Russian Telegram channels are circulating a fake BBC screenshot claiming UK’s chief rabbi has called for mosques to be closed.
The first time @Shayan86 and I have seen channels routinely churning out imposter fakes like this post about the disorder in the UK.

In one video, a person in the crowd can be heard shouting a racist slur and the word "foreigners" is used. In another video someone shouts "get them". @Shayan86 @KayleenDevlin

This viral image purporting to be leaked Twitter/ X code stemming from the url "protected-users.twitter.okta[dot]com" is fake. An Okta spokesperson told me, "We can confirm that this is definitely an invalid url and we confirm the screenshot is fake."

This video, viewed over 400,000 times, claims to show footage of an alleged retaliatory attack by Israel in Isfahan, Iran, today.
But the same video was posted yesterday, claiming to show missiles fired from Lebanon landing in northern Israel.

IAEA can confirm that there is no damage to #Iran’s nuclear sites. DG @rafaelmgrossi continues to call for extreme restraint from everybody and reiterates that nuclear facilities should never be a target in military conflicts. IAEA is monitoring the situation very closely.

BBC Verify has analysed media reports, eyewitness accounts, local/military officials statements to build a picture of the rise in aerial attacks both on #Kyiv and across #Ukraine since the start of 2023
Great piece by @KayleenDevlin & Adam Robinson

NEW: last week a group of US hardline conservatives brought the National Conservatism conference to London. It fell completely flat. Why?
Because Britain and America are completely different societies.
Key chart: UK Cons are *way* more liberal than US Reps on ~every measure.

New footage from the cafe where pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky was killed has fueled speculation Darya Trepova knew there would be an explosion. But what does the video actually show? Latest from me with @joshcheetham @Danict89 @SoyaInk @Jacqui_Galvin bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-…

Genuinely forensic journalism - insiders + experts for months have warned Twitter changes might lead to a rise in harmful content.
Now my brilliant colleagues have quantified that rise - including in hate and child sexual exploitation which breaches even Twitter's current rules
A while ago me & some colleagues went through over 1100 big Twitter accounts reinstated post Musk. We wanted to see who was coming back & whether a general amnesty translated into better behaviour on return. We found an interesting mix of results 1/7 bbc.co.uk/news/technology-64…
