Hello and welcome back. Im Jim Tedder in Washington. Lets work together to improve your American English, and learn about important things at the same time. Today we hear from some Muslims in New York City, who say they are happy that an official spying program has ended.

　　Then we are off to Thailand, where two reporters have written something that has gotten them into deep trouble with the government.

　　As It Is ...from ...is on the air.

　　The New York City Police Department has canceled the work of a group that spied on Muslims in their religious centers and community gathering places.

　　The groups purpose was to gather intelligence on possible terrorist plans and plots. It was established in 2003. Michael Bloomberg then served as mayor of New York City.

　　The citys Muslims have long said that the police group violated their constitutional rights. They said the police were profiling them judging whole groups of people based on unfair descriptions of their religion, ethnicity and race.

　　Maimuna Abdul-Hakim is a member of Harlems Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood and the mother three children. Like most New York citizens, she believed that the attacks of September 11, 2001 on the U.S. demanded increased protection against terrorism.

　　But she was surprised to learn that the Demographics Unit of the New York Police Department were using her mosque to secretly gather information.
