The wrong hemisphere?
Venezuela murder-rate quadrupled under Chavez -NGO
With a murder rate of 140 per 100,000 citizens, Venezuela’s capital Caracas has the highest murder rate in South America, only exceeded in the hemisphere by Mexico’s Ciudad Juarez.
In your story you incorrectly state that Venezuela is in the same hemisphere as Mexico.
Venezuela is in the Southern Hemisphere and Mexico is in the Northern Hemisphere.

Venezuela is indeed in South America, but I believe the entire country is located north of the equator. That puts it in the Northern Hemisphere – the same as Mexico: GBU Editor
No, the other Korea…
Please see this page. I can see our national flag on the sled, called ‘Taegukgi.’
It is the South Korean national flag. Yes, I’m South Korean and want to correct the caption that says North Korea.
Kiev vs. Kyiv…

KIEV, Feb 15 (Reuters) – Ukraine will try to borrow abroad soon in order to meet a hefty bill for domestic debt due in April, deputy finance minister Andriy Kravets said on Monday, indicating however that the loan would be not be public.
An observation, not a question. Will you please stop spelling Kyiv by the old transliteration from Russian.
Which country was it?
Please re-edit the script in you video…. the reader mentioned the country as Indonesia..it should be Malaysia.

It was a very confusing report, to be sure. We pulled it: GBU Editor
Not in South America….
Matrimoni gay, da Città del Messico il primo ok sudamericano
Reading your headlines in Reuters Italy I read one that says: Gay marriage in Mexico , the first one in Southamerica. I would like to tell you that Mexico is NOT located in south america. I think this is a very big mistake.

Surprised

The youngest?
British teen becomes youngest to sail world solo
LONDON (Reuters) – A 17-year-old Briton became the youngest person to sail round the globe single-handed on Thursday after nine months at sea.
Mike Perham suffered knockdowns and damage to his yacht during the 24,000-mile (38,700-km) trip and the teenager from Hertfordshire, southern England, said he was now looking forward to a “good meal and a very good night’s sleep.”
Not even in the ballpark
Four killers of US official could escape death-lawyer
Granville was the first U.S. official to be killed in Khartoum for more than 30 years. He was returning home from New Year celebrations on Jan. 1, 2008, when he and Rahama were shot. Granville was from near Buffalo, close to New York City.
In today’s news story you state that Buffalo, the home of murdered US aid worker John Granville, is “close to New York City.”
Woodrow Wilson or Ronald Reagan?
The video you have posted regarding the U.S.-China Strategic Economic Conference incorrectly states that the event is occurring at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, DC.
The event (at which President Obama was the keynote speaker)is taking place at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center (The Ronald Reagan Building), Washington, DC.
