Pronouncing foreign leaders' names is a headache for newsreaders the world over but it has proved the downfall of one Indian newscaster, who mistook the visiting Chinese president's name for the Roman numeral XI, calling him "Eleven Jinping" on air.

The blunder occurred late on Thursday night in a report by India's public broadcaster Doordarshan on President Xi Jinping's high-profile first state visit to India.

Local news site Quartz on Friday quoted Doordarshan chief executive Jawahar Sircar as saying the newscaster had been sacked and steps had been taken to avoid a repeat of such an incident.
