Hi, everyone, I'm Carl Azuz.
This story involves news organization and US justice department. The Associate Press says the government agecy secretly collected 2 months of telephone records from AP employees. The president of AP said, quote Thesse records potentially review communications with confidential resources, and disclose information about AP's activities and operations that the government has no conceivable rights to know.
The AP report that the government hasn't said why it wanna the records. But the official said they were looking in how details 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 the phone records, but he said the leak put the American people at risk. Trying to determine who's responsible for, reqiring his words very aggressive action. You know that the US has freedom of the press, it's in the constitution. But that freedom doesn't necessarily cover everything the press does. CNN legel analyst 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's also farther than any presidential administration has gone before.

But its economy has been growing in recent years. Its garment industry makes up nearly 80 percent of the country's exports.
People who make those clothes, do so at a fraction of the cost and the fraction of salary of what it takes to make them in the US. Mimimum wage in Bangladesh less than 40 dollars a month.
A recent tragedy has brought a lot of attetion to the bad conditions that many Bangladesh is work in. A day after cracks appeared in a 9-story building near Bangladesh capital, employees of its garment factory were told to work anyway. When the building collapsed on April. 24th, more than 1,100 people were killed. In the weeks since, more than 2,400 were rescued from the rubble.
The nation's army ended its recovery effort yeasterday. The owners of the building and this factory have been arrested. And the government says it will improves conditions for Bangladesh workers, though some are calling that too little, too late.
Pressures on international, as well. Many companies in the US and Europe have closed manufactory in Bangladesh. They've been pushed to make sure conditions for workers are safe.
