a) Social and cultural circumstances effect audience interpretation due to the headline of 'Ignoring the danger'. It provokes the idea amongst society of fear amongst the public due to the consistent message on the page of the new covid variant. The repetition of the colour red fits the ideology of the British public as to death and danger.

The article is also used to influence readers to turn against the prime minister as there is the negative portrayal on the testing rules on incomings from China and also a picture of what Italy is doing with Chinese incomings which is more protective than the current UK strategy. The circumstances also grow fear in people as they don't want another Covid outbreak such as 2020 and the lockdowns that followed.
One feature of the times as a traditional broadsheet newspaper is they will generally have more of an opinion on politics or financial and economic situations which is highlighted by the main text on the front cover referring to the recent strike action that has been occurring in the UK. Many tabloid newspapers would focus on Pele's death and even though the times sheds some light on the news, their priority is more on the financial implications that the strikes will have on the government.
