1. a terrorist plot, leaked information, secret record gathering and that is just the first story
on this wednesday's show.
this story involves a news organization and the US justice department
the associated press says the government agency secretly collected two months of
telephone records from AP employees.
the president of the AP said, quote, "these records potentially reveal communications
with confidential sources and dislose information about AP's activities and operations
that the government has no conceivable right to know".
the AP reported that the government hasn't said why it wanted the records, but officials
said they were looking into how details of a foiled bomb plot were leaked last year.
attorney General Eric Holder runs the US. justice department.
he says he wasn't involved in the decision to collect phone records, but he said the leak
put the American people at risk.
trying to determine who is responsible for it required, in his words, "very aggressive
action".
you know that the US has freedom of the press. it is in "the constitution". but that
freedom doesn't necessarily cover everything the press does.
CNN legal analysts, Jeffrey Toobin says there is no law that allows reporters to protect
their sources.
toobin says what the US justice Department did was legal, but it is also farther than
presidential administration has gone before.
just the facts - Bangladesh is a country in southern asia. it is home to more than 160
million people.
the country struggles with poverty, overpopulation and political instability.
but its economy has been growing in recent years. its garment industry makes up nearly
80 percent of the country's exports.
the people who make those clothes do so at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the
salary of what it takes to make them in the US. minimum wage in Bangladesh, less than
40 dollars a month.
2. a recent tragedy has brought a lot of attention to the bad conditions that many
Bangladeshis work in.
a day after cracks appeared in a nine story building near Bangladesh's capital, employees
of its garment factories were told to come to work anyway.
when the building collapsed on april 24th, more than 1100 people were killed.
in the weeks since, more than 2400 were rescued from the rubble. the nation's army
ended its recovery effort yesterday.
the owners of the building and its factories have been arrested and the government says it
will improve conditions for Bangladeshi workers, though some are calling that too little
too late.
pressure is on internationally, as well, many companies in the US and Europe have
clothes manufactured in Bangladesh.
they're being pushed to make sure conditions for workers are safe.
different cultures around the world approach education differently.
earlier this week, we talked about sierra leone and how girls there haven't traditionally
been given access to education.
in south korea, the issue isn't getting an education, it's more about how well you do in
school. and what some students are doing to succeed is having an impact across the entire
country.
south korea's education is so competitive, many children spend evenings, weekends,
holidays at cramming schools like this.
but amid the clamor to get better grades, it appears some have been cheating in the all important SAT tests to get into US universities.
