Unfortunately it seems like News Review has turned into a podcast. Pretty soon there will be nothing left due to cost cutting. 😢

I am happy to hear the news with your different perspectives from different newspapers. Useful vocabulary with other meanings, always happy to keep learning thanks to you BBC good teachers.
By the way, I'm also happy about Julian Assange being released, but I hope that freedom of
press might not be terribly affected, but unfortunately it appeared that there wasn't any other way to free him at last!
