What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn Tirana tonight, student-led protesters clashed with Albanian police for a third day running, as part of a wider anti-government movement that began over a major development project.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThree days in a row. That's a winning streak, and I'd say the police are the home side.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt is not a league, Hank. It is a government that has been told, repeatedly and in person, that its building plans are unpopular.
