For the record

• An article misnamed the CNN journalist Kaitlan Collins as Katie Collins (What happens when leaders disregard the truth? Putin and Trump are about to find out, 14 May, p41).

• The Met Office Hadley Centre is not part of the University of Exeter as an article said due to an error introduced during editing (Climate deniers target scientists with vicious abuse on Musk’s Twitter, 14 May, p22).

• The main text of a news feature (Autistic, 18, and given 28 days to find a place to live when his care home shut, 14 May, p25) correctly referred to Outcomes First as the company involved in the care of a teenager; however, it was misnamed “First Options” in an accompanying picture caption.

Riders, published in 1985, was Jilly Cooper’s first Rutshire Chronicles book, but it was not her debut novel as an article said (Me snobby? Never, hints saucy Sunak, 14 May, p39).

• A photograph of the 1971 Glastonbury festival (The big picture, 14 May, New Review, p3) was presented alongside wording that said Nicolas Roeg’s documentary film of that event “never got made”; in fact the film, Glastonbury Fayre, was released in 1973.

• Eswatini was referred to by its former name, Swaziland, in an article about coronation protesters (‘Not my king,’ they chanted. Then the police took their megaphones, 7 May, p4).

• The pre-printed Observer Food Monthly included with today’s paper is issue No 264, not No 255 as it says on the cover.

• Other recently amended articles include:
