How this is made: each entry is a cluster of GDELT 2.0 machine coded news events. An automated check reads the article headlines and keeps an incident only when they describe that kind of event in that place, so misplaced reports and ordinary crime are left out. The one line summaries are written automatically from those headlines and are not edited by hand; follow the links for the reporting itself. Times are Eastern. The same incidents are on the live globe with NASA satellite heat, military aircraft and geolocated footage.
