AZUZ: Mubarak was forced out of power during a political revolution. It was a historic event, and the news coverage of it included video from cnn iReporters, people who were there capturing the news as it happened.

Here`s a look back at some of the significant moments from this past year, from what you could say was a first-hand view of history in the making.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So excited. I`m so proud to be an Arab today, for the people of Egypt who wanted (inaudible).

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh, my God. Holy crap. Oh, my God, the building`s going to fall.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The whole ground was shaking so much, it was -- it was unreal.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It was something that you would not wish upon your worst enemy.

JASON SAUTER, IREPORTER: And we`re currently being escorted by the local authorities here, down to the media area, so we can get as close to Buckingham Palace as possible.

GROUP: Congratulations, William and Catherine.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We`re here right now (ph). We`re fighting for jobs. We`re fighting for freedom (ph).

GROUP: (Speaking foreign language).

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (Speaking foreign language).

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And it`s over. The tyrant is gone.

AZUZ: And finally today, Spain has the running of the bulls.

AZUZ (voice-over): Scotland has the running of the Santas. Not quite as dangerous, a whole lot more festive. This is the annual Edinburgh Santa Run, around a thousand jolly old and young elves took part in the event and helped raise money for charity.

Male Santas, female Santas, Santas young and old. Anyone can come out for the run, though we assume that when you sign up, you`re required to dress as Old St. Nick.

AZUZ: It`s probably right there in the contract: the Santa Clause. We know these puns "sleigh" some of you. Others of you are seeing red over them. Maybe we should just set them to music or chimes, like a jingle -- bells. Felt like we started at the top there and then just way our way down the chimney. For cnn Student News, I`m Carl Azuz.
