Watch live from Tirana as protests grow against Albania's government. Students have joined the so-called flamingo movement that has rallied for months for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign. The demonstrations turned violent Wednesday with fires set and clashes with police.

What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story as anti-government student protests in Albania, with Reuters, BBC News and AP each emphasizing that the demonstrations have turned violent. Reuters gives the fullest scene-setting, describing thousands marching in Tirana and mentioning broken windows and traffic lights, while AP is the only outlet to note the so-called flamingo movement and that the rallies have lasted for months. BBC’s headline is the briefest, simply foregrounding the violence.
