（单词翻译）

 First up today, we're talking about violence in Afghanistan. Suicide bombings, three of them, all of them targeting a U.S-Afghan base in the eastern part of the country. Officials say at least 3 Afghan soldiers and 2 civilians1 were killed. The Taliban, the militant2 group that used to control most of Afghanistan says it's responsible for these attacks. They happened early Sunday morning before sunrise. Afghan authorities say all nine of the attackers were killed either in the bombings or in the firefight with U.S and Afghan troops that happened afterward3. This isn't the first time that the base has been targeted by suicide bombings. It's located in a region that's home to a lot of insurgent4 activity.

 
Next up today, we're looking at the political unrest in Egypt. An Elected Assembly has drafted a new constitution, but only after more moderate members of that Assembly left, complaining they weren't being hurt. On Saturday the Assembly turned over the draft to president Mohammed Morsi, and that's him on the right. He said there will be a referendum, a vote on December 15th. After that announcement, protests broke out. Some from people who support president Morsi, some from people who think he is trying to give himself too much power. Egypt's Supreme5 Court was planning to review the consitution, but some of Morsi's supporters gathered outside the court building. The court canceled its sessions indefinitely, it says judges won't go back to work until they can do their jobs without, quote, "any psychological or physical pressures".
 
Just the facts, Parkinson's disease is a disorder6 of the human nerve system. Unintensional shaking maybe the most well-known sign of Parkinson's, but it can also cause stiffness or slower movements. It can affect someone's balance or speech. Doctors don't what causes Parkinson's disease and there is no cure forwards. But medications can help improve its symptoms.
 
All right, so we don't know what caused Parkinson's, we do know about 4 million worldwide have it, and tens of thousands of new cases are diagnosed everyear. Now there is man who says he's found a new way to make that diagnosis7. Normally when something is wrong, you go to with a doctor, in this case, you might even not have to be in the room. Dr.Sanjay Gupta explains what we mean.
