Perhaps the BBC spoke to someone at Google who said the news feed would be available via the web – à la https://news.google.com https://news.google.com or https://newsstand.google.com/ https://newsstand.google.com/ – which the reporter misunderstood to mean Google.com itself would display the news feed? It just seems anomalous that such a great change would be announced with so little fanfare (a single sentence in the article). I need to see confirmation before I believe it.
