So it looks like Guatemala will have to wait a bit longer before it gets a first crack at sitting on the UN's Security Council. The deadlock between US-backed Guatemala and Venezuela has been broken with both sides saying they have agreed to endorse Panama as an alternative.

Here is how the BBC, Reuters and the Financial Times have reported the agreement in this long running deadlock.

In other news Mexico have agreed to the extradition of former President Alfonso Portillo. Mr Portillo is wanted over the disappearance of $15.7m (£9m) earmarked for the defence ministry which was then transferred into foreign bank accounts.

And finally, according to The Mirror, Ross Kemp has apparently travelled to Guatemala (amongst other countries) for a documentary on gangs.

"The 42-year-old went through hell making the second series of Ross Kemp On Gangs, meeting warlords in South Africa, El Salvador, Guatemala and Ontario, as well as Russia - none of whom knew or cared about his macho image back home".

Ground breaking journalism? A mind blowing insight into the issue of young people and criminal justice? I don't think we'll be holding our breath.
