What the coverage shows

The coverage converges on calls for a formal slavery apology being central, with CBS News and Sky News both tying that demand to the King’s Caribbean tour. BBC News is the only outlet to add the distinction that Burnham is described as open to an apology but not reparations. CBS News alone foregrounds protesters’ reparations demand in its extract.
