Unable to fetch news

See original GitHub issue

Problem: I am not able to fetch news in a Jupyter notebook, e.g. from Briefing.com

import datetime
from ib_insync import *

util.startLoop()
ib = IB()
ib.connect('127.0.0.1', 4001, clientId=1)
# connected

br=Contract(symbol="BRFG:BRFG_ALL", exchange="NEWS",conId="100283238")
cd=ib.reqContractDetails(br)
md=ib.reqMktData(br,"292")

ValueError: time data ‘2020-06-16 12:00:28.0’ does not match format ‘%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S’

Thank you for the report. It seems that IB has decided to use a different format for the datetime.

The util.parseIBDatetime function has been updated to account for this.
