A spokesman for the BBC said: 'Wolf Hall is broadcast after the watershed and the language in this powerful scene was taken from @placeholder’s original text.' | Henry's third wife: Kate Phillips as Jane Seymour in Wolf Hall Viewers of the BBC's flagship historical drama Wolf Hall have reacted with shock after the 'C-word' was used on the latest episode of the programme. Fans of the Tudor-themed series questioned whether the use of the word, usually considered the rudest swear word in English, was 'really necessary'. And 24 members of the public have filed official complaints objecting to the use of the word in the programme, which is aired on BBC2 just after the 9pm watershed. Wolf Hall, which is based on the best-selling novel by Hilary Mantel and chronicles the rise of Henry VIII's adviser Thomas Cromwell, regularly uses bad language in an apparent bid for historical accuracy.

First Up: Troops in Afghanistan AZUZ: Big announcement scheduled for tomorrow night: what President Obama plans to do about Afghanistan. There are 68,000 U.S. troops there right now. And you know the president's been meeting with advisors for weeks, trying to figure out how the U.S. should approach the war there. He says he wants to get the decision right, but he's been criticized for taking too much time to make it. There is one thing that some critics and supporters of the president seem to agree on, though: that he needs to talk about the U.S. mission in Afghanistan.

The committee of about 30 officials will look into the cases of "all Japanese" residing in North Korea, the report said, with different panels for abducted @placeholder, missing Japanese and Japanese people's remains. | Japan on Friday eased several of its sanctions on North Korea after the two countries made progress this week in talks about Japanese citizens kidnapped by the North Korean regime during the Cold War. The sanctions the Japanese government is lifting or softening include an entry ban on North Korean citizens, an embargo on North Korean ships in Japanese ports and a requirement for reporting movements of money to North Korea. Tokyo is easing some of its unilateral sanctions, but it's sticking to the multilateral ones set out in U.N. resolutions. Japan's move came after the regime in Pyongyang agreed this week to reopen investigations into the decades-old cases of the kidnap victims following talks between the two sides in Beijing.

Queen Latifah remains one of the few female rap artists who garner attention in the music industry. But there has been one development that she said has disappointed her tremendously -- the lack of female rap stars. "There are not enough female rappers out there right now," she said. "The voice of the female is not strong enough in the game at all right now. It's almost nonexistent." While artists like Beyonce, Ciara and Rihanna have thrived in R&B and pop, high-profile success for female rap artists has been more elusive in recent years.

Cambodia's government has said three of its troops have been killed. On Monday, Sansern accused Cambodians of trying to seize two ancient temples, Ta Kwai and Ta Muen Thom.

He nudged @placeholder's car (right), causing the veteran racer to spin out and finish 29th | Jeff Gordon has attacked NASCAR's new bad boy in a pit lane brawl at Texas Motor Speedway after a little contact on the race track led to a whole lot of contact when the drivers got out of their cars.

By the end, Keselowski was left spitting blood and Gordon had a cut on his lip. 'He's just a dips***, you know.

@placeholder's goal is six books a year from Swoon, selected from the voting pool for spring/summer, fall and winter. | (CNN) -- Macmillan Publishing has decided to do "A Little Something Different" by crowd-sourcing and letting readers pick some of the books it will publish. The publisher's aptly titled Swoon Reads imprint targets readers in the market for a good young adult romance. Fans of young adult fiction are a passionate community and they know what they like. Jean Feiwel, a veteran of children's publishing known for her work with popular series like "The Baby-Sitter's Club" and "Goosebumps," was eager to find a new way to hear what readers want. After witnessing the success of self-published authors like Colleen Hoover and Abbi Glines, Feiwel realized that much of the talent being surfaced by readers wasn't reaching her or other publishers through agents.
