    This is the most horrific word to pronounce so far.

      Just break it down. Между (inter), народ (public), ный. Easy.

        A better translation of между is "between")

        Maybe, "among"?)

            There aren't any tongue twisters in Russian, 'cause some words are already a tongue twister.

              There actually are a lot of tongue twisters)

              Жаба в лужице сидела,
              Жадно на жука глядела.
              Жук жужжал, жужжал, жужжал
              И на ужин к ней попал

              У ежа - ежата, у ужа - ужата.
              Ужата - у ужа, ежата - у ежа.

                      Using the phonetic transcription from https://easypronunciation.com/en/russian-phonetic-transcription-converter , we have:

                      • международный (mʲɪʐdʊnɐrˈodnᵻj) - Forvo (masculine)
                      • международная (mʲɪʐdʊnɐrˈodnəjə) - Forvo (feminine)
                      • международное (mʲɪʐdʊnɐrˈodnəjə) - Forvo (neutral)
                      • международные (mʲɪʐdʊnɐrˈodnᵻjə) - Forvo (plural)

                      I know the feminine and the neuter have the same pronunciation, but I can't notice a difference from the plural form. Do natives do?

                        i would suggest to add "world news" as a valid answer ;)

                        I certainly wouldn't object if they did this, but I will note that Russian also has the term "мировые новости." How close a synonym this would be to "международные новости" I don't know.

                          Is this a section heading in "Pravda?"

                            why is it spelled differently here? what's the difference between международный and международные?

                            Masculine singular vs. plural. "новости" is plural

                              I think people rarely say "international news". Not just russians. I think "World News" or Новости В Мире is more common.

                              They are interchangeable in American English. "World News" might be more common, but "International News" is not rare.
