Here's an excerpt of the first paragraphs from the first 4 stories on bbc.com/news:
"China will increase military spending by more than 7% this year, while warning of 'escalating' threats."
"Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has asked for forgiveness from the families of the 57 victims of this week's train crash."
"Nations have reached a historic agreement to protect the world's oceans following 10 years of negotiations."
"Thousands of people have been left without shelter after a massive fire broke out in a crowded Rohingya refugee camp in southeastern Bangladesh."
Not a fan of a real ticker as opposed to a flipper since it can be distracting but several flips dedicated to the same news item to provide more details has been done before on other news channels.
