Obama to address climate Tuesday

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said he’ll unveil a national plan to combat climate change in a speech Tuesday.

Obama said in an online video the White House released Saturday that he’ll lay out his vision for reducing carbon pollution, preparing the U.S. for the effects of climate change and leading other nations in the global effort.

“There’s no single step that can reverse the effects of climate change,” Obama said in the video. “But when it comes to the world we leave our children, we owe it to them to do what we can.”


Egypt to analyze election complaints

CAIRO – Egypt’s official news agency said an election commission will look into complaints by presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq alleging irregularities and forgery in last year’s vote, which he narrowly lost.

The Presidential Election Commission made its decision Saturday to reopen investigation into Egypt’s first freely contested presidential election, held last summer, in which Mohammed Morsi scraped in ahead of Shafiq. Shafiq, a Mubarak-era prime minister, is in self-exile in the United Arab Emirates.
