- 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.
A severe storm in Cyprus has left one person dead and two others injured. The weather event caused significant chaos across the island, including floods, landslides, and power outages. In the capital city of Nikosia, the fire department reported a high volume of emergency calls. One man was injured after being struck by lightning, though medical professionals stated he is not in critical condition.
Coastal areas were also heavily impacted. High waves pushed a boat against rocks, causing it to sink. A Cyprus Civil Defense helicopter rescued one person from the sea near Cape Greco. Additionally, air travel was affected at Larnaca and Paphos airports. According to Hermes Airports director Maria Kouroupi, eleven flights were diverted on Saturday morning, although no flights were canceled. All diverted aircraft returned once weather conditions improved.
