This is correct. Lawrence tells the Delavigne staff he "watched some of the bravest men of his generation die". In this sentence "to watch" is synonymous with the verb "to witness".
Lawrence never says that he himself "nearly" (or almost) died in Namibia. He is expressing that he saw other people around him die while he was in the country.
This is correct. After Lawrence explains that he spent 3 years in "the forests of Namibia". Icarus questions this statement by asking Lawrence if Namibia actually has forests (it does not).
"To threaten" someone is to "menace" them. Lawrence is not threatening to kill Icarus, although he does say that he saw people die during his time in the military.
To "murder someone" is to "kill them". Lawrence is not expressing that he killed anybody himself, but rather that he saw people die.

At the end of the broadcast, Ray comments that he is flying 2000 feet above San Francisco and that it is "not looking very good down there". Ray is referring to the traffic in San Francisco when he says this, and the expression "it's not looking very good down there" indicates that the traffic isn't circulating "smoothly". We can assume from Ray's comments that the traffic in San Francisco isn't "smooth".
Moira reports that the economic crisis in Argentina has "taken a turn for the worse". If a situation has taken a "turn for the worse", then it has deteriorated or become more serious. "To improve" describes the opposite effect: a situation has got better. Moira is saying that the economic crisis in Argentina is deteriorating, not improving. Note that the expression "to take a turn for" can also be used to describe something positive: My luck has taken a turn for the better.
Moira says that there was an "assassination attempt" on the Danish Prime Minister, meaning that someone tried to kill or murder the Prime Minister of Denmark. The term "assassination" is generally used to describe the murder (or attempted murder in this case) of significant individuals (politicians, famous artists etc).
Moira says that a "devastating flood" has hit Bangladesh. A "flood" is an inundation of water which submerges normally dry land, generally due to intense rainfall or storms. An "earthquake" is the shaking or trembling of the earth due to seismic activity. When speaking of natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes, we often use the verb "to hit" to describe where the disaster occurred. For example: The Tsunami hit Thailand and Indonesia.
Moira reports that the assassination attempt on the Danish Prime Minister had "some hilarious consequences". The term "hilarious" describes something extremely funny. Moira is saying that the attempted murder of the Danish Prime Minister had some comical results, which is ironic, because generally assassination attempts are quite serious!

This is a false statement. Brian writes that Wang Bottling Co (Zhi Zhi Wang's company) "made a name for itself...manufacturing bottles and plastics for (the Chinese brewery) '5 Monkey Beers LLP", it was after this initial success that Zhi Zhi took control of the brewery.
This is a false statement. Brian writes that Lee Wang's father died "without appointing a successor to the Wang fortune." This means that no one was officially awarded Wang's "fortune": his companies, estate, money, and other assets. The terms "heir" and "successor" are synonymous in this context, and refer to the person or people who receive the "inheritance" upon someone's death. To "appoint (a successor)" is to officially and legally select a successor.
This is correct. Brian writes that after Zhi Zhi Wang took control of the "5 Monkey Beers LLP" brewery, the company president, Sum-Young Kai, mysteriously disappeared. Brian then writes that "Three months later, Kai's body washed up on the shore of the Yangtze river", meaning that body of the company president was found by the side of the Yangtze river. Brian is suggesting that the Kai was probably murdered, although he doesn't say who the killer was. My guess is that Wang did it...
