Hi Igor,

As the site has just been launched, changes are still being made by our IT partner. You should be able to access all the International news channels (European news and News focus) now.

Looks great! well done.
Much more user-friendly. I've using the site for years and didn't know you had all of the different areas. The left menu is great.

ps- You shouldn't force people to add their email address to these posts. I see that the email gets posted right in the thread here for all the spam bots to see. I have used a fake address avoid getting flooded with spam from having my email address publicly posted on your website.
