Policemen and soccer fans are seen through barbed wire as fans attempt to enter a stadium to watch a match, on the outskirts of Cairo February 8, 2015.
Seeing The News: At least 22 Egyptian soccer fans were killed in the clashes that broke out on Sunday night when security forces barred them from entering a stadium.
The trouble happened at a match between two Cairo clubs, Zamalek and Enppi. Police used teargas to disperse the crowd, security forces said.
Police officials say that because of the stampede, some people choked and died from asphyxiation, while others died from being trampled.
President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has expressed "great sorrow". And Omar Gaber, a midfielder for Zamalek, refused to play in the match after learning about the deaths. However, the team's management suspended him.
Starlings in Murmuration
When a bunch of starlings get together in flight, they make something called a murmuration. They can turn in unison — a phase transition. Here is a murmuration photographed in Rahat in southern Israel. Also, there's an amazing video of a murmuration in Ireland that you should watch.
Night Surfing
About 40 surfers gathered on the beaches of Ashdod, Israel, for a little surfing … at night. They were there for the second annual night surfing contest. Surfers say it's one of the best places to catch a wave in Israel. Special lights are set up on Gil Beach so people can see.
Filipino Street Photography
Photographer Rick Rocamora has pulled together a collection of street photography from his fellow Filipino countrymen for an exhibit at the Vargas Museum at the University of the Philippines. The images document life in the Philippines but also life outside of the country where expats have found a new home.
Life in Donetsk
Renewed clashes between Ukranian government forces and Pro-Russian rebels in the east of the country have once again grabbed the media spotlight. And while many of the images depict the charred remains of tanks, buildings and other reminants of war, photographer Manu Brabo's pictures are a reminder of the human costs of the conflict.
