Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Rescue teams in Algeria have recovered the body of a 10 year old boy named Ayoub who fell into a dry artesian well in the province of el-Bayadh. The recovery ended a four day operation that involved the mobilization of all available human and material resources by civil protection, local authorities, and security personnel. The incident occurred in the village of Errokn, in the municipality of Ghassoul, when the child stepped on a wooden board covering the well opening and fell approximately 80 meters deep. Because rescuers could not descend directly into the shaft, they dug a parallel shaft to reach the boy through a horizontal passage. This process was complicated by hard rock layers and loose soil. Local residents gathered at the site to support the family during the operation. The event has sparked a public debate in Algeria regarding the safety and regulation of unsecured wells in rural areas.
