Return to Story IndexOBAMA G8
AS ANDREW SPENCER REPORTS, THE G-8 SUMMIT COMES AS CONTROVERSY SWIRLS AS TENSIONS RISE OVER SECTARIAN VIOLENCE IN SYRIA. FOLLOWING A RED-EYE FLIGHT AND HIS ARRIVAL IN BELFAST, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA MAKES REMARKS TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTHERN IRELAND BEFORE JOINING LEADERS OF EIGHT OF THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL NATIONS FOR A CONFERENCE IN COUNTY FERMANAGH, HARD-HIT BY THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS. THE WINDOWS OF CLOSED BUSINESSES IN THE COUNTY HAVE BEEN FITTED WITH IMAGES OF BUSTLE AND PROSPERITY. "There hasn't been an unemployed painter for probably 100 miles for the last month, but its part of an all-over scheme. It compliments G8, and it makes the place look better." A COUNTRY THAT EXPERIENCED DECADES OF SECTARIAN VIOLENCE WILL HOST MEETINGS THAT WILL AMONG OTHER THINGS TAKE ON THE CIVIL WAR IN SYRIA -- A TOPIC THAT'S PUT THE UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA AT ODDS. THE U.S. HAS PLEDGED MORE SUPPORT FOR SYRIAN REBELS. RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN SHARPLY CRITICIZED THAT DECISION, REFERENCING A WIDELY-CIRCULATED VIDEO OF AN OPPOSITION FIGHTER WHO APPEARED TO BE EATING THE HEART OF A DEAD SOLDIER. "One hardly should back those who kills their enemies and eats their organs and all that is filmed and shot. Do you want to support these people? Do you want to supply arms to these people?" ...AND AS THE MEETINGS GET UNDERWAY, THE GUARDIAN REPORTS THAT DURING 2009 G20 SUMMIT IN LONDON, BRITAIN'S ELECTRONIC INTELLIGENCE AGENCY MONITORED THE PHONES OF DELEGATES -- EVEN ATTEMPTING TO LEARN THEIR PASSWORDS. THE NEWSPAPER CITES DOCUMENTS PROVIDED BY A FORMER N-S-A CONTRACTOR, WHO RECENTLY ADMITTED TO LEAKING CONTROVERSIAL DETAILS ABOUT THE UNITED STATES' SURVEILLANCE PROGRAMS. I'M ANDREW SPENCER, REPORTING. PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL HAVE A ONE-ON-ONE MEETING WITH PRESIDENT PUTIN, LATER TODAY. AFTER THE G-8 SUMMIT, OBAMA PLANS TO VISIT GERMANY AT THE INVITATION OF CHANCELLOR ANGELA MERKEL
Return to Story IndexNK TALKS
THE KOREAN STATE-RUN NEWS AGENCY REPORTS THE COUNTRY IS PROPOSING HIGH-LEVEL TALKS WITH THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. THEY WANT A PEACE TREATY, AND TO TALK ABOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS. THERE'S NO PUBLIC RESPONSE YET FROM THE U-S STATE DEPARTMENT OR THE WHITE HOUSE. THE U-S SUPREME COURT IS SET TO RULE ON CALIFORNIA'S CONTROVERSIAL BAN ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, KNOWN AS PROP 8. POSSIBLE OUTCOMES RANGE FROM SIMPLY UPHOLDING THE BAN ... TO RULING THAT STATE BANS ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGES ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THE RULING IS EXPECTED BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH, WHEN THE COURT BREAKS FOR SUMMER RECESS.
Return to Story IndexNSA DATA COLLECTION
CRISTINA MUTCHLER HAS THE STORY. THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IS SAYING THERE IS NO CONSPIRACY TO LISTEN IN ON THE PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS. "It would mean the NSA would have to conspire with the FBI, would have to conspire with both parties in Congress on the intelligence committees and the oversight functions in the executive branch to do something beyond what the law very narrowly allows. I just find that implausible." IN A DOCUMENT RELEASED TO CONGRESS, THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY ARGUES THAT IN RECENT YEARS, DOZENS OF TERROR PLOTS IN MORE THAN 20 COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN DISRUPTED. AND DESPITE HAVING BILLIONS OF PHONE RECORDS, OFFICIALS SEARCHED THE DATABASE FEWER THAN 300 TIMES LAST YEAR. THE AGENCY HAS REPEATEDLY SAID THAT IT ONLY COLLECTS METADATA -- PHONE NUMBERS, PHONE CALL DURATIONS AND LOCATIONS OF THE TWO PARTIES. NO NAMES OR ADDRESSES. BUT DEMOCRATIC SENATOR MARK UDALL OF COLORADO DOESN'T THINK COLLECTING THIS METADATA IS MAKING AMERICA SAFER. "I think it's ultimately, perhaps, a violation of the Fourth Amendment." WHILE THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T "UN-RING" THE BELL THIS SECURITY LEAK HAS SET OFF, A MAN WHO HAS BEEN DIRECTOR OF BOTH THE N-S-A AND C-I-A SAYS HE HOPES AMERICANS WILL ULTIMATELY FEEL SAFER WITH THE INFORMATION THAT DOES COME OUT. "It's an opportunity to explain to the American people why this is done, broadly how effective it has been, and raise their comfort level." I'M CRISTINA MUTCHLER REPORTING. SENATOR UDALL SAYS HE PLANS TO INTRODUCE A BILL THIS WEEK THAT WILL NARROW THE REACH THE NSA HAS IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE PATRIOT ACT.

Return to Story IndexHAPPY BIRTHDAY LAWSUIT
IF ONE COMPANY HAS ITS WAY.....WISHING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS A HAPPY BIRTHDAY COULD BE EXPENSIVE. JOHN BERMAN REPORTS. NO MR. PRESIDENT. DON'T DO IT. NOT THAT SONG. NOT ANOTHER WHITE HOUSE CONTROVERSY. WAIT STOP. NOT THE KIDS TOO, DON'T PUT THEM IN THAT KIND OF LEGAL JEOPARDY. I KNOW, IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE MOST FAMOUS SONG IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. I KNOW, WE HAVE ALL SUNG IT…EVERYONE FROM BABES TO BOMBSHELLS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY INDEED MR. PRESIDENT. "Happy birthday....." BUT IF YOUR HAPPY BIRTHDAY IS TOO BIG, TOO PUBLIC, AND YOU DON'T HAVE PERMISSION…IT COULD COST YOU…"It's a case in which, I think that the previous owners of that song, the 150 THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! "Happy birthday....." OR 112,630 EUROS FOR THOSE WHO ONCE DARED TO SING TO FORMER POPE BENEDICT HAD THEY BEEN CHARGED. THAT'S THE COST FOR THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THOSE 16 LITTLE WORDS, ACCORDING TO WARNER/CHAPPELL MUSIC, WHICH CLAIMS IT OWNS THE RIGHTS TO HAPPY BIRTHDAY. predecessors of Warner-Chappell, at some point didn't think themselves was protected by copyright. But then maybe they saw an opportunity." NOW ONE DOCUMENTARY COMPANY IS TRYING TO CHALLENGE THAT, FILING A LAWSUIT THURSDAY TO HAVE THE SONG RETURNED TO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. "The arrangements are certainly still under protection, but nobody plays those particular piano arrangements when they play 'Happy Birthday' so that's not economically significant." WARNER/CHAPPELL HAVE THEIR REASONS FOR FIGHTING...2 MILLION IN FACT. THAT IS HOW MUCH THEY MAKE--2 MILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR ON THE SONG. IT'S WHY SO MANY TV SHOWS AND MOVIES GO TO RIDICULOUS ENDS TO NOT SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVEN THOUGH THEY MEAN HAPPY BIRTHDAY. FROM THE THREE STOOGES..... .....TO TWO BROKE GIRLS WHO'D BE EVEN MORE BROKE IF THEY DIDN'T TRY THIS VERSION. EVEN MR. ROGERS...... EVEN MR. ROGERS!!!! IF IT IS NOT SAFE FOR HIM...CAN IT BE SAFE FOR ANY OF US? HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...OH NEVER MIND...I CAN'T AFFORD IT.
