 We're gonna start things off today in Egypt. The country is going through some problems, some political unrest right now. People are angry with Egypt's President and they are protesting against him. That sounds familiar, it should. Nearly two years ago, Egypt was part of what some called the Arab Spring, the series of uprisings across the Middle East and northern Africa. That led to Egypt's longtime leader being forced out of power. Egypt held its first free elections after that, Mohamed Morsi was elected President. We reported on Monday that Morsi announced that any decisions he makes can't be reviewed or overturned1. He says he is trying to protect Egypt as it builds its government. The protesters say President Morsi is grabbing2 up power and like a dictator3. Some of those protests have turned violent. Hundreds of people have injured, at least one person was killed.

 
We're gonna harp4 across the Atlantic and head to Washington D.C.,specifically to the White House for a meeting between the President and a President elect. Enrique Peña Nieto was elected Mexico's President back in July. Now he is officially going to become President to take office on Saturday. Yesterday he was in Washington D.C. for meeting with U.S. President Obama. Immigration, security and the drug war in Mexico have been some of the biggest issues for these two countries recently. They are expected to come up in yesterday's meeting too. But President elect Peña Nieto said he wants the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico to go beyond that. He said one of its biggest goals is to strength the economic ties between the neighboring nations. U.S. is Mexico's biggest trading partner sharing billions of dollars of imports and exports. 
 
Along the action now our next story is happened in the U.S. capital. That remembers of Congress are considering the fiscal5 cliff and how to avoid going over it. Now really what this comes down too is debt. The U.S. government has trillions of dollars worth. It's gonna find ways to reduce that debt and that's where the fiscal cliff comes in. Now some of the actual cliff is an economic one and it involves two main things. One, how the government takes in money through taxes and two, how it spends money. If the country goes over this fiscal cliff, taxes will go up for every one. Plus government spending cuts would automatically6 going to affect, that would affect the military, national parks and other government services. If Congress and the President can agree on ways to cut government debt, then the country won't go over the cliff. They have been working on that for a while. Both sides have presented ideas. There is even a special super committee in Congress that try to come up ways to reduce the debt. So far, though, no deal. And the deadline now is January first. If a deal is not reach by then, that's when the U.S. would go over this fiscal cliff.
