I so agree with this. On mobile the BBC "Breaking News" popover is particularly annoying as you screen real estate is at such a premium and there's no keyboard to dismiss it.

The best solution I've come up with is immediately reloading the page in the hope that there's a cookie to stop the "Breaking News" showing again.

I'll just add, really like the new update. The new page feels much better (and the old one is really good already).
