The 2012 World Press Photo of the year, by Samuel Aranda of Spain, shows a woman holding a wounded relative inside a mosque used as a hospital during anti-government clashes in Yemen. Many more extraordinary photos of a world in turmoil here.

Quite the spectacle in Brussels as union firefighters protesting the Belgian government's move to raise their retirement age broke through police lines and proceeded to hose down the prime minister’s office, and the riot police guarding it. Helplessness, thy name is a geared-up, well-soaked cop who can't see through his face mask.

The highlight of Washington's approval of gay marriage this week was an eloquent, emotional speech by Rep. Maureen Walshm, one of two Republicans who defied their party to vote for equality.

The city of Henderson, Nev. has approved a settlement of $158,500 after police beat and kicked a man in diabetic shock after stopping him for what they thought was drunken driving. Video shows five officers subduing Adam Greene as a sixth kicks him hard enough to break several ribs. Then they figure out he's ill. Who is it they work for again?

“Stop resisting motherf****r! Stop resisting motherf****r!” - one of the guys hired to serve and protect, as Greene lay on the ground semi-conscious.

An enterprising condom-maker in New York has come up with the Romney Condom, a tax-free "safety net" for "anyone with an elite penis." Benjamin Sherman is sending a box to the Romney campaign to help the clueless multimillionaire connect with average Americans - in, of course, a well-protected sort of way.
