    Revelations of NSA spying threw a scare into Internet users. Now the White House is proposing to regulate use of the same technology by retailers, employment agencies and financial companies. We hear from privacy advocates and from Silicon Valley, which warns against limiting the fastest growing sector of the economy. Also, President Obama lays out climate risks for the US, and kidnappers in Nigeria say more than 200 girls will be sold into slavery as eight more were seized from a village today. The United Nations has warned Boko Harum about crimes against humanity.
