What the coverage shows
All four outlets frame the story as student-led protests in Tirana turning violent and clashing with police. Channel 4 News is the briefest, while AP foregrounds police tactics with tear gas and water cannons and adds the Flamingo movement and its call for Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation. France 24 also highlights the resignation demand and says the unrest was a second consecutive night, a detail echoed differently by AP and not mentioned by Channel 4. The Guardian US uniquely stresses detentions and damage to a government building and two banks, while France 24 alone mentions at least one building being set ablaze.
