Yemen is a country of about 26 million people on the southwestern tip of the @placeholder.
|
(CNN)Political unrest has plagued Yemen for years, and the entire Mideast has been in turmoil for decades, particularly since 2011's Arab Spring uprising. But on Tuesday, the situation in Yemen apparently became much more dire, as the country's minister of information said Shiite Houthi rebels had taken over the nation's presidential palace. Amid reports of renewed fighting in Yemen, Nadia Sakkaf told CNN that the residence of Yemen's Prime Minister was under attack. Sakkaf called the situation "the completion of a coup," adding that President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi "has no control." Yemen, the poorest country in the region, is home to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, which most recently claimed responsibility for the massacre of journalists at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris. It's one of the world's biggest exporters of terrorism.

(CNN)Not many streets have been home to a Nobel Laureate -- and even fewer have been home to two. Yet, Vilakazi Street in the heart of bustling Soweto has been exactly that, housing both South African leaders Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela. And this claim to fame is paying dividends for current residents -- helping transform the area into a thriving business community. Here, visitors from all over the world walk past traditional dancers, hawkers and waiting taxis to visit the building that was Mandela's home when he walked free from prison on Robben Island in 1990.

A British jihadist fighting for ISIS in the Middle East has revealed he hopes to be given the opportunity to murder a Western hostage 'as a brother did with James Foley'. Speaking via video link from an unknown location likely to be somewhere in northern Syria, a man calling himself Abu Anwar Al-Brittani told CNN that he would be 'honoured' to become an executioner for ISIS, adding that he considered Foley's murder a 'blessed act'. Foley - an American photojournalist captured in Syria in 2012 - was filmed being beheaded by an Islamist militant with a southern English accent in a sickening video released last week.

Washington (CNN) -- Thursday, December 13, may have been one of the luckiest days of Susan Rice's life. It may not feel that way now since she had to set aside for the moment her longtime dream of becoming secretary of state. But it is one thing to be secretary of state in theory and it will be quite another to be America's top diplomat during the next several years. Rice, it must be said, was cheated out of a job for which she was well-qualified by a broken political system in Washington. She became a pawn in the campaign battle between the president she has ably served at the U.N. for the past four years and Republicans who sought to make her a scapegoat for the tragic mess that took place in Benghazi on September 11.

Washington (CNN) -- If nothing else, the latest ISIS act of barbarism brought a quick political consensus, and added pressure on President Barack Obama: Caution in the face of repugnant horror just won't do. The president responded Wednesday in his first public remarks since the beheading of journalist Steven Sotloff. He promised results while pleading for time to deal with Islamic terrorists in Iraq and Syria. "Our objective is clear: That is to degrade and destroy ISIL so it's no longer a threat," Obama said during a news conference in his trip to Estonia. "It's going to take some time, it's going to take some effort," he said.

Sid Caesar, whose clever, anarchic comedy on such programs as "Your Show of Shows" and "Caesar's Hour" helped define the 1950s "Golden Age of Television," has died. He was 91. A friend of the family, actor Rudy De Luca, did not know the exact cause of death, but said Caesar had respiratory problems and other health problems for several years. Caesar became famous for "Your Show of Shows," which went on the air in 1950. It lasted four years and was followed by "Caesar's Hour," which combined sketches, musical revues and situation comedy. Both shows featured writers who became famous in their own right, including Neil Simon, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Mel Tolkin, Lucille Kallen and Larry Gelbart. Woody Allen also contributed to Caesar's comedy as a writer for one of his specials.

(CNN) -- Republicans and Democrats raised serious concerns more than two years ago with the Obama administration about the possibility of swapping Taliban prisoners for captured Army Sgt.

(CNN) -- It is always risky to make predictions about the Supreme Court's decisions based on what is or is not said by lawyers and justices at oral argument. It is also almost impossible to resist the temptation to hunt through the transcripts for clues and tea leaves. On Wednesday, the justices heard arguments in a case called Town of Greece v. Galloway, which involves a challenge to a small New York town's practice of opening its board meetings with short prayers, delivered by volunteers. A lower federal court ruled last year that the town of Greece's prayers -- but not necessarily all legislative prayers -- violate the First Amendment's rule against "establishments" of religion.

He said the step was taken to defend U.S. personnel in the city of Irbil and protect religious minorities facing what he called a "potential act of genocide" from the Islamic State, the extremist group most recently known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The escalation marks a turning point in the Obama administration's foreign policy, which has avoided direct military involvement in Iraq and Syria until now.

Roberto Martinez went on the defensive, which is more than could be said for his team on Tuesday night. Or this season, for that matter. That’s 17 goals shipped in this convoluted calendar of Europa League and domestic football. And a first defeat to Swansea in 21 fixtures, the product of a game skewed almost entirely in favour of the side Martinez used to manage. Not that he was in the mood to enter into a conversation about numbers. ‘Last year was the club’s record points tally in the Premier League so we can share statistics all you want,’ he said. The look on his face suggested it wasn’t a sincere invitation.

Washington (CNN) -- Embattled New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie forcefully stood by his account that he only found out about notorious traffic lane closures at the George Washington Bridge last year after they appeared in the media and that he knew absolutely nothing about a suggested political motive behind them. "The answer is still the same," Christie said in a radio interview on Monday night, adding later that he can't wait to get the "full story" behind the scandal that has rocked his administration and, for now, has clouded any potential presidential run in 2016. "The fact of the matter is I've been very clear about this. Before these lanes were closed, I knew nothing about them. I didn't plan it. I didn't authorize it. I didn't approve it. I knew nothing about it," he said in a studio appearance for a live call-in show hosted by New Jersey 101.5.

(CNN) -- Over the last two years, AMC's "The Walking Dead" has become one of the most popular dramatic series on television due in large part to complex story lines involving morality, survival and human relationships in a post-apocalyptic world. It's also popular because of the fantastic-looking zombies that terrorize the characters each week, thrusting the decision-making process into a very primal, fight-or-flight mentality. Longtime special effects guru/director Greg Nicotero is the man behind the zombies and has worked on the series since Day One, where he's now a co-executive producer. He got his start in the horror business in the mid-'80s on George Romero's "Day of the Dead" and has since branched out into many other film genres.

PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos held meetings with the leader of the Democratic Left party, Fotis Kouvelis, in what Venizelos called a "first step" toward assembling a coalition of pro-European parties. He is scheduled to hold talks with head of the center-right New Democracy party, Antonis Samaras, on Friday. Samaras and another potential coalition partner -- Alexis Tsipras of the leftist Syriza party -- have tried and failed to organize a government already. If no one can pull together a coalition, and no national unity government can be formed by May 17, Greece must call new elections.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- U.S. airstrikes aimed at al Qaeda leaders in Pakistan have been "very effective," with few civilian deaths as a result, CIA Director Leon Panetta said Monday in a rare public acknowledgment of the raids. CIA Director Leon Panetta speaks about the fight against al Qaeda at the Pacific Council on International Policy. Asked about criticism of the missile attacks by counterinsurgency experts, Panetta said he did not want to discuss specifics, "but I can assure you that in terms of that particular area, it is very precise and is very limited in terms of collateral damage."

In his address to Parliament on March 18 announcing the annexation, Putin said that by this Khrushchev action Russia was not "simply robbed, it was plundered."

(CNN) -- Carnival Cruise Lines will fly all passengers on one of its cruises back to Florida after the ship suffered a generator failure while docked in the Caribbean. The experience on the Carnival Dream became something of a nightmare for some passengers Wednesday when power went off, some toilets stopped working, and no one was allowed to get off the vessel even though the ship was docked at Philipsburg, St. Maarten, in the eastern Caribbean. Although power had been restored and facilities were functioning again, the ship still couldn't leave port. Cruise passengers received a letter from the captain, according to a passenger who e-mailed a photo of the correspondence to CNN.

By Emily Allen PUBLISHED: 12:10 EST, 30 October 2012 | UPDATED: 19:13 EST, 30 October 2012 A senior columnist at the New York Times has openly questioned whether former BBC boss Mark Thompson is fit for his new post running America’s most prestigious newspaper in the wake of the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal. Mr Thompson has denied knowledge of a BBC cover-up and vowed to take up his role in New York as planned next month. But in a column, Joe Nocera questioned his explanation of his role in the affair: ‘Thompson winds up appearing wilfully ignorant, and it makes you wonder what kind of an organisation the BBC was when he was running it. It also makes you wonder what kind of chief executive he’d be at the Times.’

(EW.com) -- If trends come in cycles, maybe it's time to bring Miranda Priestly, Andrea Sachs, and the "clackers" at Runway magazine out of the fashion closet. EW has learned exclusively that author Lauren Weisberger is working on "Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns," a sequel to her debut novel "The Devil Wears Prada." Simon & Schuster will be publishing the follow-up in April 2013 -- 10 years after the release of the original. In 2003, "The Devil Wears Prada" reached the top of the best-seller lists and went on to inspire the hit 2006 film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. The novel -- a roman à clef partly based on Weisberger's own experience as second assistant to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour -- told the story of Andrea "Andy" Sachs, an aspiring journalist dealing with the increasingly unreasonable demands of her fashion editrix boss Miranda Priestly.

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama is calling for the immediate release of three American hikers seized by Iranian forces along the Iraqi border who will have been in custody for exactly a year on Saturday. "Their unjust detention has nothing to do with the issues that continue to divide the United States and the international community from the Iranian government," Obama said in a statement Friday. "This is a humanitarian imperative, as these three young people are innocent of any crime." The three Americans -- Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer, and Josh Fattal -- were detained after they allegedly strayed across an unmarked border while hiking in Iraq's Kurdistan region. The Nation magazine reported last month that two witnesses have said they saw members of Iran's national police force cross into Iraq to apprehend the three.

Disgraced former NRL player Todd Carney says he is ready to deal with his drinking problems, but still feels resentful after his dismissal from the Cronulla Sharks. The controversial footballer made a shameful exit from NRL in June, when the famous 'bubbler' scandal was the last nail in the coffin for the 28-year-old's career in Australia. Carney says he is bitter about his dismissal and is adamant he will never return to NRL, declaring his new French club, Catalans Dragons, will be his last. 'I've signed a three-year deal and I'd like to finish my career here and go on longer, after the three years,' Carney said during his first conference with French media.

Today, 97 percent of @placeholder residents have health insurance, the highest in the country.

Editor's note: Kevin Pho, a primary care physician in Nashua, N.H., blogs at KevinMD.com Dr. Kevin Pho says health reform can't succeed as long as there's a shortage of primary care doctors. (CNN) -- When President Obama recently cited the number of Americans without health insurance, he declared that, "We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women, and children." Uninsured patients often delay preventive care, waiting to seek medical attention only when their conditions worsen. This leads to more intensive treatment, often in the emergency department or hospital where costs run the highest. Universal health coverage is therefore a sensible goal, and the reforms being considered all make considerable effort to provide everyone with affordable health care.

With its blend of old and modern architecture, Castle Keep really is a tale of two centuries. It started out at the end of the 18th Century as a folly designed by architect James Wyatt, but was given a new lease of life 30 years ago by Italian artist and property developer Michele Bacciottini, who built its large extension. The result is a unique property that is part castle, part modern eco-home. Along with its tower and ‘living wall’, it also has a roof garden and a secret door leading to a spiral staircase. Graham Porter, 44, who lives in the unique home with his girlfriend Rebecca, 43, bought it for £990,000 in May 2012 after only one viewing.

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- The death toll from the suicide bombing in Pakistan's financial capital, Karachi, rose to 40, authorities said Tuesday. The blast on Monday targeted a Shiite procession on M.A. Jinnah Road. The victims were among thousands of devotees commemorating Ashura, a major religious observance for the Shiites, one of two main Muslim denominations. Ashura marks the death anniversary of Imam Hussein, grandson of Prophet Mohammed. Hussein, who was killed in battle in Karbala in 680 A.D., is regarded as a martyr -- and the battle is one of the events that helped create the schism between Sunnis and Shiites, the two main Muslim religious movements.

Doctors have also tested others who have come into contact with the patient. So far no one else has been diagnosed with the virus. Medical staff will continue to monitor the situation closely. The patient, whose name has not been disclosed due to federal privacy standards, was working at a hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
