Brooks faces fights on all fronts back at Murdoch's London HQ

London

WHEN the once-toxic Rebekah Brooks returns to run Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers on Monday she will face the toughest challenge of her career - rebuilding her reputation and the company in the harsh glare of the public spotlight.

Ms Brooks, the media mogul's protegee who was cleared last year of being part of a criminal phone hacking campaign to dig up news stories, will resume oversight of Britain's The Sun and The Times papers as News UK chief executive, following a four-year battle to clear her name.
