What the coverage shows

All five outlets lead with a train collision in Spain and use broadly the same core framing of death toll and high-speed rail. France 24, CBS News, CNBC, and Newsweek all stick to at least 10 dead and attribute the figure to reports, while The Independent is the only one to headline 39 dead. France 24 alone mentions service suspension, CBS News alone says local media reported the trains were traveling in the same direction, and Newsweek uniquely adds a comparison to a January Spain crash.
