 The U.S. says it has nothing to do with Britain's decision to detain a partner of American journalist Glenn Greenwald who broke the NSA surveillance story with materials leaked by Edward Snowden.  Britain's independent monitor of terrorism legislation, David Anderson, says David Miranda's nine-hour long detention1 at Heathrow Airport yesterday raises a number of questions.  

"I'm very interested in what happened yesterday. I've asked the police and the home office to be fully2 briefed on it. We have something like 200 million passing through our ports and airports every year in the UK, sixty-thousand of those were examined under Schedule Seven last year and of those, fewer than 40 were even held for as long as six hours. So to be held for nine hours, which was the maximum the law allows, is very unusual indeed." 
David Anderson in an interview with the BBC. 
Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is due to be sentenced this week for the death of 16 Afghan civilians3. NPR's Martin Kaste reports.  
Bales will not get the death penalty. His June guilty plea was part of a deal to avoid execution. So now in a court-martial at Joint4 Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, a military jury will decide whether his life sentence should come with the possibility of parole. His defense5 team is likely to cite extenuating6 circumstances, such as the stress of being on his fourth deployment7 and the effects of alcohol. There has been speculation8 that his behavior may have been affected9 by Lariam- that's an anti-malarial drug that sometimes causes strain psychological reactions. But / last week, Bales' lawyer said that defense was looking less likely. Martin Kaste, NPR News, Seattle.  
The military judge presiding over the trial of accused Fort Hood10 shooter is blocking several key pieces of evidence. Prosecutors11 say but explain Major Nidal Hasan’s state of mind. Hasan who is acting12 his own attorney has remained largely silent during the first two weeks of his trial. Hasan’s accused of killing13 13 people and wounding more than 30 in the 2009 attack days before he was to be deployed14 to Afghanistan.  
Illinois now requires gun owners to report a loss of stolen gun within 72 hours under a new law. Amanda Vinicky in / WUIS has details from Springfield. Illinois now requires gun owners to report a loss of stolen gun within 72 hours. State police director Hiram Grau says just as someone would immediately call 911 if their car was stolen. They should do the same if a gun goes missing.  
"As police officers, we see horrible violence in our communities almost every day. It's crazy, it's insane and it has to stop." 
The law also expends15 background checks starting in January provided in the online sellers are required to make sure a buyer can legally own a gun. For NPR News, I'm Amanda Vinicky in Springfield, Illinois.

While Egypt falls deeper into its worst political unrest since the 2011 revolution, the leader who was ousted16 in that uprising and subsequently arrested could soon be a free man. Judicial17 officials say former President Hosni Mubarak may be released from custody18 this week. They say they no longer have grounds to continue detaining the 85-year-old. Mubarak was detained in April 2011. A month later he was sentenced to life in prison for allowing a crackdown on political descend19 that led to the death of hundreds of protestors. Mubarak pealed20 and he's being retried.  
Jury selection began today for the first trial related to Atlanta School cheating scandal. NPR's Kathy Lohr reports nearly three / teachers and administrators21 were indicted22 this year for allegedly conspiring23 to change test scores in the district schools. Prosecutors say teachers and administrators and the former Superintendent24 conspired25 to change scores on statewide test, so students appeared to be doing better. Teachers are accused of holding parties where they erased26 incorrect answers and replace them with correct ones. The governor broaden the Bureau investigation27 to question teachers and administrators. Prosecutors say former regional Superintendent Tamara Cotman, the first to face trial, told principles to ignore the GBI. Cotman is accused of swaddling the investigation and retaliating28 against those who didn't agree with her. Cotman has pleaded not guilty and her attorney says the prosecution29 got it completely wrong. Kathy Lohr NPR News, Atlanta.
