Detroit Declares Bankruptcy, Seeks Path to Solvency Jul 19th 2013, 21:41, by webdesk@voanews.com (Kane Farabaugh) After years of population decline, a faltering auto industry and financial mismanagement by the city's government, Detroit has filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection in federal court. It's the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, with the city listing more than 100,000 creditors. Detroit's financial fate now rests in the hands of a bankruptcy judge as a local judge tries to block the move. As talks broke down with some of Detroit's major creditors, Michigan Governor ...

Voice of America: Journalists Prepare US Supreme Court Fight Against Indefinite Detention

Journalists Prepare US Supreme Court Fight Against Indefinite Detention Jul 19th 2013, 21:14, by webdesk@voanews.com (Kate Woodsome) A group of journalists and activists are preparing to challenge a U.S. court decision upholding the Obama administration's ability to indefinitely detain individuals. The ruling, plaintiffs say, deals a blow to civil liberties in the name of national security, and could even be used to detain U.S. citizens without due process.  An appeals court in New York this week ruled the plaintiffs do not have standing to challenge Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act. The U.S. Court ... Media files: A7B41FBA-3D7D-4C67-AB2A-270E9EA701E4_cx0_cy0_cw0_w800_r1.jpg (image/jpeg, 0 MB)

Legislators Imposing Limits on Abortion at US State Level Jul 19th 2013, 20:17, by webdesk@voanews.com (Greg Flakus) The governor of Texas signed into law Thursday tough new restrictions on abortion after the state legislature approved the measure that intensified passions on both sides of the issue. In state capital Austin, opponents of the law say their fight is not over, even as the battle over abortion has spread to 30 states during the past year. The Texas Capitol was besieged by emotional protest - those in blue pushing to restrict abortions and opponents of the restrictions wearing orange.  ...

North Korean Cargo Ship Seizure Under Scrutiny Jul 19th 2013, 21:18, by webdesk@voanews.com (Luis Ramirez) It was a bizarre discovery: Customs officials find containers loaded with Soviet-era weapon parts hidden under bags of sugar on a North Korean-flagged freighter trying to pass through the Panama Canal.   In a state television broadcast, Cuba announced it owns the parts, which Havana says include obsolete anti-aircraft missiles, radar and warplane components that were going to North Korea for repair.   But one big question remains. Why would Cuba bother sending seemingly useless ... Media files: AC47488F-7CA1-4ABB-A976-C6E53FE4AF27_cx0_cy0_cw0_w800_r1.jpg (image/jpeg, 0 MB)

Italy Says Ex-CIA Chief in Milan Arrested in Panama Jul 18th 2013, 23:25, by webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News) Italy says a former U.S. Central Intelligence Agency station chief in Milan, convicted in absentia for the 2003 kidnapping of an Egyptian terror suspect, has been detained in Panama.   The Italian Justice Ministry offered few details on the reported arrest of Robert Seldon Lady, who faces a nine-year prison term in Italy.

Texas Governor Signs Restrictive Abortion Law Jul 18th 2013, 23:31, by webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News) Texas Governor Rick Perry has signed new abortion restrictions that could shutter most of the clinics in the state.   The new law bans abortions after the fifth month of pregnancy and dictates when abortion-inducing drugs can be taken. But it also requires abortion clinic doctors to have hospital admitting privileges and restricts abortions to surgical centers. Only five of Texas' 42 abortion clinics currently meet the new requirements. The law will take effect in October and ...
