present simple tense for past events
The present tense is

quick and current, and helps to emphasise the action happening, rather than its completion.
Parliament confirms new stray dog policy
Lion escapes zoo
If we want to demonstrate the result of an action, or that something was completed, we can use perfect tenses, and for changing events, the present continuous may be used. However, these tenses are often shown by using participles alone.

passive structures, auxiliary verbs are not necessary. This makes

some headlines appear to be in the past tense, when actually the headlines use past participles, or particles, not the past simple. Similarly, changing events are represented by the present participle on its own.
New policy decided by Parliament (New policy has been decided by Parliament)
Temperatures rising as climate changes (temperatures are rising)

Parliament to decide new policy tomorrow
President to visit France for further talks

hikes Alps for charity (The Prime Minister hiked the

Alps)
Man releases rabid dog in park (A man released a rabid dog in a park)

Residents unhappy about new road (residents are unhappy)

Fire in bakery: hundreds dead
As

with reporting speech, commas, colons, semi-colons, hyphens and so on can replace all conjunctions, or some joining verbs, to join clauses. Commas may also be used to join nouns (more common in American English).
8. Use figures for numbers
7 days to Christmas – shoppers go mad

At least 39 people were killed and nearly 100

injured when a Russian express train came off the rails last night in what is being investigated as a bomb attack.
