On a visit to the United Nations (UN), South Korean rapper Psy attempted to teach Ban Ki-moon, a South Korean, his popular dance from the video of Gangnam Style.

 

 

 

Admitting at first that he was "nervous", the UN Secretary-General relented and copied Psy's horse-riding style dance moves.

 

 

 

 

Psy was at the UN to discuss with Ban Ki-moon how they could work together to help global issues.

 

 

 

Earlier, Ban Ki-moon had joked: "I was thinking about you when you were coming - you know we have tough negotiations in the United Nations. In such a case I was also thinking of playing the Gangnam Style dance so that everybody would stop and dance, maybe you can bring UN style."

 

 

 

Psy's song Gangnam Style, which mocks the consumerism of a rich Seoul suburb, and his hit horse-riding-style dance went viral on video-sharing website YouTube. It has been viewed more than 560 million times since it was released in mid-July.

A major airport in northern Japan has been closed after an unexploded bomb believed to be from World War II was found.

Local police official Hiroshi Ouchi said flights in and out of Sendai airport were cancelled Tuesday after the 250-kilogram (550-pound) bomb was uncovered during construction near a runway. It was identified as American-made and is believed to be a dud from World War II.

Ouchi said a military bomb squad was called and evacuations were being considered.

Japanese cities were bombed heavily during World War II, and finding duds is not unusual. The rusty condition of the bombs can make them prone to detonate when moved, but injuries are rare.

The Sendai airport was closed for months due to damage from last year's tsunami.

Branston Pickle is being sold to a 200 year-old Japanese vinegar manufacturer for £92.5m, in the latest deal involving an Asian food business and a British household brand.

 

Branston will join Sarson's and Weetabix in foreign ownership once the deal with Mizkan Group is completed. It will be the second transaction between Mizkan and Premier this year after the Japanese company bought the Sarson's, Haywards pickled onion and Dufrais vinegar brands in June - a month after a Chinese firm bought a majority stake in Weetabix.

 

Kazuhide Matazaemon Nakano VIII, Mizkan's chief executive, indicated that Branston and Sarson's have not been bought as potential entrants into the Japanese food market. Japan's industrial base has been hit by the high price of the yen and domestic manufacturers have targeted foreign expansion in a bid to keep costs down, as well as using their strong currency to pursue takeovers abroad.

 

"Branston Sweet Pickle is an iconic brand that has established a market leading position," said the Mizkan boss. "The Branston brand is also an excellent strategic fit with our global portfolio and adds to our solid foundation for growth in the UK."

 

The deal includes the Branston sweet pickle, ketchup, salad cream and mayonnaise brands as well as the company's factory at Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, which employs 365 people. Premier said it expected "all employees" to transfer to Mizkan once the deal is completed in early 2013.

 

Kazuhide Matazaemon Nakano VIII - now there's a name!

If one time was not bad enough he did it a second time, according to reports.

 

A man has fled his home in Pote Village, Mashonaland Central Province in Zimbabwe, after allegedly impregnating his mother a second time, according to the British news media. The mother also fled the village.

 

Simon Matsvara and his mother Ethel Vhangare decided to leave the village after church members learned of the alleged pregnancy. Just four years ago, the two were reportedly fined by the village elders when Vhangare suffered a miscarriage after getting pregnant from her son.
