Please paste the PBS article or its URL and add other sources (links or text) you want included; alternatively, tell me if you want me to gather publicly-available reporting myself and which outlets you prefer.

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.

The object {"properties": {"foo": ["bar", "baz"]}} is not well-formatted.
