Business section correction
In a June 22 business report on tech startups, the article stated that a prominent venture capital firm invested £50 million in a London-based AI company. The correct figure is £15 million, as confirmed by the firm's spokesperson. The error has been rectified in the online version.
Science and environment update
A science article on June 21 about deforestation in the Amazon included a statistic that 30% of the rainforest had been lost since 1970. The accurate figure, according to recent satellite data, is 20%. The correction has been noted in the article.
