I had the same problem guys, but I have found a solution to this today. Do as follows:
1. Open launcher
2. Click on your email on top-right and choose change language.
3. Change it from "System language" to "English" as an example of my instance but you can choose any other preferred.
4. The launcher will restart and will load the news page properly.
My system language is indeed English and I do not know why is that causing the problem with the news page, but as I have done this fix... the problem is no more.
