Algeria introduces death penalty for arsonists after deadly wildfires

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Algeria’s move to impose the death penalty in response to arson tied to the wildfires, but they differ in emphasis. BBC News foregrounds the policy change and adds only that more than 200 people are estimated to have died in the summer blazes in the north-east. Al Jazeera focuses on the bill passing the lower house and, uniquely in its extract, says human rights organisations accused Algiers of using the law to target political opposition groups.
