Seems that Google News is having some problems atm... the World, Health and Entertainment sections are showing no results for me...

This seems to only affect the US Google News. Localised versions seem to be working.

If I go to UK localisation the main news segment doesn't work and it's still missing UK, Entertainment and More Top Stories.

I'm now seeing different content for the UK and US pages.

On the UK version the Top Stories still works however World, UK and Business doesn't but Sci/Tech does.

If I go to the US version I see World and Business, but UK and Science/Tech still don't work.

Maybe it's caching problems, or a specific Google datacentre is experiencing an outage at the moment?

After getting a "server problem" message from Google earlier in the day (several tries) I got a "Swiss cheese" version of the GoogleNews site – World and Business sections at least out of commission, and intermittent problems with other categories. There seems to be a significant server problem. (I'm not enough of a techno-geek to know what the likely explanations might be.)
