news widget in iphone ioqd disspoeared

I had a chat with Apple support and they confirmed that the widget is only supported now in Canada, the US, the UK and australia. They advised me to share my feedback in this via the following link; https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-news/ 

. I was using it every hour of the day to keep up with the most recent news! Miss it so much!
