Tens of thousands protest against Spain's housing crisis
Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Spanish cities in protest at the country's housing crisis in the wake of the forcible eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal.
What the coverage shows
All six outlets foreground the scale of the protests and the housing crisis, with Reuters, AP, France 24 and The Guardian US also tying the demonstrations to parliament rejecting housing measures. Sky News is the only outlet to single out the forcible eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal as the immediate context, while BBC News alone says more than 50 protests took place on Saturday.
