Some weeks now the big news has been the situation in Egypt. Suprisingly it still is.
On friday after 18 days of mass protests, Egypt's parliament was ousted. We also get to know that earlier president Mubarak had gain a fortune of 400 billions NOK, and most of it came from corruption.

Picture of the man that have laid an iron hand over Egypt in many years, now he is kicked out of the country.

News week 5

This week has specially problems in Egypt been in focus. It gets worse and worse down there. This news can be found both on foreign websites as bbc and cnn, but also here in Norway. There are demonstrations against the government there, and they will not stop until the leader "gives up", although it still doesn't seems like he's going to do it. It has also been established violent gangs, the police don't do anything, and therefore ordinary people have guns and they have to be on guard. Now the Norwegian people aren't allowed going to Egypt. And most of the Norwegian people in Egypt, are returning to Norway.

From bbc:

"EGYPT UNREST: At least eight people killed and 890 injured in Cairo clashes, say Egyptian health officials."

News week 4 by Sigbjørn and Kristian

Last week there was a lot of protests going on in Tunisia, which spread to Egypt, and have been one of the top news this week. It is said that the government did not keep their promises, and because of this the protests started in the streets. The government in Tunisia did answer the protestants call, but in Egypt, this has not yet happened.

On Tuesday this week, four demonstrators were killed in Cairo. The demonstrators want a departure of the interior minister, they want a rise in the minimum wage and an end to the restrictive emergency law. The main organising force is the youth people, and they have said to not stop until the demands of the Egyptian people have been met.

The most important news this week is the suicide bomb in Moscow. Monday a suicide bomb detonated in an airport outside of Moscow. 35 people were killed and more than 150 wounded. No one has yet takes responsibility of the terror attack. We can not even be sure of if it was a man or a woman who committed suicide.
Our sources are BBC, CNN and Al-Jazeera.

Al-Jaseera have chosen to focus on the security breaches while BBC Have written about the people who died in the attack, and who they left behind. For example Vadim Izmailov, a taxi driver, who left behind two sons, aged 9 and 19. BBC have also a case about that The Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, has sacked several officials after blaming the airport bombing on poor security.
CNN has written that “Russia won't fall 'to it's knees'”. President Dmitry Medvedev said Wednesday that those behind the deadly blast at Moscow's busiest airport were hoping, in part, to prevent him from attending the World Economic Forum. Medvedev rejects this and says that Russia will comply its responsibility to the citizens and to the world community.
