As troubles flare in the Western area of China, and protests are organised in the region called Tea-bet (I guess you can figure out what the exact name is), the Chinese censorship strikes again.

Since yesterday, it has not been possible to access Youtube and for most of the yesterday you could not access Yahoo.com mail. For some reason it was only yahoo.com, not yahoo.co.uk or yahoo.fr mails. Probably because the Yahoo.com website had an article on unrest in Tea-bet.
