11.43am: Sky News political correspondent Sophy Ridge has just finished a live interview from Wapping.

She says there is "a lot of anxiety" and anger in the Sun's newsroom, "almost exclusively" directed at News Corp's management and standards committee which passed information about journalists and sources to the police.

"I do thing Rupert Murdoch will face quite a lot of anger and anxiety when he addresses staff later on," Ridge says.
