Nice work. Looks good!

A couple of things I noticed

• Your class and ID names could be more descriptive. I was a bit confused when seeing item-a, item-b etc, as its hard to know what they actually relate to. This is something I need to work on a bit too!
• The font of Inter is not being applied. I personally have only used the <link> method with external style sheets, so am not as familiar with the @import method, but from checking your code, you have not applied the font anywhere. You could try adding font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; to the body to start with, bearing in mind that some elements such as buttons do not inherit the font property. For those you can set font-family: inherit;
• I don't think the news links were meant to be collapsible based on the design, but it would definitely be a nice addition and something new to learn. Here is a link on collapsible elements: W3schools-How TO - Collapse
• The hover states for news links are working nicely :) You just need to do the same for the other links in the menu, and then "top stories" at the bottom + the read more button should change color on hover too. Double check the design images again to see the exact active states.

Hope this helps a little :)
