Are the accompanying videos on NHK easy news also toned down?

I'm planning to start reading nhk easy news every day, and I'm wondering if the videos that are with the articles supposed to also be "easy" japanese? I'm not sure if my listening is just that trash, but following along with the video is like 100x harder than reading the articles. For the most part, the article I just read was pretty easy. But the video was very fast and seemed to use way more vocabulary than what was in the article.
