Answer 1

Inside the if statement you declare a brand-new variable link1 that only exists inside that if statement. Change
if arrayOfSorces[indexPath.item] == arrayOfSorces[0]{
var link1 = "https://newsapi.org/v2/everything?sources=bbc-news&apiKey=a9ea5ee627044bd98bdfe8daf6543d92"
RunLink()
}
To
if arrayOfSorces[indexPath.item] == arrayOfSorces[0]{
link1 = "https://newsapi.org/v2/everything?sources=bbc-news&apiKey=a9ea5ee627044bd98bdfe8daf6543d92"
RunLink()
}
(Get rid of the var. That creates a new variable rather than changing the value that's in the existing variable.)
