Former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks will be charged with three counts of conspiring to pervert the course of justice over the phone-hacking scandal.

Her husband will also be charged with the same offence - and they've issued a statement calling it 'weak and unjust'. 

Four others - including her former PA Cheryl Carter, head of security Mark Hanna, chauffeur Paul Edwards and security consultant Daryl Jorsling have also been told they will face charges.
