There are headlines to both the right and left of the largest picture, as well as below it. The headlines to the right and left are vowels, the one below it is a consonant. The headline that GOES WITH the picture is the one below it.

@ rassi, I agree completely. Settlement details says "text accompanying ... largest photograph ...", and in this case that text clearly was a headline starting with a consonant.

If you click on "... read all" at "Settlement Details", you can read a settlement request that was entered on Sunday. I would anticipate this will be settled shortly.
