Excerpt:

YEREVAN, Armenia A passenger has given birth aboard a plane flying to Armenia and named her daughter after one of the flight attendants who helped with the delivery. The birth of the healthy baby occurred Saturday, two hours before the Armavia airline flight landed in Yerevan, Armenia's capital, after a long flight from Siberia. Flight attendant Asmik Gevondyan said she noticed that 31-year-old passenger Armina Babayan appeared to be in labor and organized the delivery. "All of our crew helped to deliver the baby," Gevondyan told The Associated Press. Babayan, who had claimed to be 6-and-a-half-months pregnant during check-in, named her first child Asmik, local television reported.

Morsy hails a 'new era' for Egypt

Excerpt:

(CNN) -- Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy declared a "new era" for the country Saturday, saying the new constitution guarantees equality under the law and puts power in the hands of lawmakers, not the president. He spoke three days after signing the controversial constitution into law. Despite criticism of the document, more than 63% of Egyptian voters approved it after two rounds of voting. "There is no more tyranny, discrimination or absence of social justice," Morsy said in a speech before members of the upper house of parliament, heads of the country's political parties, dignitaries of Egyptian society and diplomats. "All citizens -- no matter which class they come from, or what they believe in, or what political position they have -- they are all equal before the law and under this constitution. Egypt cannot be built by some of its citizens while others are left behind.

After months of campaigning and billions of dollars spent, Election Day has arrived. Many investors are hoping that the result will be clear enough to avoid a re-run of 2000 when the result was only known weeks later after a Supreme Court decision. "That is a situation global markets fear most," said Cameron Peacock, market analyst at IG.

Analysis: Kerry would bring experience to State Department

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama by acaben
License (according to Flickr): Attribution-ShareAlike License

Excerpt:

Washington (CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry, who sources say has been tapped by President Barack Obama to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, will come to the post with a full plate of foreign policy crises, from the civil war in Syria, to the nuclear antics of North Korea, to a looming showdown with Iran over its nuclear program. Anybody who follows Clinton would have some pretty big shoes to fill. Clinton was not just the most popular member of the president's Cabinet for the past four years, she had celebrity status and respect almost everywhere she went around the world. But as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for almost 30 years, the past four as chairman, Kerry himself is a highly respected figure on the world stage.
