Tunisia Dissolves Government

Description:The government in Tunisia has announced it would dissolve itself and hold elections after a day of violent demonstrations. The protests earlier in the day were prompted by the shooting death of Chokri Belaid, a left-wing lawyer who spoke out against the Islamist ruling party. Thousands of demonstrators poured into the streets of the capital- throwing rocks at police, who fired back with tear gas. (0:55)
