A guide to words and names in the news, from Lena Olausson of the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Pronunciation Unit.

"Today's pronunciation is the Afghan province Helmand, where two British soldiers have been killed. This name is sometimes mispronounced as HEL-mand, when it should be hel-MAND - with stress on the last syllable."
