From the Associated Press:

SANAA, Yemen –  Yemen’s embattled president agreed Saturday to a proposal by Gulf Arab mediators to step down within 30 days and hand power to his deputy in exchange for immunity from prosecution, a major about-face for the autocratic leader who has ruled for 32 years.

For those counting, that’s three down (Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen), one up in the air (Libya), and at least two still to go (Syria, Bahrain).
