Senate votes to extend jobless benefits amid veto threats
The Senate approved by voice vote a plan to extend unemployment benefits for up to 33 extra weeks for those exhausted 26 weeks, despite President Bush's veto threat and a Republican alternative. The measure costs about 5.4 billion over six years, with automatic expiration tied to unemployment rates and a potential earlier end if joblessness falls.

Judge bars public release of Powell’s LAPD statements
A Los Angeles judge rules that Officer Laurence Powell’s initial sworn statements about the Rodney King beating will be kept secret as part of Police Department hearings. The closed sessions concern Powell’s anticipated retrial on the assault charge and follow the acquittals of three co defendants that sparked riots. The transcripts cannot be used in his criminal case. Powell’s father reports strong fundraising support for his defense, now estimated at $300,000.
