| Toronto mayor defends Bieber after new charge, but not his music | |  Justin Bieber has run afoul of police in both Canada and the United States in just one week, but the teenage pop star has at least one defender who knows something about negative attention: fellow Canadian and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. Ford, who has become a staple of late-night punch lines since he admitted in November that he had smoked crack cocaine while in a "drunken stupor", defended Bieber on Thursday during an interview on a Washington, D.C., radio show called Sports Junkies. Think back to when you were 19." Ford made the comment after one of the hosts call Bieber "Canada's worst export."

Bieber was charged on Wednesday with assaulting a limousine driver in Toronto in December.

| In Egypt, just speaking to Brotherhood is a risk for foreign reporters | |  By Michael Georgy CAIRO (Reuters) - When Hosni Mubarak was in power, a foreign journalist could spend unlimited time with members of the opposition Muslim Brotherhood, who roundly condemned the autocratic leader. The public prosecutor said on Wednesday that Egypt would put an Australian, two Britons and a Dutchwoman working for Al Jazeera on trial for aiding 16 Egyptians belonging to a "terrorist organisation", a reference to the Brotherhood.

Egypt has cracked down on dissent since the army toppled the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Mursi, the country's first freely elected president, in July after mass protests against him.

| Feud tarnishes reputation of Turkey's Erdogan, Gulen - survey | |  Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's feud with U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen has damaged the reputation of both, but Erdogan's party would still win an election if one were called this weekend, a survey showed on Thursday. A corruption scandal led to the resignation of three government ministers last month, as well as the detention of businessmen close to Erdogan, who has portrayed the investigation as a "judicial coup" attempt by Gulen supporters. Gulen's Hizmet ("Service") movement is widely believed to have considerable influence in the police and judiciary and the government has transferred thousands of police officers and more than a hundred prosecutors in response to the inquiry. "Both sides are losing prestige rapidly," Ozer Sancar, the head of the MetroPoll polling company said.
