► Protesters target Egypt president's home. Jan 26 - Opponents of Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi attempt an attack on his home and the Muslim Brotherhood's offices in Sharqiya. Rough cut (no reporter narration). (ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION) Protesters set fire to car tyres near Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi's house in his hometown of Sharqiya on Friday (January 25) as violence flared across the country. Anti-Mursi demonstrators also threw stones at the Muslim Brotherhood's headquarters in the town, during the second anniversary of the revolt that toppled Hosni Mubarak, taking to the streets against the elected Islamist president who they accuse of betraying the revolution. At least 91 civilians and 42 security personnel were hurt in violence across the country, officials said. Street battles erupted in Cairo, Alexandria, Suez and Port Said, and Ismailia where the Muslim Brotherhood's political party offices were torched. Thousands of opponents of Mursi and his Muslim Brotherhood allies massed in Cairo's Tahrir Square - the cradle of the uprising against Mubarak - to revive the demands of a revolution they say has been hijacked by the Islamists. The January 25 anniversary has highlighted the divide between the Islamists and their secular foes that is hindering Mursi's efforts to revive an economy in crisis and reverse a plunge in Egypt's currency by enticing back investors and tourists.

► Vietnam: Photographs from the frontline. In October 1966, in Vietnam, LIFE magazine's Larry Burrows made a photograph that, for generations, has served as the most indelible, searing illustration of the horrors inherent in that long, divisive war. All the more extraordinary, then, that LIFE did not even publish the picture until several years after Burrows got the shot. Forty years after the signing of the 1973 Paris Peace Accords that marked the beginning of the end of the war, LIFE.com presents the story behind that picture, along with many other photos that did not run in the magazine in 1966.

Let it be. Moreover, the U.S. should not be too often meddle in the internal affairs of other countries. Mind yourself, America! The problem with gun violence in your country is not resolved, (Note: The ownership of firearms freely in your country provides opportunities to everyone in your country to be a terrorist to others), so do not divert your energy to be orderly in your own country to other countries.

► Viewfinder - Over the Wheel. Published on Jan 25, 2013 :: In the past 20 years there has been an explosion of growth in Guadalajara and today it is Mexico's second-largest city. Between new textile industries moving in, technology companies opening offices and the draw of overall economic vitality, the population has skyrocketed. Current estimates suggest that more than four million people live there. And the estimated number of cars is nearly two million. It is considered to be one of the most densely populated cities in Latin America as well as one of the most polluted. Though heavy industry accounts for a significant part of the pollution, the majority comes from car and truck congestion. The city currently has a higher index of cars per inhabitant than Mexico City which has an estimated population of 20 million. According to official figures, the number of vehicles in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Zone has tripled from 509,566 vehicles in 1997 to 1,557,194 automobiles in 2009. It is estimated that 350 vehicles are added to city streets daily. (VIDEO)

► Talk to Al Jazeera - Hamza Mansour: 'The street is not calm'. Published on Jan 26, 2013 :: Jordanians went to the polls to vote a new parliament, but underneath the surface there is tension. Protests across Jordan have led the country into political unrest, and two years into the Arab Spring people are still calling for reform and democracy. The Islamic Action Front is led by Sheikh Hamza Mansour, a staunch critic of the election law. He says the new parliament will never represent the will of the people. And he is worried that unless the government does more to reach out to the opposition, the situation could get out of control. To examine Jordan's parliamentary future, Sheikh Hamza Mansour talks to Al Jazeera. (VIDEO)
► Listening Post - Mali's 'war without images'. Published on Jan 26, 2013 :: By now the images are familiar. Military airplanes from a rich industrial nation taking off to bomb an insurgency. Irregular fighters with AK-47s riding pickup trucks. Foreign journalists standing in front of the national monument telling you the latest. Turn on the news coverage of the Mali conflict and you would be forgiven for thinking you have seen all this before. But the responsibility of reporters is more than just being in the right place at the right time. There is no such thing as observation without interpretation and words like 'Islamist', 'atrocity' and -- especially -- 'terrorist' are easy to say but not so easy to define. When journalists slip into the standard narratives there is plenty that does not fit in the picture. (VIDEO)
