Change in North Korea
The man who oversaw one of the world's biggest armies is out. Less clear is who takes over Ri Yong Ho's position as North Korea's powerful army chief.
And more importantly, what does it mean?
Ri's sudden dismissal caught North Korea watchers by surprise. He has frequently been by Kim Jong Un's side since the young leader took over following his father's death in December 2011.

They appeared together as recently as last week. There was no sign of disagreement, or the "illness" that forced Ri's removal.
Weibo can't handle 'Truth'
Update: Since we posted this, the "truth" was unblocked on Sina Weibo.
On the Internet in China, the "truth" has vanished.
The Chinese word for "truth" (真相) has been blocked from Sina Weibo, China's leading social media site.
It might seem like a bad Orwellian joke, or a satirical headline from "The Onion," but it's true.
