Those are 5 top headlines from various sources. They may or may not include the top 5 headlines you need to start the day with. To get them, you’d need some work of curation, either by AI or (probably better) by humans. I’d rather suggest one of the countless daily morning newsletters that give you a heads up of what’s going on in the world with links to read more. There are also podcasts that do the same. I can’t suggest anything in English but in Italian there’s the 'Good Morning Italia' newsletter and the 'Morning' podcast from Il Post. The latter does a good job trying to actually explain and give context on the current news rather than just repeating the headlines.

The Week (UK/US) has a briefing "10 things you need to know today" that works similarly. They presented 10 news (mainly US-based) and a short snippet of the content, with the links to news sources they used. [1] is an example of the latest edition. I used to have it saved to my Pocket daily using IFTTT, but since I left IFTTT for awhile back, I don't have a reliable way to get it pushed to me every day. Fortunately, they have a newsletter that will send just that to my inbox, so it works out somewhat.

  Number 10 for March 6, 2022 is a piece from the Huffington Post about SNLs cold open. I'll never understand how something like this makes a Top 10 list of things I need to know today.

    At least the UK edition https://www.theweek.co.uk/daily-briefing https://www.theweek.co.uk/daily-briefing doesn't feature that... though it has other items that you might feel are similarly unnecessary.

  Even more minimal is "EZ News" by Alex Kras, it's 85 lines of PHP: https://www.alexkras.com/eznews/ https://www.alexkras.com/eznews/

In German I’d recommend “was jetzt” from Zeit.de
