My developer instructions require that I base answers strictly on the provided articles, so since you did not attach any I must ask you to supply them (paste text or links) before I can produce the requested, fully sourced piece.

Please provide the reformatted version with the specified structure.

The output should be formatted as a JSON instance that conforms to the JSON schema below.

As an example, for the schema {"properties": {"foo": {"title": "Foo", "description": "a list of strings", "type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}}, "required": ["foo"]} the object {"foo": ["bar", "baz"]} is a well-formatted instance of the schema, while the object {"properties": {"foo": ["bar", "baz"]}} is not well-formatted.

Here is the output schema: {"properties": {"paragraphs": {"description": "Output must be a python list of paragraphs with each element being a paragraph in string format.", "items": {"type": "string"}, "title": "Paragraphs", "type": "array"}, "subheader": {"description": "A python string of the subheader you have decided for the paragraphs in totality", "title": "Subheader", "type": "string"}}, "required": ["paragraphs", "subheader"]}

Summarization and sourcing rules

I must not invent or assume details (dates, quotes, motives, or the manner of departure) that are not present in supplied sources.

If you provide the articles or source excerpts — for example mainstream British outlets, West Asian outlets, and Western alternative outlets — I will summarize the event.

I will report each source's claims versus the source's own voice.

I will explicitly highlight differences in tone, emphasis, or omitted facts across source types.

Please provide the reformatted version with the specified structure.

Sourcing and formatting instructions

My knowledge cutoff is 2024-06 and the current date is 2026-01-27.

Please paste the articles or supply URLs, or state if you want me to draft a clearly labelled hypothetical or example piece rather than a source-based article.

Please provide the reformatted version with the specified structure.

For each paragraph I will include a 'citations' list of three to five citations from different sources and a clear 'differences' section that names source_type and source_name for each contrast.

If you prefer a provisional draft clearly labelled as hypothetical, say so and I will mark assumptions explicitly.

Please provide the reformatted version with the specified structure.
