GANGNAM style, for me, is something I wind up experiencing by accident.

A man and his four children have died in a house fire in south-eastern Belgium.

A landslide caused by rains in southern China left 21 people missing today, adding to a growing death toll from China’s worst flood season in a decade, which is expected to worsen with heavy rains forecast across the country.

The Chinese government has acknowledged for the first time that police killed 12 people during July 5 unrest in western China but put the blame squarely on rioters, saying they stockpiled weapons and planned synchronised attacks on targets across the city of Urumqi.
