Dislike layout of iPad iOS 12 Apple NEWS app

[Moi Ici]

in horizontal mode (my preferred way to use my iPad) the side bar now takes up 1/4 of the screen. I can’t find a way to make it make side bar disappear. It works as usual in portrait mode with the ability to slide the side bar away or make it reappear. Am I missing something or is that the new horizontal mode?

Yes this is my only problem with the Ios12 update, it is horrible. It’s a complete waste of space and unnecessary.
