Story summary

A German tourist is missing in Bali, Indonesia, after a landslide struck the Eco Park Pelaga Glamping Retreat in Petang district late Sunday night, November 6, around 11pm. Heavy rains earlier that day caused the landslide, which led to three tents collapsing and a fourth tent falling into the Tukad Yeh Kilap River and being swept away. The glamping resort sits on a steep cliff beside the river and houses 25 tents across a 4-hectare (10-acre) property. An operator of the resort reported that two men might have been in the tent that fell into the river, but it is not confirmed if both were inside or if only one person was missing.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
