Need to know: Bahrain has now taken center stage as large protests there continued for a second day until late on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Yemeni protesters were met by a massive police presence and, for the first time, there have been reports of unrest in Libya against Muammar Qaddafi, who has held power for more than 40 years.
