AI Summary:
Blaise Metreweli will take over from Richard Moore to become MI6’s 18th leader. The agency’s chief, referred to as "C", is the only publicly named member of the organisation. MI6 is the final British intelligence agency to appoint a woman as its leader. Stella Rimington led MI5 from 1992 to 1996 and Eliza Manningham-Buller later ran it. In 2023, Anne Keast-Butler became the first female head of the electronic and cyber-intelligence agency GCHQ. Boelter was arrested after an extensive manhunt on Sunday in a rural area of Sibley County, southwest of Minneapolis. He is also suspected of shooting and injuring Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette at their residence. Authorities received a report of a person in the woods and launched a search using a helicopter. US Senator Amy Klobuchar shared a statement from Yvette Hoffman on social media. "John is enduring many surgeries right now and is closer every hour to being out of the woods," Hoffman said.

That's a web scraper issue related to this specific source. If you make a pull request I would be very appreciative.

Happy to if that will help, but this isn't anything that I have done before, so I don't really know what would be involved. Could you give me a little more detail on what I need to do?

In the scrape_content function in the https://github.com/muntedcrocodile/ai_news_bot/blob/main/src/content_scaper.py file the page.content() will have the text of multiple articles of text in it.

Its an intermittent issue so very hard to debug. I tried to fix it myself and gave up.

If u don't have any programming experience it might be very hard to solve so Idk if that's something you wanna sign up for.

The last coding that I did was back in the '90s, so I'm going to pass on that then.
