» As a woman, I am happy to hear that Gina Haspel has been nominated by US President Donald Trump as the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Currently the CIA deputy chief, she has been tipped to succeed Mike Pompeo, who is to replace the ousted secretary of state Rex Tillerson. If confirmed by the Senate, Ms Haspel would become the first woman to lead the country's spy agency.
