Less than 24 hours later, he was forced to resign -- an event that marked the beginning of a new Arab era. Al Jazeera has more.

Less than 24 hours after that, he was forced to resign under the pressure of an unprecedented revolution that toppled his regime and outstandingly began a new Arab era. Ben Ali gave three speeches in 17 days in a futile attempt to contain the situation. It was remarkable that as the protests escalated, Ben Ali's tone progressively evolved from threatening and menacing in the first speech, to placating and appeasing in the second, to imploring and pleading in third and final speech. Reporter, Male #2 When Ben Ali addressed the Tunisians for the first time, the protests had entered their twelfth consecutive day and had extended to a number of areas in the city of Sidi Bouzid, causing deaths, injuries and arrests. On this day, he seemed to be downplaying the events after returning from a vacation in Dubai. Guest, Male #3 (Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Deposed Tunisian President) A minority of culprits, perpetrators, and vandals, who are against the nation's interests, resort to violence and rioting in the streets as their way of expression. This is rejected by the state of law. Reporter, Male #2 But his threats led to a reaction opposite from what he expected. The protests spread to new regions and attracted more Tunisians from all social groups. The death toll from the security's gunfire rose, especially in Tala and al-Qasrayn. As the regime realized that the situation was further deteriorating, Ben Ali addressed the Tunisians a second time on January 10. This time he appeared to be more aware of the situation, but did not retract his initial categorization of the protests. Guest, Male #3 Masked gangs initiated night attacks on public facilities and even on citizens in their houses. This is no doubt a terrorist act. Reporter, Male #2 As soon as Ben Ali finished his second speech, the capital Tunis and its residential neighborhoods flared with intensified protests. It became obvious that the street's mobilization had transcended their economic demands and moved towards the political arena. On January 13, Ben Ali appeared anxious and unusually weak, imploring the public in the Tunisian dialect, hoping to gain back the minds and hearts of his people. Guest, Male #3 I understand you, oh yes, I tell you, I understand you, and I decided to grant full freedom. Reporter, Male #2 This speech confused some Tunisian elites, however, the time had passed for reconciliation and the street continued its protest. Immediately, world media networks rushed to Tunisia to capture a clearer picture the following day. And it indeed became clear that the Tunisian people resolved the matter and finally succeeded in expelling their dictator. http://news.linktv.org/videos/syrias-assad-attacks-western-powers-and-arab-league?start=0 Syrian president Bashar al-Assad said on Tuesday that his government is the victim of an "external conspiracy," backed by the West to destabilize the country and force him from power.

In an address in Damascus, his first public speech since Arab League inspectors entered Syria, Assad repeated his claim that the opposition movement's 10-month uprising against his rule was being funded by "outside forces." "The existence of an external conspiracy is obvious to everyone. What has been plotted in the darkness is beginning to come out into the light," he said. http://news.linktv.org/videos/get-it-done-youth-delegates-powerful-speech-at-un-summit?start=0 Anjali Appadurai, a student at the College of the Atlantic in Maine, delivers a powerful speech to the UN Climate Change Conference on behalf of youth delegates.

A number of protests are being held today at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban to protest the failure of world leaders to agree to immediately agree to a deal of binding emissions cuts. Anjali Appadurai, a student at the College of the Atlantic in Maine, addressed the conference on behalf of youth delegates. Just after her speech, she led a mic-check from the stage -- a move inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests. "It always seems impossible until it's done. So, distinguished delegates and governments around the world, governments of the developed world: Deep cuts now. Get it done," Appadurai says. http://news.linktv.org/videos/once-again-christie-announces-he-isnt-running-for-president?start=0 After months of speculation in the face of repeated denials, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announces once again he will not be candidate for 2012 Republican presidential nomination, saying "Now is not my time."

The opposition believes the king's maneuver is being carried out by repeatedly talking about a dialogue. This comes as the Bahraini king acknowledged that detainees in his regime's prisons are subjected to ill-treatment. Guest, Male # 1 (Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, King of Bahrain) There are those who got arrested and investigations proved that they were the victims of individual behavior and were ill-treated in custody. Reporter, Male # 2 In his speech, the Bahraini king attempted to pacify the popular mobilization and reduce the street's anger but it seems the attempt was unsuccessful. Bahrainis say the speech ignored popular demands for justice and citizens' rights. Despite the king's call for forgiveness, building bridges of brotherhood, and his recognition that detainees in his regime's prisons were subjected to ill-treatment, he disregarded the dozens of martyrs who have fallen in the last few months. They died in the crackdown, the result of tyranny carried out by the king's security forces with the backing of Saudi occupation forces. Guest, Male # 3 (Qassem al-Hashimi, Member of Society for Supporting Bahraini People) The authorities are responsible for this escalation, the killings, and the targeting. Brother, the king didn't mention the martyrs. He talked about some cases because these cases are impossible to hide. Reporter, Male # 2 Despite the Manama government's admission of its mistakes, there is no indication that it regrets its actions or that it will take action to regain the trust of the Bahraini street. The authorities' crackdown on peaceful protests continues and demonstrators are dispersed across the country with the use of a wide variety of weapons and tear gas. Bahrainis say the authorities have adopted methods and techniques meant to trick and deceive the people. The first were the crackdowns, oppressive methods, and dismissal of employees. The latest and probably not the last is the so-called dialogue initiative, which marginalized an entire sect. And with that, the government lost its legitimacy, according to the protestors. Guest, Male # 4 (Abbas Omran, Bahrain Center for Human Rights) The government has completely lost its legitimacy. It has no popular support. It gave its forces orders to commit crimes against humanity. It brought in Saudi forces, killed civilians and demolished mosques. It also committed many other crimes. Reporter, Male # 2 The authorities adopted different means to end the popular protests. At times, they used harsh methods and violence, and at other times they made speeches and vibrant promises. However, Bahrainis have decided their fate and spoken their mind. They confirm they will not abandon the street and the peaceful protests until all their demands are met. http://news.linktv.org/videos/assad-hails-syrian-troops-for-fighting-warped-plot?start=0 President Bashar al-Assad of Syria has praised his armed forces in the face of what he called a "warped plot" against the country.
