You know Ian Traynor, Foofie?
If that's the name of the newcaster, I wasn't aware. I just watch the newscast on tv when I can, because I like the "special report" the program has in the last half, of the half-hour, that is usually highlighting an interesting subject. Much less "dry" news than the BBC broadcast.
I also like the weather report for all of Europe. I like to compare it to the weather in the U.S.
I'm not sure why, but I find this newscast "friendlier" than the BBC broadcast, perhaps because the viewer gets the news without the "pointed questions" that the BBC newscaster occasionally has with a news personality. That is sort of adversarial, I believe.
The "focus" of the Deutsche Welle news is based more on how the people are living, I believe. Less on political leaders. A more interesting and pleasant newscast, in my opinion.
