What the coverage shows

Both outlets center Russian plague reports and the official response, but they frame the story differently. France 24 foregrounds Moscow’s line that the “situation [is] under control” and says post-mortem tests did not detect plague; the Washington Post instead leads on U.S. officials seeking more details about the reported death and quarantines. Only France 24’s extract mentions the named technician and the specific denial.
