“£400m cost of savings scandal”

“A.I. bot told teen to use a hammer to kill his mother”

“DO YOUR DUTY”
Framing: The paper frames the story as a direct, imperative demand addressed to Prince Andrew, amplifying a US politician's call for him to cooperate with the Epstein investigation. The use of an enormous, second-person headline turns a political quote into a direct challenge from the newspaper itself.

“The deadly mines at the heart of Trump’s bid to profit from Africa”
Framing: The paper frames the story as a critical investigation into US foreign policy, directly connecting the US president's commercial ambitions to severe human rights and safety abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The focus is placed heavily on the human cost of geopolitical economic strategies.

“I WILL PROTECT SAFE SPACES FOR WOMEN”

“Kremlin bolsters Iran's war effort by shipping drones, medicines and food”
Framing: The paper presents the deepening Russia-Iran alliance as a significant geopolitical shift, focusing calmly on intelligence findings and the specific material nature of the supplies.
