Europe protests: Unrest spreads to Germany, Portugal and Switzerland
Looting, clashes with police, hundreds of arrests: many of yesterday's cost of living protests across Europe descended into unrest for a third weekend in a row. Rioters wearing masks attacked police and looted shops in Frankfurt - including a gun store.
Channel 4 News
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as protests spreading across Europe with unrest in Germany and Portugal, but they differ in emphasis. Newsweek foregrounds U.S. travel warnings and caution for Americans, while Channel 4 News focuses on the unrest itself, adding details about looting, clashes, arrests and, uniquely in its extract, a gun store in Frankfurt.
