News Summary

Pulls headlines from BBC, Reuters, NPR, and Al Jazeera RSS feeds and formats them into categorized summaries by region or topic. The workflow is straightforward: grep the XML for titles and descriptions, clean it up with sed, then present it as either text or generate an audio briefing with OpenAI's TTS API. It defaults to BBC world news but lets you mix in other sources for balance. The voice option is a nice touch if you want a morning briefing you can actually listen to while making coffee. Keeps things to five to eight stories max, which feels about right for staying informed without drowning in headlines. The bash parsing is basic but gets the job done without external dependencies.
