Global News Map shows the wars and armed conflicts in the news on a live globe: who is fighting, who is backing whom, where attacks are landing and what it is doing to people.
Every hour, reports from established outlets (BBC, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, DW, CBC, NPR, the UN, the Red Cross and more) are read and turned into the map. Every attack and development links to its source article, with a label explaining whether it has been checked against that article. Casualty figures include checked quotes and their sources.
