Rupert Murdoch, son James and former top aide Rebekah Brooks face an uncomfortable afternoon on Tuesday in front of members of Britain's Culture, Media and Sport Committee over the phone-hacking scandal.

The cross-party group, which monitors the workings of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, will demand that the trio "account for the behaviour of News International" in the wake of revelations about hacking at the News of the World tabloid.
The Commons summoned the trio last week to appear before the committee but those in search of startling admissions may be disappointed.
The 10 lawmakers who make up the committee will be wary of intruding on the ongoing police phone-hacking investigations and the upcoming Public Inquiry to be led by judge Brian Leveson.
Committee chairman John Whittingdale is also known to be more mild mannered than Keith Vaz, his counterpart at the Home Affairs Committee whose belligerence during a hearing last week embarrassed former police bosses.
Vaz will be back in the hotseat before Murdoch's grilling on Tuesday as the Home Affairs Committee quizzes outgoing Metropolitan police chief Paul Stephenson, now only Acting Commissioner, and ex-Assistant Commissioner John Yates, who quit on Monday.
The Home Affairs Committee examines Britain's interior ministry and is conducting an inquiry into the police's response to the scandal.
