Week In The News: Protests Across The World

Budget battle from Washington to Wisconsin. A deadly attack on US agents in Mexico. Spreading protest in the Middle East. Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.

This week, protests keep rolling across the Middle East, in Libya, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and Bahrain — where the state cracked down hard. Here at home, the President unveiled a new budget plan, and got an earful from GOP leaders demanding bigger, deeper cuts.
