Headline check

The one thing this headline claims is in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. One claim in this headline could be checked, so this is a narrow pass and not a thorough one. How this is checked

Five moon bears that spent decades living in cages in South Korea have arrived at their new home in Suffolk.

Jimmy's Farm & Wildlife Park near Ipswich and its charity, Space for the Wild, transported the animals 5,500 miles to their new forever home at the park.

The bears had been kept at one of South Korea's last bear bile farms – sites which have now been banned in the country.

Jimmy Doherty, founder of the wildlife park, said the bears would now live a "profoundly better life".

The rescued bears - Bara, Rumi, Saebit, Yonggi and Huimang - are enjoying a new reserve at the park created specifically for them.

Rescued bears cleared for 5,500-mile Suffolk flight.

You are reading our version, not theirs. This is BBC News (Science and Environment)'s report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
