Belgian police respond to 'troublemakers' on sidelines of main rally with tear gas, water cannon and baton charges.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the same broad picture of a large anti-austerity protest in Brussels that turned into clashes with police. Al Jazeera foregrounds the police response, saying officers used tear gas, water cannon and baton charges against “troublemakers” on the sidelines of the main rally. Fox News instead emphasizes masked agitators and frames the march as part of Belgium’s austerity measures and cost of living crisis.
