Many Yemenis say they do not believe the situation there will get to the point it has reached in @placeholder or Tunisia, but they also expressed concerns about unemployment and their future.
(CNN) -- Protests in Egypt have dominated international headlines of late, but signs of unrest are prevalent in several countries throughout the Middle East and Africa. Emboldened by an uprising in Tunisia, which saw the nation's president of almost a quarter century flee to Saudi Arabia, protesters have staged similar demonstrations from Lebanon to Yemen to Algeria. Here are the latest developments across the region: Egypt Protesting lawyers toppled barricades at Cairo's Abdeen Palace, and petroleum, railway and telecommunications employees called strikes to stand in solidarity with the protesters. Thursday marked Day 17 of the protests. Despite promises of reforms and constitutional amendments to allow for free elections, demonstrators were angered by President Hosni Mubarak's refusal to immediately step down. Protests were further fanned when Egypt's Vice President Omar Suleiman said Egypt is not ready for democracy. @highlight Jordan's king swears in a new government, including opposition members, newspaper editor @highlight Analyst says Syria could be immune to protests because it is a pariah state @highlight In Lebanon, Hezbollah's leader says Arab unrest stems from ties to U.S., Israel @highlight Protests prompt Algerian government to tackle food taxes, youth unemployment

Stiehm has penned some of the series most acclaimed and talked about episodes, including season one's "The Weekend," where Brody (Damian Lewis) and Carrie go to her cabin in the woods, and season two's "New Car Smell," in which Carrie finally arrests Brody. "I didn't come in until like episode 4," says Stiehm. "[Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa] created the character and the show. Around episode 4, they realized that there were all male writers and they had a female lead so they wanted a female writer." Adds Danes, "She's really incredible.

(CNN) -- Calls by Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary Hillary Clinton to "unite the world in the isolation of and dealing with the Iranians," in response to an alleged Iranian plot to kill Saudi Arabia's Ambassador in Washington, reflect a hubristic misapprehension of reality.

The U.S. foreign policy community profoundly misunderstands the Islamic Republic's national security strategy.

Apple is yet to issue an official response to @placeholder, but it has published a support document on its website outlining the security features of Touch ID.
Senator Al Franken has sent a letter to Apple’s chief executive highlighting ‘substantial’ security concerns about fingerprint recognition technology on its iPhone 5S. The iPhone 5S, which went on sale today, includes a fingerprint sensor that lets users touch the phone's home button with their finger to unlock it, rather than enter a passcode. Apple claims its scanner, known as Touch ID, is ‘one of the best passwords in the world.’ But Senator Franken said that while a password can be kept a secret and changed if it's hacked, fingerprints are permanent and left on everything a person touches.
