Hello,
Since the News Sitemap feature is a PRO feature, please share the email address you used to purchase the PRO plan so we can verify it first.
As for the issue, we checked your website and we do notice that the latest news isn’t indexed well:

However, if you individually check them, they are indexed just fine on Google as you can see from the screenshot below:

In this case, your recent news article isn’t ranking well.
Please note that ranking on SERP depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you:
1. Your website’s authority
2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
3. How competitive the keyword is.
4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
5. Your website’s crawlability.
6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂 https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
Thanks for sharing the pointers. Yes, we do are ranking on google search but not on google news and google news has an insane amount of quick traffic.
