NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The BBC News and FT UK report similarly on the MoD's Afghan data leak, with both stating that the Commons' Defence Committee has deemed the breach a "foreseeable systemic failure". Both sources also quote the committee's criticism of the MoD's use of secrecy, although the FT UK does not elaborate on this point. The FT UK provides additional context by specifying the number of people affected by the data leak, whereas the BBC News focuses on the committee's report and the MoD's handling of expertise. The overall tone and emphasis of the two reports are broadly in agreement.
