Honduras has world's highest murder rate. 
There are 90.4 homicides per 100,000 people in Honduras. Homicide rates in Honduras have been five to eight times higher than in Europe or Asia since mid 1950's.  This phenomenon was said to be " the legacy of decades of political and crime-related violence." The weapons that they use to commit crimes are mostly firearms and sharp objects. Nearly 40 percent of the 437,000 murders that happened in 2013 took place in the Americas, mostly in Central and South America. With a long history of gang violence, drug issues and public discrimination, stricter laws are being enforced and introduced to the countries, especially Honduras.

Chinese wildfire leaves 12 people killed, 2000 homes destroyed. 
After the fire consumed about 2000 homes, 8000 people have been left homeless. More than 1200 fire-fighters worked to get rid of the fire and many say that it was one of the worst fires in history. People that live in the area where the fire occurred are fleeing and seeking for a home to stay. 17 aircraft and additional police were called for help. However, the fire is still igniting and the officials are doing their best to put out the fire.
