Google has launched a new version of its search engine Web site in China. The site censors material about Tibet, human rights and other topics considered sensitive by the Chinese government.

After weeks of threats from North Korea, some South Koreans turned their attention this weekend away from weapons and toward a new song by the country's global rap star, PSY.
