklaterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Of course, all our instincts were to say, "We, the Sunday Times, the greatest investigative newspaper in the world, has to investigate these diaries.
Magnus LinklaterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You cannot publish them sight unseen." And so I went in to see Frank Giles, the editor, with the late Hugo Young, and we said to Frank, "Look, um, we cannot simply publish these diaries without being allowed to investigate their source, authenticate them, check the handwriting, all the things that you would normally do." Frank Giles said, "No, you cannot.
Magnus LinklaterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Uh, Rupert assures me that they've been authenticated, and our sole responsibility is to publish them.
Malte HerwigGUEST
At the same time, there is a rebellion brewing among the ranks in the newsroom.
Andrew Hunter MurrayHOST
Many journalists at Stern have, like their colleagues at the Sunday Times in London, been kept away from the story until it was too late.
Andrew Hunter MurrayHOST
But that's not the only thing that's troubling them.
Malte HerwigGUEST
They see this kind of whitewashed Hitler.

There's protest.
Andrew Hunter MurrayHOST
Henry Nannon, founder and CEO of Stern Magazine, has no option but to face their wrath.
Andrew Hunter MurrayHOST
At the Sunday Times, the mood is funereal.
Magnus LinklaterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
As the evidence grew that these were fake, we were consumed by gloom.
Malte HerwigGUEST
It's not the 10 million Deutschmarks that ruined Stern, it's the reputational loss.
Andrew Hunter MurrayHOST
In London, the Sunday Times grovels for forgiveness from its loyal readers.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We kept our heads down.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We published an apology to our readers in the Sunday following.
Andrew Hunter MurrayHOST

In the meantime, the magazine team are holding a press conference in their offices to reveal more sensational details to the world's media.

[outro music] And in the end, in news making global headlines, former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has triggered a debate over immigration, raising questions about whether people who are non-white can truly be English or British.
Esha SharmaHOST
Writing a column in the Sunday Times, Sunak cautioned against linking skin color with nationality and highlighted his own dual English and Hindu identity.
Esha SharmaHOST
The former UK PM, the first British politician of Indian heritage to serve at 10 Downing Street, referenced a recent lecture he delivered at Lord's Cricket Ground in the column.

Mike GrahamGUEST
down reform.
Mike GrahamGUEST
And you can see that it happened from, you know, it started at the beginning of the year when they started attacking Richard Tice in the Sunday Times for his, what they called questionable business practices.
Mike GrahamGUEST
Now, Richard Tice is a man and I'll, you know, I won't pretend that I'm not friends with him because we are quite good friends.
