    Default "There's trouble ahead"

    An update within a broader regional article and what happens when the price of bread goes up? No, not rejoicing, often it is public protest:
    Jordan has economic troubles of its own that more than match Russia's. A decrease in financial support from Gulf states means the authorities are facing a $700 million budget deficit, and have taken the deeply unpopular route of raising taxes on basic foodstuffs, including bread, by 50-100%.
