    ‘See you there!’

    Sam shot to fame on Made In Chelsea in 2013 and has gone on to become a telly favourite.

    BREAKING NEWS: “We’ve decided and won’t change” – ITV firmly responds to viewers’ Pleas – TEARS for Loose Women & Lorraine – SMILES for The Chase, Deal Or No Deal and Tipping Point!

    Three ITV daytime shows will be picking up the slack in the wake of axed Loose Women and Lorraine episodes.

    Back in May many were left shocked when it was revealed that the two popular daytime programmes had been pulled for half the year.

    But fans will be happy to know that there are three popular shows that have been confirmed to return to our screens.

    The Chase, Deal Or No Deal and Tipping Point have have even been given a ‘major boost’ on the schedule and according to The Sun, new episodes will be filming later this year.

    Tipping Point – hosted by Ben Shepard, 50 – hit our screens in 2012 and has aired 1,597 regular episodes over 14 series.

    But over the past year, no new instalments had been filmed, which worried some fans, however it was confirmed that ITV had a number of unaired episodes were being played out instead.

    Deal Or No Deal has been on our screens since 2005, and the show aired on Channel 4 until 2016.

    When the show returned in 2023, it started airing on ITV instead and Stephen Mulhern took over the presenting role from Noel Edmonds.

    Fans will be happy to know that more episodes will be filmed later this year, but another series will be released before that.

    And The Chase, hosted by Bradley Walsh, 65, has had 18 successful regular series since it first launched in 2009.

    Bradley, and the Chasers Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan and Darragh Ennis are set to film later this year.

    Lorraine and Loose Women have been axed for half the year and Lorraine’s runtime has been slashed by 30 minutes, as ITV Daytime bosses announced huge cuts today with job losses in excess of 220.

    Host Lorraine Kelly faced the brunt of the cuts with Good Morning Britain now taking her 9-10am slot for 22 weeks of the year.

    For the remaining 30 weeks of the year, Lorraine will present five days a week, meaning her Friday stand-in presenters Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard are no longer needed for the show.

    Lorraine’s show has also been slashed in half, now running for just 30 minutes from 9:30am to 10am.

    ITV sources told MailOnline that they have decided to cut resources on their daytime schedule so that the network can invest in more drama programmes.

    One said: ‘There is a need to cost save but also so that the right money can go to the right shows and with everything getting more expensive these things have to be looked at.

    The source added: ‘Christine and Ranvir remain part of the ITV daytime family.’

    This Morning, whose presenters include Alison Hammond, Ben Shepherd, and Cat Deeley, remains untouched.

    It was also announced  that ITV Studios will no longer make Good Morning Britain but instead it will be made by ITN – the organisation which makes ITV News.

    That means that there could be a merger between the staff working on GMB – which is hosted by Susanna Reid – and the channel’s news bulletins.

    Meanwhile, ITV said that it is unlikely any on-screen talent will be axed.

    An ITV source insisted that the changes have not be influenced by any of the show’s performances, saying: ‘We recognise daytime is a very popular genre and these changes and efficiencies are about preserving the future of the genre, whilst also funding additional investment in dramas like Mr Bates vs The Post Office and in coverage of the biggest sporting events like next year’s football World Cup as well as the UK’s biggest reality and entertainment shows.

    Good Morning Britain will now be extended for 30 minutes for 30 weeks of the year, and by an hour for the remaining 22 weeks

    ‘This has nothing to do with under performance, the bosses are very pleased with all four shows. This Morning and GMB have escaped unscathed, their social media footprint is booming.’

    Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of ITV’s Media and Entertainment Division, explained the changes: ‘Daytime is a really important part of what we do, and these scheduling and production changes will enable us to continue to deliver a schedule providing viewers with the news, debate and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust as well generating savings which will allow us to reinvest across the programme budget in other genres.

    ‘These changes also allow us to consolidate our news operations and expand our national, international and regional news output and to build upon our proud history of trusted journalism at a time when our viewers need accurate, unbiased news coverage more than ever.’

    Lygo added: ‘I recognise that our plans will have an impact on staff off screen in our Daytime production teams, and we will work with ITV Studios and ITN as they manage these changes to produce the shows differently from next year, and support them through this transition.

    ‘Daytime has been a core element of ITV’s schedule for over 40 years and these changes will set ITV up to continue to bring viewers award winning news, views and discussion as we enter our eighth decade.”

    The news was announced in an emergency staff meeting held by ITV Daytime boss Emma Gormley.

    “She woke me up” – Steph McGovern reveals how her best friend’s “Sh0cking 4-WORD” rebuke made her Change – Also responds to This Morning hosting rumours that left fans buzzing!

    Steph McGovern has revealed a friend dealt her an epic putdown after asking if she’d get recognised during a night out.

    The TV host, 43, was catapulted to household fame thanks to her stint on the BBC‘s long-running breakfast show.

    While she was the main business presenter, Steph often hosted the entire programme as a stand-in.

    In 2019, she left the BBC completely and moved to Channel 4, where she hosted her own programme, fittingly called Steph’s Packed Lunch.

    But in a new interview, the mum-of-one has recalled the time her friend stopped her on a night out and warned her she was becoming a ‘bit of a nob’.

    Steph told The Times: ‘I was in a restaurant not long after I’d got the job and a group of blokes sent over a bottle of champagne to my table, like, “Whey! Doing it for the northerners”.

    ‘People were always getting photos and stuff, which was really lovely, but my mate was like, “You are turning into a bit of a nob”.’

    Admitting she ‘fell’ for the buzz of presenting, Steph continued: ‘Everywhere we went I was, “Ooh, I wonder if I’ll get recognised”. And she’d be like, “Ah, shut up. Come on”.

    ‘When she said it I thought, “I don’t want to be a TV nob”. And I went, “You’re right”.’

    In 2023, Steph was dealt a crushing blow when Channel 4 axed her daytime show due to low viewership.

    She made her long-awaited TV return last month, appearing on ITV’s This Morning for their daily news segment.

    The journalist appeared alongside LBC radio host Nick Ferrari, 66, as fans at home were left delighted.

    Flooding social media with their reactions, many called for Steph to be given a permanent hosting slot on the show.

    Meanwhile, Steph recently opened up about her stɑlker hell, which is detailed in her brand new book, titled Deadline.

    Appearing on This Morning, she said: ‘I have had a stɑlker, so that story is in there, I’ve never really tɑlked about it before but it was quite fun and therapeutic writing it in a crime fiction,’ Steph explained.

    She added: ‘Weirdly in telly, when I found out I had a stɑlker and told my bosses they were like ‘Oh yeah, everyone gets a stɑlker at some point’.

    ‘But this was a guy who just used to turn up everywhere I went.’

    The TV presenter recalled how although the man ‘wasn’t horrible’ to her, he did think he was in a relationship with her.

    ‘He used to think, when I said ‘Morning everyone’ on the telly, that I was talking directly to him and he used to think when I put things on social media that that was me telling him where to meet me,’ she added.

    Noel Edmonds and his wife Liz are preparing to wed for a fifth time as he proposed again in a hot tub at their home in New Zealand.

    The TV personality, 76, and his wife, Liz, 55, relocated in 2019 and own an 800-acre estate, River Haven, which features a restaurant, a vineyard, a pub and a wellness centre.

    And since tying the knot for the first time in 2009, Noel and Liz have found themselves saying ‘I do’ three more times, one of which he cannot remember.

    Noel told the Mirror: ‘We’ve been married a lot. First time was a civil ceremony in the Cotswolds. Then we went to our home in France and an Anglican minister I knew came over.

    ‘He was going to bless us but he did the whole thing again. This became a bit of a joke with our friends.

    ‘Oh yeah, we were filming on a cruise ship and the captain married us again. We’ve done four in all but now we want a Kiwi one.’

    In scenes to air on Noel’s Kiwi Adventures on ITV, he shares plans for renovations to his home, and fans can also watch his proposal after it was caught on camera.

    He said: ‘As you can see it is in desperate need of restoration. But my project, starting early next year is to restore it completely and then Liz and I will get married for a fifth time.’

    Noel continued to gush over Liz, explaining that the day they met ‘changed his life,’ and the pair appear excited to get married all over again.

    Noel previously revealed he is ‘not sure of the way forward’ after a flood ravaged his New Zealand estate.

    Anatural disaster on New Zealand’s South Island has left them unsure of the future after floodwater wrecked their stunning home and business.

    The Motueka river burst its banks last week following heavy rain and has flooded Tasman and Marlborough areas.

    Noel uploaded a video to YouTube detailing the impact it has had on the local land.

    He a cknowledged him, Liz and their team were ‘very fortunate’ and haven’t had any injuries or had their livelihood destructed.

    ‘As you can see it is in desperate need of restoration. But my project, starting early next year is to restore it completely and then Liz and I will get married for a fifth time.’

    The former Deal Or No Deal presenter stressed that ‘thousands of Kiwis on New Zealand’s south island have suffered in this terrible disaster’.

    ‘However, I can’t conceal the fact that Liz and I are in a state of shock and at this point we’re not quite sure of the way forward,’ Noel added.

    ‘You might have seen films of our beautiful vineyard setting in the Moteuka valley, however our river valley, our paradise now looks very different.’

    Video footage showed fast-flowing water gushing over the land.

    ‘We’ve spent the last three years creating a wonderful wellness centre, it was constructed in accordance to all of the local regulations, it was about 50m away from the river bank and some 10m above the normal water level,’ Noel explained.

    ‘However this is a quite extraordinary event and our wellness centre has taken the full brunt of the torrent.’

    Two of the estate’s treatment suites were left ‘wrecked’ and one was even ‘torn from its foundations’.

    While the main building is ‘covered in a thick layer of silt and mud’.

    Noel commented: ‘Three years of hard graft destroyed in just a few hours.’

    The TV star acknowledged the positivity of the local community and said: ‘I’m in total awe of the way in which our Kiwi neighbours have picked themselves up pulled together as a community.

    ‘You know Kiwis always say ‘Oh I’ll give it a go’. And I saw one interview where some people who had had their home washed away said ‘Well we’ll come back and we’ll rebuild our lives’.’

    However, the future still looks uncertain for Noel and his wife as they start to look at their next steps.

    ‘Liz and I are not feeling sorry for ourselves but I have to say, we’re not really sure of the way forward and there is one really important factor that is beyond our control,’ he explained.

    The foundations of the highway were damaged by the flood and restrictions on accessing it could cause issues to local businesses.

    ‘It’s fair to say Liz and I now have to review our three year venture and wonder about what the future holds,’ Noel said.

    This isn’t the first time Noel and Liz have had to deal with extreme weather in New Zealand.

    The TV star recalled one particular incident to The Sun and recounted how an earthquake ‘really shook the house’.

    He revealed they have experienced three earthquakes whilst living on the estate.

    Noel told the publication: ‘During the first one, we were sitting outside with a glass of wine, and I noticed the surface of the wine rippling.

    ‘That was a mild one.

    ‘The biggest one really shook the house — the cutlery drawer rattled, and Liz and I each grabbed a dog and ran outside.’

    Noel described the weather as having an ‘attitude’ because of how severe it can get.

    He recalled trees falling down in strong winds, ‘tropical rain’ and landslips.

    His new documentary, Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure, hit screens earlier this month on ITV and follows the couple as they navigate life together in New Zealand .

    The TV personality and radio presenter was best known for his stint hosting the Channel 4 game show from 2005 to 2016 when it ended, before its revival with Stephen Mulhern in 2023.

    But after more than 50 years on British TV and radio, Noel left the UK in 2018 with Liz to build a new life in New Zealand .

    They have now opened a hospitality business in the small rural, riverside town of Ngatimoti.

    ‘And I got this rub on the head and he said, ‘Hey buddy, don’t worry’.’

    Eamonn then demonstrated with Ellie what Donny did before adding: ‘Basically he says to me, ‘This happens to me all the time,’ he was probably fibbing but anyway he made me feel very good and I felt bad because when I was 14, I hated him.’

    The trio laughed and Ellie commented: ‘And he turned out to be really nice.’

    It comes as Eamonn recently did not hold back his thoughts on his former colleagues in the TV industry as he branded them ‘false’.

    The GB News star was joined by co-presenter Paul and tough guy actor Ray Winstone on the latest episode of his podcast Things We Like.

    During an open conversation, Ray spoke about his time living in Los Angeles and how the artificial buzz of Hollywood ultimately drove him back to the UK.

    He said: ‘I couldn’t live in LA, it’s constant,’ adding: ‘Even the guy who puts petrol in your car works in the industry. It’s like every two minutes, it’s all they want to talk about.

    ‘We talk about birds and football and boxing, you know, they talk about movies. Hollywood and Los Angeles are wonderful places when you’re doing alright, but when you’re not.’

    Eamonn jumped in to express his dislike for the fake relationships he has found in the entertainment industry.

    The presenter said in a mocking tone: ‘I don’t like this character, I don’t like so and so, I like that person, I didn’t get on with them’.’

    He went on: ‘That’s what the business is based on. I mean, I’m like you [Ray]. I get myself into trouble because if I don’t like someone, they’ll know I don’t like them.’

    He recalled an incident where he met the singer while he was having a nose bleed

    ‘And there are so many horrible people that you end up with. People say: ”Oh, he’s lovely, he’s fantastic’,’ he added.

    Sharing his candid views on celebrity genuineness, he said: ‘If they say to me: ‘What’s that Ray Winstone like?’

    ‘I’ll say he is lovely and he is fantastic and people will believe me because I wouldn’t say it if you weren’t, but so many are just false, false, false.’

    While all three men agreed on the issue, they stopped short of naming anyone directly connected to their views.

    One of the experts from the Repair Shop has announced a new project away from the BBC show. Dominic Chinea has shared his excitement over his latest TV role, with him said to be filming for it already amid a move with his family.

    Dominic, 39, who has been on the Repair Shop since 2017, previously announced that he would be relocating from Kent to Cornwall. The mechanic is making the move with his wife Maria Chinea and their dog Wendy.

    This week, it’s been announced that he will appear in the new factual series Dom Chinea’s Cornish Workshop for the channel U&YESTERDAY and its streaming platform U. Filming is underway on the five-part series, which is scheduled to air in the UK next year.

    It’s been teased that the show follows Dom as he “carves out a new life” in Cornwall after having bought a “rundown” farmhouse, with a two-acre field. The property includes a large agricultural barn that will become his Cornish Workshop.

    Viewers will see Dom carry out automotive, engineering and build work. He will also assist neighbours in his new community with their own projects, including helping his local church with their bells and a creating a bespoke ice cream vehicle for someone.

    It’s been announced that every episode “packs big and little stories” alongside Dominic creating his new workshop from an ancient barn. He’s said to enlist the support of Sam Lovegrove throughout the series, as well as a cast of local trades people.

    Dom said in a statement: “I’m so excited by the projects we’ve got going on. But on top of the engineering, I’ve also got to get my Cornish workshop built and weatherproof before the autumn storms hit. There’s a lot of pressure!”

    It comes after Dominic previously announced his relocation to Cornwall. He revealed just weeks ago that “a lot has changed” in his life and spoke further about the move in a Q&A video uploaded to his YouTube channel last month.

    He was asked about the move and shared his response in the video on his channel recently. Addressing a question about his decision to relocate with his family, he said: “Why not?”

    Dominic then spoke about the land that he had at his new home. He said: “Moving to Cornwall has meant I’ve got the house, a lovely field that I can turn into a nice garden, and most importantly a big barn that is now mine, that is my workshop.”

    He went on to say in the video that he had rented his previous workshop in Kent. Dominic told viewers that the new space would instead be his own.

    Dominic said: “Previously, I rented my old workshop, and every month was giving a lot of money to a landlord to rent the space. Now it’s my space, and whatever I do to it, it’s mine, and that is enough of a reason for me.”

    Loose Women and Lorraine replacements revealed – and ITV fans will be thrilled

    Lorraine and Loose Women were hit with major cuts from ITV bosses earlier this year, now it has been revealed which three shows will be picking up the slack.

    Three ITV daytime shows will be picking up the pieces in the wake of axed Loose Women and Lorraine episodes. Back in May, viewers were left gobsmacked when TV bosses revealed that two popular daytime shows had been pulled off the airwaves for half the year. But fans will be relieved to know that there are three popular shows that have been confirmed to return to our screens in the meantime.

    The Chase, Deal Or No Deal, and Tipping Point have even been given a “major boost” on the TV schedule according to The Sun, meaning new episodes will start filming later this year. Tipping Point – hosted by Ben Shephard, 50 – first launched onto our screens back in 2012 and has since aired 1,597 episodes across 14 series.

    But over the past year, no new instalments have been shot, leaving some fans worried that they were next to face the chop. However, it was confirmed that ITV had a number of unaired episodes which will hit the airwaves for the first time instead.

    Deal Or No Deal has been on our screens since 2005, and the show aired on Channel 4 until 2016. When the show returned in 2023, it started airing on ITV instead and is now hosted by Stephen Mulhern after taking over from Noel Edmonds.

    Fans will be happy to know that more episodes are set to be filmed later this year, btu another series will be released before that takes place. And The Chase, hosted by Bradley Walsh, 65, has had 18 successful regular series since it first hit the airwaves back in 2009.

    Bradley, and Chasers Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan, and Darragh Ennis are set to film new episodes of the show later this year.

    Meanwhile, Lorraine and Loose Women have been axed for half of the year and Lorraine’s runtime has been cut by 30 minutes after ITV Daytime bosses announced huge cuts, resulting in job losses in excess of 220.

    Host Lorraine Kelly faced the brunt of the cuts with Good Morning Britain now taking her hour-long slot for 22 weeks of the year. The remaining 30 weeks of the year, Lorraine will present five days a week, meaning her Friday stand-in hosts Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard are now no longer needed.

    Lorraine’s show has also been slashed in half, running for just 30 minutes from 9.30am to 10am. ITV sources previously told MailOnline that they have decided to cut resources on their daytime schedule so that the network can invest in more drama programmes.

    One source told the outlet: “There is a need to cost save but also so that the right money can go to the right shows and with everything getting more expensive these things have to be looked at. Christine and Ranvir remain part of the ITV daytime family.”

    Loose Women's Coleen Nolan breaks silence on heartbreaking death | HELLO!

    While Loose Women faces a half-year cut, leaving many presenters and crew in uncertainty, ITV unexpectedly gives a “major boost” to the schedules of three popular game shows: The Chase, Deal Or No Deal and Tipping Point.

    She admitted: “The crew have become family… They’re in limbo, not knowing what they’re going to do.”

    Coleen Nolan devastation as Loose Women ‘family’ ripped apart by ITV cuts

    Loose Women panellist Coleen Nolan has spoken out for the first time following the huge cuts ITV bosses have made to the daytime show.

    Coleen Nolan has opened up about the “devastating” impact the ITV cuts have had on the Loose Women “family” being ripped apart. It comes after it was revealed back in May that the daytime show and Lorraine, hosted by Lorraine Kelly, have been axed for half of the year, as the channel announce a big shake-up to its afternoon schedule.

    Both programmes will air for 30 weeks of the year from January 2026, which is a stark contrast to their current year-round schedules. Coleen has been a panelist on Loose Women since 2000, and now the mum-of-two has spoken out about how the changes have affected her.

    Speaking to The Mirror, she admitted: “The crew have become family. I’ve watched them grow. Some of our runners from back in the day are producers, married with kids. I’ve shared my life with them. They’re in limbo, not knowing what they’re going to do.

    “Loose Women isn’t ending, which I’m so thankful for, but it’s changing. It’s going to be very different in respect of the size of the crew, but it’s still running.

    “Which it should be – there isn’t another show that celebrates and supports all women of every size, age, whatever. But it’s heartbreaking to see some of my colleagues not knowing what they’re going to do. Many of them have young families and mortgage.”

    Coleen isn’t the first presenter to speak out as panellist Sue Cleaver, 61, broke her silence on the show changes last month. The former Corrie star exclusively told us: “We’ve been through it at Corrie as well and these are people’s lives, and I just feel very much for all the production and the crew because people are struggling.

    “It’s affecting young families and it’s obviously been a pretty hard time for people to hear that. But, you know, we have to just embrace change, and we’ll see what happens.”

    Nadia Sawalha, 60, has also shared her thoughts on the production cuts. Speaking alongside her husband Mark Adderley on the couple’s YouTube channel, she explained: “Do you know what? At the moment, all of us on screen are in work and are proud of what we do.

    “But behind the scenes, there are people that are really suffering and what you don’t realise is when you attack the show, you attack them, because you never see all the army of people behind the scenes and how hard they work.”

    Struggling to hold back her tears, Nadia went on: “So, to all my friends and colleagues behind the scenes who have just got a huge shock out of the blue: I’m so sorry. Mark knows how upset I’ve been at home about it. I just can’t bear it. So, just be f***ing kind to people.”

    On Friday (July 4), it was revealed that three ITV daytime shows have been recommissioned to fill the void left by the axed Loose Women and Lorraine episodes. The Chase, Deal Or No Deal, and Tipping Point have been given a “major boost” on the schedule and according to The Sun, new episodes will be filming later this year.

Many fans of a FOX News Media correspondent are wondering, who Aishah Hasnie’s husband is. We have to inform you that she is not married and has no children. But we are ready to tell you about Aishah Hasnie’s parents and siblings. Ready? Let’s go!

    Aishah Hasnie family members

    Who are Aishah Hasnie parents?

    Amjad Hasnie (father)

     Aishah Hasnie father

    Date of birth: March 31, 1955

    Aishah Hasnie maintains a warm relationship with her father. In one of her interviews, she confessed that her father taught her target shooting, and that was a great hobby they shared. Nowadays, the stellar TV host is thankful to her dad for everything he did for her.

    Her father’s name is Amjad Hasnie. He was born and raised in Lahore, Pakistan. Amjad is a middle child in his parents’ family. He grew up with 10 siblings. Amjad studied at a prestigious Junior Model High School in Lahore. In Pakistan, Amjad was a successful and well-respected person. He was involved in an oil business, and his lifestyle was wealthy enough. Still, he left Pakistan and started everything from scratch in the USA. He wanted his three kids to enjoy all that freedom and multiple opportunities this country offered to its citizens. Aishah was 6, when her parents moved their family to Bedford, Indiana.

    Amjad’s way to the USA was not easy, but interesting. His Pakistani degrees meant nothing in the USA. He started from odd jobs, like selling clothes at JCPenney men’s department. But later he expanded his education and got a degree at Indiana Wesleyan University. Then, he was employed as an engineer at General Motors. He worked there for decades.

    Nowadays, Amjad Hasnie is the biggest supporter of his daughter, whose job may sometimes be dangerous. Aishah covers the most complicated topics in the world as the Fox correspondent. She visited Taiwan and went to Poland to speak about the Ukrainian war there. And Amjad worried about her, but he never stopped his daughter on the way to her dream.

    Mr. Hasnie is not just a kind-hearted person and respectful engineer, but also a faithful husband to his wife Fozia, and a doting father of their three kids. Except for Aishah, he has a son Omar, and a daughter Afiah.

    Amjad also has a special hobby. He is a great pilot and likes operating a plane.

    Fozia Hasnie is a high school graduate. She was a technical worker before her retirement. Nowadays Fozia is a devoted mother and grandmother. She is very proud of Aishah, whom she calls “my angel”, for her kind heart and career achievements.

    Aishah Hasnie was born in Lahore, Pakistan, but at the age of 6, her parents moved her to Bedford, Indiana. She studied at Bedford North Lawrence High School. After that, she joined her peers at Indiana University.

    It’s interesting to know, that Aishah found her calling not immediately. At first, she studied Biology, but after a few classes Hasnie understood, that was not her cup of tea. She wrote for a college paper and soon felt that it was her vocation.

    Ms. Hasnie changed her writing for the role of a TV reporter after graduation. She visited her cousin, a famous correspondent Maira Ansari in Springfield, Illinois. Aishah watched Maira working at WICS-TV and immediately felt that she had to give it a try.

    Having started by her cousin’s side, soon Aishah found her voice. She was hired as an intern for GEO-TV in Pakistan. Hasnie went to her parents’ country to develop a free press there, which was not an easy task. Later Aishah returned to the USA.

    As the WANE-TV reporter in Fort Wayne, Indiana she contributed to “voyeurism law”. With Aishah’s assistance, it became stricter. At that time, she got an Emmy Award nomination.

    In 2011 Aishah was hired for FOX59. Having gained wide recognition in that position, the young and talented correspondent moved even further. In 2019 she moved to New York City and occupied the position of an overnight anchor at The Fox News Channel.

    Nowadays, Aishah Hasnie is an inseparable part of the Fox News family. She covers the most acute problems of modern society, like the COVID pandemic, the Taiwan crisis, and the Russian-Ukrainian war.
