Not yet confirmed against a primary source

• ITV reports the 76-year-old man was 'charged' with concealing identity; all other outlets report he was 'arrested on suspicion of' wearing or using an item to conceal identity. Confirm whether formal charges have been filed or if ITV's headline misstates the legal status at time of publication.
• Confirm whether the 33-year-old was arrested for obstructing a highway alone, or for both obstructing a highway and criminal damage to a police vehicle. Inews body text mentions both offences in separate sentences, and one refers to an unnamed officer's statement; Standard lists only obstructing a highway. Hampshire Police statement would clarify.
