(AP) CAIRO – Egypt’s president on Saturday stressed the need for his country to have a bigger role in international affairs, using his first local television interview to urge the Syrian government to end the carnage coursing through Cairo’s onetime ally. “The Syrian regime needs to understand that the continuation of bloodshed goes against all laws, desires, history and humanity,” Mohammed Morsi said in the hour-long interview, broadcast on state TV. The one-on-one interview addressed a range of issues facing the new president, who was sworn into office on June 30 in the country’s first free presidential elections. He assumed the post after a rocky transitional period governed by the country’s military, which took power after last year’s uprising that ousted longtime President Hosni Mubarak. Egypt’s uprising inspired others in the region, including in Syria. More in After the Arab Spring “Egypt is not on the sidelines of this problem. There is a positive and personal relationship between the Egyptian people and the Syrian people,” Morsi said, in a reference to the shortly-lived alliance that ended in 1961 between Egypt and Syria, when both nations shared the same flag as part of a union. “The Syrian struggle pains us now, pains all people of the region.” Rebels move command center from Turkey to SyriaAssad: Syrian rebels will be defeated Syria’s bloody 18-month conflict, which activists say has killed nearly...

(CBS) Oprah Winfrey left a big gap in daytime programming when she ended “The Oprah Winfrey Show” earlier this year. She covered everything: Politics. Human emotion. Weight struggles. Spirituality. The Secret. And she did it in a way that drew in viewers from just about every socioeconomic group. And who has the far-reaching appeal that Winfrey has? No one. Let’s be honest. But here are some of the options from which Americans can choose to have their daily gab needs met – and maybe some of these hosts will surprise us. Anderson Cooper: The CNN anchor and reporter hit the airwaves Monday with “Anderson,” his new talk show. His first guests were Amy Winehouse’s family. The L.A. Times writes, “[D]espite the man’s famous Vanderbilt/Dalton School/Yale/CNN pedigree, [“Anderson”] appears to be eerily similar to every other daytime talk show host’s [show].” That’s just one opinion, but Anderson does appeal to lots of different groups. Perhaps he can build his show into something bigger than a traditional talk show over time.  Dr. Oz: Winfrey first had Dr. Oz on in 2004. He got his own show in late 2009 after many appearances alongside Oprah. Oz’s show – “The Dr. Oz Show” – is primarily a medical and health show wrapped up in a talk show format. Tackling belly fat is one of the subjects of the show’s new season. Dr. Drew:...

If you’re feeling a bit down as 2016 draws to a close, you’re not alone and, as it turns out, there’s a reason for that. It’s called “cultural trauma,” and according to Jeffrey Alexander, a sociology professor at Yale University, it occurs “when a collectivity experiences an injury to its idealization of who it is.” Basically, every year has a narrative. Some years simply have more memorable and, shall we say, darker narratives than others. So, when 2016 kicked off in January with the death of David Bowie — a music icon countless fans viewed as untouchable — a narrative about unthinkable and unpredictable tragic events occurring was set into motion. “With Prince and David Bowie, I think the real surprise was that they weren’t immortal,” dramaturg Anika Chapin tells CBS News. “There was something about them that was so special and so odd and unusual, that it was like, the fact that they were even capable of dying like human beings was in itself disappointing.” When Bowie’s passing was followed in close succession by more terrible news — the terrorist attack in Brussels, the spread of the Zika virus, the water crisis that turned Flint, Michigan into a disaster area — 2016 evolved into a year many people wished they could simply rewind. “There were a lot of bad things that happened over the course of this year,”...
