What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story as ongoing anti-government unrest in Albania, and both mention that student-led protests have grown into clashes with police. BBC News emphasizes the duration and spread of the demonstrations, saying they continue for a fourth day and have seen attacks on buildings, while AP foregrounds a live, unfolding scene in Tirana and uniquely notes the so-called flamingo movement and calls for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign.
