Google has a great feed of different news stories from across the globe. You can even subscribe to any keyword(s) feed if you have an RSS reader. This is one of the feeds that I watch on a daily basis:

If you use RSS, you can find the feed on any Google news page on the left hand side of the page.
If you want to make the news feed even narrower you can try keywords like bambusa or phyllostachys:
