Most of the big world news headlines are the same. Some are country-specific, though.
For example:
Japan has become interested in rugby this year because the Japan team did well.
But, unlike the U.S., Japan isn’t too interested in the U.S. baseball World Series (unless a player on one of the teams is from Japan).
