The video is a fabrication. Al Jazeera has not published any investigation on this topic. In reality, UK, France, and Germany have led an international coalition countering Iran's blockade and pushing for the restoration of freedom of navigation.
Fake: 'Ukrainians Commit One Third of All Sexual Crimes Against Women in Europe and the UK - Eurostat.' Eurostat or any other credible source published no such data. Propagandists fabricated the video, and the figures it contains are made up.
Does a viral image of world leaders showing their middle fingers as an act of apparent disagreement with U.S. President Donald Trump show a real 2026 TIME Magazine cover? No, that's not true: The magazine's website did not contain such a cover. The image displayed shows signs strongly pointing to generative AI.
WHAT WAS CLAIMED: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer posted a statement on X saying that American forces must withdraw from UK airbases within 48 hours and pay historic rent if the United States ends its commitment to NATO.
VERDICT: False. The image of the post is fabricated and originally came from a satirical social media account. No such statement has been published on Keir Starmer's genuine X account or made publicly by him.
Claim: The image shows NSA Ajit Doval meeting Mikhail Khodorkovsky in London. Mikhail is a Putin critic and an exiled Russian oligarch.
Fact: The claim is false. The image has been generated using AI.
Several pro-Russian websites have reported that two British army officers were captured by Russian special forces during a raid into Ukraine. It turns out, however, that the story is false and the photos meant to show the captured soldiers were generated by artificial intelligence. But that hasn't stopped this fake news item from being spread in at least 13 countries.
A demonstrably made-up story of British military officers being "captured" during a Russian raid in Ukraine has spread online this week, even being repeated by former British lawmakers. DW takes a look.
The narrative is riddled with distortions and falsehoods: none of the cited artifacts belong to the Ukrainian state.
There is no evidence online of the existence of such a lot. Moreover, the photo was shared only by Russian resources.
In reality, the visa center, which helps to obtain visas to the UK, has long since moved to another address. As a result of the Russian shelling, the building where it is currently located was not damaged, and it continues to operate. This visa center is a commercial structure and is formally in no way connected with the British government.
