- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Persistent heat and a lack of rain are putting pressure on water supplies across many regions. In Munich, the Isar river has reached water levels that are among the lowest seen in years. This drop in water has exposed gravel banks and turned an island into a walkable peninsula. While these areas were originally intended as retreats for animals, visitors have begun using them to spread out towels.
