Rebekah Brooks appeared to lose her composure today giving evidence at her phone-hacking trial, and asked for a break from the stand after being asked about her personal life.

Mr Justice Saunders agreed to a short adjournment.
The ex-News of the World chief texted former PM Tony Blair saying she was 'feeling properly terrified' the day before the police interview.
