This Week's Top News Stories on YouTube--Tunisia makes history, Turkey gets leveled, and #OccupyOakland gets violent.

Everyday on the CitizenTube Channel (and @CitizenTube on Twitter), along with our curation partners @storyful, we look at how the top news stories are covered on YouTube. Every week we'll post a weekly recap of the top news stories of the week:

• We watched history unfold in Tunisia as the country's people were the first to go to the polls since they ignited the Arab Spring, and chose the moderate Islamist Ennahda party as their majority representatives in their first ever democratic elections.
• We witnessed Libya mark its "declaration of liberation" and the secret burial of Moammar Gadhafi, as the country prepares for a new, democratic future.
• We saw eastern Turkey's Van province get leveled by a massive 7.2 earthquake that crushed buildings and killed at least 500 people despite some fortunate rescues.
• We noted a violent escalation in police enforcement during Occupy Oakland protests and the subsequent solidarity marches by affiliated Occupy movements across the US.
• We followed Michelle Bachmann as she filed her paperwork for the New Hampshire primary and a baby-kissing Barack Obama on the US campaign trail.
• We monitored worsening floods in Thailand as water crept in on the capital Bangkok and forced officials to issue evacuation orders for tens of thousands of residents.
• And finally, we were mystified along with the rest of the US with Republican candidate for president Herman Cain's newest viral ad in which his chief of staff is seen smoking.
