What the coverage shows
All outlets converge on the consulate staying open in some form and being renamed or rebranded as a UK mission, with several noting that most diplomats will leave or that the presence will be reduced. The Guardian frames the story as a retreat from a full diplomatic confrontation, while Sky News and BBC foreground the uncertainty over the status and the departure of diplomats. Al Jazeera is the only outlet to note signs being removed from the building, and the New York Times alone describes the coverage as a last-minute deal.
