another solution, change UI, gluexml to hide news, seems more complicated, and may break compatibility with other modifications I couldn't find the address in the exe to change it. Perhaps it will be possible to change only gluexml as a modification
The news section usually does not work on private servers. And it just distracts every time you start the game.
