Walmart is reverting to 24-hour operations
Publisher’s rating: False
The review says a viral social media post falsely claimed Walmart was resuming 24-hour operations. It reports that Walmart’s global communications director confirmed the company had no current plans to return to 24-hour store hours; stores had reduced their hours in 2020.

Publisher’s rating: صحيح جزئيًا
The review explains that Lebanese law provides special procedures for distressed banks, including intervention, restructuring and, if necessary, liquidation. Those mechanisms aim to protect depositors, but they do not guarantee full repayment: deposits may remain partly unpaid if the bank’s recoverable assets and other available funds are insufficient.

“Around 50%” of fast food deliveries are carried out by illegal workers
Publisher’s rating: Evidence on the exact number of delivery drivers operating illegally is scarce. Figures from the Home Office and media reports suggest some workers have been found to be working illegally, with one article saying that 42% of riders stopped during one enforcement operation in 2023 did not have correct documentation. Reform did not provide a source to support its figure.

Das ist eine echte «heute»-Sendung, in der über einen echten Dialog von Markus Lanz und Florence Gaub über ein Investment berichtet wird.
Publisher’s rating: Das Video ist manipuliert. Statt über Investments geht es bei Lanz in Wahrheit über die Ukraine. Auch der «heute»-Beitrag ist gefälscht. Die Stimmen und Lippenbewegungen wurden mutmaßlich mit KI-Werkzeugen verändert.
The purported investment conversation and the «heute» report are fabricated: the video uses manipulated audio and lip movements. The footage comes from a real Lanz episode about the war in Ukraine, not investment advice.
