在选举中，经济仍然居于首要地位。共和党总统候选人，议员约翰麦肯锡在全国小企业高峰会前的一次演讲中提出他的议案。他希望通过行政减税来扩大政府减税政策，使其难以提高赋税。麦肯锡提出了一系列的为企业家和公司减税的建议。他认为这将产生更多工作岗位。

总统布什开始了他做为总统进行的欧洲访问的第一站。现在他正在斯洛文尼亚参加一年一度的美国欧洲联盟峰会。各国领导人将一起发出对伊朗的声明，及如果伊朗政府拒绝放弃其核计划，他将面对更多的制裁。当然领导人们也将讨论持续上涨的油价以及阿富汗问题。

说到石油，石油公司巨头将面临一个新的暴利税。参议院今天将举行投票。民主党议员倾向于向美国前五大石油公司征税。他们希望拿到减税所失去的一百七十亿美元。共和党人则反对这一提议。

New York state officials have forged an agreement with Verizon, Sprint and Time Warner Cable to block access to child pornography found and created on tens of thousands of newsgroups and user groups.

New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo says that in the past, user groups on the Internet have been hard to police: there are so many of them and because of privacy concerns. He says all three companies have agreed to eliminate child porn from their servers. The companies will also pay more than a million dollars to help fund efforts to remove child porn from the net. There's been a continuing undercover investigation of child porn newsgroups which will continue. Last year, Cuomo announced an agreement with FaceBook and MySpace to crack down on sexual predators. Combined, Verizon and Time Warner provide Internet service to about 16 million subscribers. Sprint is one of the nation's largest wireless companies. None of these companies are accused of wrongdoing only acting as a portal, and all said they'd taken steps to shut down the newsgroups when concerns were reported.

The British government has narrowly won a vote on a bill to extend from four to six weeks -- the maximum period a terrorism suspect can be held without charge. The measure passed by nine votes. Thirty-six members of the governing Labor Party voted against. The issue had been seen as a test of the authority of the Prime Minister Gordon Brown. He told MPs that complexity and scale of al-Qaeda-inspired plots meant that sooner or later, police were bound to need more time to detain suspects.

"Taking into account the advice of the police and security services, but also looking at the weight, complexity and sophistication of evidence that has got to be examined, it seems to me that in a moment of calm, we should put in place this legislation, and I do not want in a moment of panic for people to have to come to the house and bring in emergency legislation."
