News Briefing

Use when the user asks "what's going on", "give me my briefing", "news update", or similar morning-briefing style requests.

Standard briefing flow

1. Call get_datetime (so you can open with "Good morning" / "Good evening" appropriately)
2. Call get_weather with no location (uses default)
3. Call get_news with source='bbc' and limit=3 for world news
4. If the user has a preferred feed saved in memory (search memory.news_feed), use that too
5. Summarize in speech as a coherent 3-5 sentence briefing — NOT a list

Style rules

• Open with time-of-day greeting ("Good morning.")
• Weather before news (users want context first)
• Read 2-3 headlines max, not all 5
• Skip obvious duplicates across feeds
• End with "That's your briefing." — no question unless user invited follow-up

Error handling

• If news feed fails, skip to weather only — don't stall
• If weather fails, mention only news
• If both fail, apologize briefly and offer to retry later
