URL no longer working due to cookie consent page

[murnanedaniel]

Running

google_news = GNews(period = "1d")
results = google_news.get_news("russia")

gives results such as

[{'title': "Russia Is Gaining Influence in Africa, at West's Expense - Foreign Policy",
  'description': "Russia Is Gaining Influence in Africa, at West's Expense  Foreign Policy",
  'published date': 'Sat, 18 Mar 2023 07:00:00 GMT',
  'url': 'https://consent.google.com/m?continue=https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiYmh0dHBzOi8vZm9yZWlnbnBvbGljeS5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8xOC9ydXNzaWFuLW1lcmNlbmFyaWVzLWFyZS1wdXNoaW5nLWZyYW5jZS1vdXQtb2YtY2VudHJhbC1hZnJpY2Ev0gEA?oc%3D5&gl=DK&m=0&pc=n&cm=2&hl=en-US&src=1',
  'publisher': {'href': 'https://foreignpolicy.com/',
   'title': 'Foreign Policy'}},
...

Where the URL now directs to a cookie consent screen:

Is there a way to consent to the cookies somehow?

I've done something like this if it helps anyoane . I've found the answer on stack overflow :

    primary_url = primary_url.decode()
    return primary_url
