Publisher’s rating: False
Poutine a signé un décret rendant illégale la vente de l'Alaska aux États-Unis. Le territoire doit être déclaré occupé.
Publisher’s rating: Le décret relayé sur les réseaux sociaux concerne les biens immobiliers détenus par la Russie, l'ancien empire russe et l'ex-Union soviétique à l'étranger. Le texte ne mentionne l'Alaska, ni la vente de l'ancien territoire russe nulle part. L'allusion à l'Etat américain relève de pures spéculations.

ZDF en NOS gebruikten een gemanipuleerd beeld van de betoging tegen het AfD, waarop mensen in de Alster staan.
Publisher’s rating: Er werden geen foto's gemanipuleerd. Het feit dat de rivier de Kleine Alster amper zichtbaar is in verschillende foto's heeft te maken met het perspectief en de hoek van de camera.
Saddam Hussein leeft nog, zie deze video.
Publisher’s rating: Ja, Saddam Hussein werd in 2006 geëxecuteerd. Hij werd begraven in al-Awja. In 2014 verplaatsten zijn aanhangers zijn stoffelijk overschot naar een onbekende locatie.
The review finds no reason to believe Saddam Hussein is alive or that the man in the video is him. It says the video was filmed in Karbala, but DPA could not determine who the man was.

Publisher’s rating: DW fact check: False
The review found the claim that people had to stand in Hamburg’s Alster was false.
