In our news wrap Tuesday, the House approved a short-term spending bill to prevent a government shutdown. The deal funds federal agencies through December 20th and is on track to be passed by the Senate. Also, Amnesty International says it has "credible reports" that more than 100 Iranians have been killed in a crackdown on protests over rising gas prices. An internet blackout remained in force.
