Unable to have user role permissions correctly applied

I have a multi-language site managed by different admins. We want to create a news editor role and apply it so that a) the person can only modify content applicable to their language and b) can only modify content type "news"

I am using the translation module and also installed the "content access" module.

Under permissions, I have the permissions correctly configured under "node" in user permissions, where I only allow CRUD for the "news content type", and relying on the translation modules to restrict content to their languages under the users > languages section.

My site is applying the correct permissions for translations, only allowing you to edit assigned languages (or translate another language content type), but simply ignores the "node" rules and allows me to edit any language assigned to my user role. I then tried the content access module, but unfortunately even those rules were ignored. Although under node I only allow modifications of the content type "news", I am able to edit any content type.

I suspect there is a hierarchy of permissions and my access is probably granted because of the permissions set to accept modifications of assigned languages and then ignores the node permissions, or does the permission system continue?

Any ideas how to get around this issue?
