Ennahda Supporters March Through Tunis

Around six thousand supporters of Ennahda marched through Tunis, on Saturday.

Ennahda is the leading Islamist party, in Tunisia, and is basically ruling the country.

They marched to counter Friday's mass rallies held by opposition supporters.

Those rallies numbered in the thousands, except for in Tunis, where fifty thousand marched at a funeral for an assassinated opposition leader.

Saturday's rallies made the support for the ruling faction seem quite little, in comparison.


Numbers not withstanding, the country is quite politically divided.

Prime Minister Hamdi Jebali is threatening to replace the government, if terms can not be agreed upon to see things united again.

14 Killed in Bangladesh Ferry Sinking

Fourteen people were killed when a ferry crashed into a barge, in Bangladesh, on Saturday.

The collision happened along the Meghna River.

Five more people were missing.

The ferry had been carrying fifty people.

It was the second deadly accident in two days.

Egypt Blocks Youtube, Considers Facebook and Twitter

Cairo's administrative court decided that Youtube will be blocked in Egypt, for a minimum of one month.

The judge also ruled that Facebook and Twitter could be on the list, if they fail to meet requirements as well.

This all dates back to September when a video deemed an insult to Islam, was blamed for riots in several Muslim countries.

Judge Hassouna Tawfiq's ruling was that any site, which showed the video, and refused to ban it, could be blocked by the country.

However, the ruling could be met with a great outcry as the political opposition utilize social media.

They could see any attack upon the internet as an attempt to block them from communicating.

Effectiveness could be another issue, as previous attempts to block sites have not been fully successful.

Nemo Kills 7 as 40 Inches of Snow Fall

Nemo froze the north with deadly results.

The massive blizzard left up to forty inches of snow over New England and eastern Canada, by Saturday afternoon, with some areas expecting more.

In some areas, the snow kept plows from getting through, as it was just too much for them to handle.

Seven people were killed between Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, and Ontario.

Massachusetts was forced to evacuate the Salisbury Beach area, due to rising tides.

About a million homes and businesses lost power, over Friday night.

Thousands of flights were cancelled over Friday night and on into Saturday.

Curiosity Spots a Shiny "Arm"

Curiosity Rover has once again spotted an unusual thing.

In pictures, taken by the rover, a shiny object is poking out of the rock.

Some have taken to describing it as a metal arm.

Whatever it is, it's poking about half a centimeter out of rock, just big enough to case a shadow.

It also seems to be of a different kind of material than the surrounding area.

NASA does not know what it is, nor do they seem interested in checking it out, immediately.

So for now it will remain but one more mystery.

Top Gun Out in 3D

Starting Friday you can feel the need for speed, at IMAX theaters.

From February 8-13 Top Gun will be back in theaters.

But to add to it, it's in 3D.

Yes, Top Gun is the latest movie to be re-released specifically for a 3D experience.

As one of the biggest, most iconic movies of the 80s it is perhaps the most deserving.

Those flight scenes could be quite spectacular in 3D.

Bangladeshi Ferry Carrying 100 Sinks

A ferry in Bangladesh sunk, with over one hundred people on board.

The MV Sarosh collided with a barge on the River Meghna, south of Dhaka, on Friday.

About twenty-five people swam to safety and another forty were rescued.

Searchers believe that as many as fifty people are still missing.

Divers have been called in to find the ship, and her victims.

New England Braces For Blizzard

New England is bracing as the snow begins to fall.

Forecasters are calling for up to three feet of snow, throughout most of the region.

With wind gusts expected to be hitting around seventy-five miles per hour, this could definitely be a blizzard.

Some weathermen called for it to be one of the top ten worst storms, ever.

Governor Cuomo, of New York, declared a state of emergency, in preparation for the storm.

Many towns and districts closed schools, on Friday, just in case.

Power outages were already occurring by Friday afternoon.

Thousands of flights have been canceled, mostly from Friday night through mid Saturday, as a precaution.

Amtrak is shutting down service, starting Friday afternoon, to avoid any issues for them.

Palestinians Arrest Hamas Members For Having Explosives

Over the last two days, Palestinian security forces have made several raids, in Ramallah.

In those raids they have arrested at least twenty-five people.

According to security forces, they were all members of Hamas, and in possession of explosives and weapons.

A spokesman for Hamas said that no explosives or weapons were among those arrested.

It's a marked change for Palestinian security forces, who normally do not mess with Hamas, and often follow their orders.

Mali's Troubles Highlighted by Mutinee of Elite Troops

Malian red berets on a better day

Mali's elite "red berets" mutinied, on Friday, in protest over being ordered to the front.

They fired their weapons for several hours, refusing to leave the capital.

Eventually things calmed down when the orders were cancelled.

However, their actions do much to highlight but one of the problems facing the country.

Not only are internal divisions stronger than ever, but they threaten to turn things to civil war.

The country also faces the threats of insurgency, as shown by a suicide attack which struck a military outpost near Gao.

France's intervention has removed the likelihood of Mali being overrun by Al Qaeda, but threats are still there.
