The storm Lan
Quarter million evacuated after storm in Japan
A quarter of a million people are being evacuated and over 900 flights may be canceled in Japan as a result of the storm Lan that has reached the country's west coast.
Lakes have flooded, highways are closed and Japan's famous high-speed Shinkansen between Tokyo and Nagoya has been canceled as a result of the storm.
Wind speeds were measured at 45 meters per second and upwards of 20 people, the majority elderly, have been injured in the areas of Hyogo, Osaka, Kyoto, Shiga and Wakayama, according to the AP.

China scraps youth unemployment data
The monthly reporting from China on the country's youth unemployment ends after two months of record high figures, international media write. China itself believes that the methodology "must be improved" before releasing new data.
When it is expected to be ready is unclear.
The latest statistics show that unemployment has risen to 21.3 percent. Compared to the month before, China did not break down the statistics into age categories.
