LIVE: Anti-government protests in Albania sparked by Jared Kushner-linked project
Tirana drew the largest audience. Associated Press's live coverage of student-led anti-government demonstrations was its most-watched new upload, reaching about 171,000 views in eight hours.
AP reports that demonstrators clashed with police for a third consecutive day in Albania's capital, joining a broader movement launched in opposition to a major development project linked to Jared Kushner. The livestream also carries the most daily viewing momentum on the channel, followed by a very different kind of field report from Ukraine.
For that dispatch, AP's Vasilisa Stepanenko gained exclusive access to a demonstration of StarGate, a medical evacuation drone developed by Ukrainian defense technology company SkyFall to transport wounded soldiers. A report on fired FBI employees suing to regain their jobs is another of the channel's busiest uploads right now.
There was room for a smaller-scale New York discovery, too: barn owls nesting in a water tower near Central Park. In Joseph B. Frederick's report, an expert describes it as the first documented instance of barn owls nesting in Manhattan in modern history. An Upper West Side rooftop makes a distinctive addition to a news week otherwise dominated by governments and conflict.
Across the channel, weekly views approached 20 million, the largest total among its nearby broadcaster peers, with NowThis Impact also having a substantial week. AP added subscribers over the seven days, while daily viewing is running noticeably above its usual pace.
