'Most Read' Articles From Around The World



Secrets 
WikiLeaks is still dominating the 'most read' spot around the world. While it's in fewer number one 'most read' spots this morning compared to yesterday - it's still in the top five in many papers. 

Is China Ready For a Unified Korea?
The Guardian's intriguing highlight of the WikiLeaks suggests that China is ready to abandon its old ally - North Korea. But is it ready for hundreds of thousands of refuges? And how might news of these talks alter public opinion in China?

Sex, celebrity, politics - familiar themes to the 'most read' spot are again in today's top spots - as well as a story on your health, plus crazy weather

If you have an answer to the questions - what drives people's attention? And - should we be attending to something else - if so, how? Then please comment below. Thanks.
