Headline check

All two things this headline claims are in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. How this is checked

This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 286-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.

No other newsroom we read has filed on this event, so there is nothing to compare it with yet.
