U.S. first lady Michelle Obama (R) delivers remarks before President Barack Obama signs legislation into law that will provide business tax credits to help put veterans back to work during a ceremony at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building November 21, 2011 in Washington, DC. The first element of the president's jobs package, the bill passed the House 422-0, six days after the Senate passed it 95-0. The jobless rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is 12.1 percent, White House officials said, compared with 9 percent for the population at large. The law would give businesses a tax credit of as much as $9,000 if they hired a disabled veteran who had been out of work for more than six months, a $5,600 credit for hiring any veteran unemployed for at least six months and $2,400 for hiring a veteran out of work for at least a month.

Egypt's first free elections for decades are about to enter a second day, with turnout so far described as "very high".
Logistical problems plagued many polling stations on Monday but the first day of voting passed mostly peacefully. Egyptians are voting to create the first democratically elected assembly in the country's history.
The queues formed early and quickly at polling stations across Egypt on Monday, as voters cast their ballots in the first parliamentary elections since the fall of former president Hosni Mubarak in February.
In the capital, Cairo, thousands of voters flocked to schools in the neighbourhoods of Zamalek, Nasr City and Maadi - among others - well before polling booths opened at 8am, to stake their place in line. MORE>
