>> reporter: yeah. i mean, this is the first time we've heard rupert murdoch himself admit in his words that there was a cover-up. the news corp line to start with was that this was the work of one rogue reporter at one newspaper, the "news of the world" that famously got shut down last year. then the scandal has spread and spread and spread. now for the first time, he's admitted that he was basically misinformed and shielded from what was going on but did agree with the lawyer questioning him, robert jay, that there had been a cover-up at that newspaper. >> there's no question in my mind that maybe even the editor but certainly beyond that, someone took charge of a cover-up which we were victim to and i regret. >> he regrets, but it's something that is engulfing his media empire world wide. there are going to be big questions for him to answer in the u.s. about this, about, well, if there was a cover-up, why didn't he know about it. was he part of it? when did he feigned out and why didn't he tell shareholders of news corp in new york? and also some insight into the moment that he found out that this phone-hacking story was going stratospheric, the day that we got news that a murdered british schoolgirl's voice mail had been hacked into by some of his journalists. he gave a very graphic account of what it was like to get that news and how he reacted. >> you could feel the blast coming in the window, and as i would say simply i panicked, but i'm glad i did. >> well, it's obvious that closing it was a disaster. >> i'm sorry i didn't close it years before i put it in. >> so they are admitting that he wished he had shut down "the news of the world" earlier than he did. of course, it was shut down in disgrace last year, you'll the way through really rupert murdoch trying to say, look, they have gone to extraordinary lengths to try to get to the bottom of this. they said 300 million e-mails they have looked at, of which 2 million have been forwarded for further investigation by the police. this isn't over yet. he's got a lot of questions still to answer about. exactly how this cover-up occurred, and as the guy at the top of the organization some responsibility surely for ultimately, as he said, the buck stops with him. he put a lot of these people in their post and, therefore, his critics will say he must share some responsibility for that cover-up. >> dan rivers out of london. dan, thanks. grave, immoral sinner. that's what an indiana teacher says she was called after going through ivf. now emily hertz is suing for discrimination. she joins me live next. mine was earned off vietnam in 1968. over the south pacific in 1943. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation. because it offers a superior level of protection, and because usaa's commitment to serve the military, veterans and their families is without equal. begin your legacy, get an auto insurance quote. usaa. we know what it means to serve. well, in vitro fertilization is a godsend for millions of infertile couples who long to have children, but the catholic church says it's a sin, so when higher-ups in the diocese in ft. wayne, indiana learned that a teacher at st. paul vincent catholic school was undergoing ivf treatments they fired her and made no apologies about it. quote, the diocese has clear policies requiring that teachers in its schools must have a knowledge of and respect for the catholic faith and abide by the tenets of the catholic church. the teacher then accused the school and diocese of violating both the civil rights act and the americans with disabilities act, the equal opportunity employment commission agreed. still, the church sun moved calling the core issue as a challenge to the diocese's right as a religious employer to make religious-based decisions consistent with the standards on an impartial basis. meet the teacher, emily hertz who joins me from new york with her attorney kathleen delaney. were you ever reprimanded for any performance issues? >> never, not once. i was always given remarks by my parents and principals and other teachers. i was told that my children performed very well so everything seemed to be going great for as long as i was there. >> so did anyone ever tell you that ivf could get you fired? >> no, absolutely not. about two years when -- two years ago when we started, there was no warning. there was nothing about fertility treatments being an issue. >> and did you ever try to hide it from anybody, not talk about it? >> no. i was very honest with my principal from the get-go, so i was -- i was never trying to lie about it or anything like that. >> was your principal supportive? >> yes, she was. for the first two years she never warned me about it. she never said there was a possibility that you could lose your job. so that's why this was all so shocking that this was happening. >> we're talking about a catholic school and did she ever say, hey, let's pray about it and i'll keep new my prayers and let's stay focused on this. >> absolutely. the first time she was made aware that my husband and i had to go through fertility treatment she said you are in my prayers so that's -- that to me was support. >> so i -- i see that you started fertility in 2008, and you weren't fired until 2011, so tell me what happened. how did this blow up? >> honestly i'm not sure. it was shocking because one day i got an e-mail saying that i needed to meet with the monsignor at st. vincent, and he told me that basically my job was at risk out of the blue and i said, well, you know, my principal has been knowing about this for two years. i didn't think i was doing anything wrong, and i had never had any complaints about, you know, me as a teacher so i was shocked and then it just kind of snowballed from there. so it's been very traumatic. >> so who had the issue with the fact that you were going through ivf? >> well, we're going to have to explore that issue, kyra, through the discovery process, and we'll be able to prove that when the time comes. >> so -- and i'll talk more with you, kathleen, of course, about some of the details but just trying to get a feel from emily on how this all unfolded. emily, it seems like you had a lot of support, that people were aware of what you were going through. the principal, as you say was praying for you. how has this impacted your family in. >> oh, my family is devastated. we are all emotionally -- it's been a very rough year. my entire family, my parents, it's just been a very hard thing to come to grips to because i did love my job so much and did love teaching so much, you know. right after college i was so excited to get a job there, and, you know, to have that stripped away from me, but the outpour of support has been wonderful. >> so kathleen, does the diocese insurance policy cover these treatments, cover fertility treatments? >> our understanding, based upon the information that we now have, is that the diocese health plan covered some of the treatments, including office visits and anesthesia services. >> okay. so emily, as far as you knew, you were going through this and the insurance that you have through the diocese was helping you pay for these treatments. >> absolutely. >> the bills were getting paid? >> some of the bills were getting paid, absolutely. >> okay. so then kathleen, if i -- in the diocesor to use the diocese's own words, the quote here is that your client was fired for improprieties related to church teachings or law. so let me ask you this. what about the teachers who use contraception, teachers that are divorced, teachers that lived -- live with partners that are unmarried? >> that's a very good point, kyra, and in proving discrimination claims the evidence that's relevant includes how similarly situated people who are not in the same gender category are treated, so if male teachers are using contraception and participating in fertility treatment with their spouses and not being terminated for it, then that is one way that we can prove gender discrimination, for example. >> kathleen, do you know if that's happening? >> kyra, i'm not in a position to tell you names and dates on that, but if you read the research in the news media about the briprevalence of contracept use within the catholic community, i think that's a safe assumption to make. >> what do you think is happening here? do you think someone had a grudge against your client and making a big deal when apparently everything was okay from 2008 to 2011 if indeed the principal knew she was going through the treatment, the bills were getting paid for things covered by the insurance policy? >> well, we're not going to speculate on the motives of the diocese of ft. wayne. i think it's for them to address those questions when the time comes rather than us. >> understood. emily, i know this may be a bit of a personal question, but did the ivf work for you? >> honestly, no, it has not. >> and i know that must be tremendously hard to deal with as well. do you want to do it again? do you want to keep trying? >> right now i don't feel comfortable talking about that r, but -- >> it's a really tough topic, kyra, and that's really between emily and her husband and her doctor. >> understandable. how about returning to the classroom, emily? >> one day i would love to be in front of children again, but, i mean, this has been such a traumatic year that right now i need to focus on getting through it. >> we will definitely follow the case. emily and kathleen, thanks so much for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you for your interest, kyra. >> you bet. straight ahead, traveling with pets is much more common new addais, but finding pet friendly destinations, well, that can be a pretty big challenge. look no further. we do have a solution next.
