“Modi-Modi” chanted in Pakistan National Assembly
Publisher’s rating: False Context/Misleading
Vídeo no TikTok em que um homem trafega pelo Rio Araguaia de balsa e mostra a ponte inacabada. Ele alega que o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) deixou a obra “praticamente pronta”, mas a construção teria sido embargada pelo atual governo, de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).
Publisher’s rating: Falso
Biden is afgezet.
Publisher’s rating: De Amerikaanse president is niet afgezet. Een Republikeins lid van het Huis van Afgevaardigden wilde een 'impeachment', die zo'n afzetting in gang kan zetten, in stemming brengen. Uiteindelijk stemde het Huis alleen in om die resolutie door te verwijzen naar specifieke comités.
"We’ve appointed more African American women ... to the federal bench than ... every other president combined."

Publisher’s rating: Missing Context
Social media users claimed that a video captured Biden admitting to selling state secrets to India.
Publisher’s rating: Missing Context. The viral version of this video does not show Biden's full remark and omits the part where he says "all kidding aside."
БТ перепутало молдавские протесты
Publisher’s rating: Протесты против переноса Дня победы действительно прошли — около здания парламента. А на видео «Беларусь 1» показана акция возле Конституционного суда Молдовы, где прошел протест против ликвидации оппозиционной партии «ШОР».
Макрон демонстрирует статус, навешивая на себя десятки цветочных венков
Publisher’s rating: На самом деле эти кадры — видеомонтаж. Этот юмористический ролик был сделан два года назад и стал вирусным.

The review checked Diet records for the 211th Diet session, which ran from January 23 to June 21, 2023. It found records showing that both Eiko Kimura and Yasuhiko Funago attended plenary sessions or committee meetings, and that each spoke in committee.
Joe Biden admet avoir vendu beaucoup de secrets d'Etat.
Publisher’s rating: Non, la vidéo a été coupée. Dans une version plus longue, on entend clairement que le président américain plaisante. Son trait d'humour, destiné aux journalistes, fait allusion aux démêlés judiciaires de son prédécesseur et candidat à la présidentielle de 2024, Donald Trump.
The claim concerns a social-media clip in which Joe Biden, seated beside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, appears to say that he had sold state secrets. The review identifies the setting as a June 23, 2023 meeting with technology-company executives at the White House. It says the circulated sequence came from RNC Research, an account run by the Republican Party. Biden did use the words about selling state secrets, but the review says the clip omitted what followed. In a longer version, Biden adds “joking aside” immediately after the quip. The review says this is also confirmed by the White House meeting transcript. It explains that Biden was addressing journalists who arrived after the meeting had started: his joke was that he had already sold state secrets in their absence. The review also notes that Modi smiles and people in the room laugh. The review interprets the joke as a reference to Donald Trump’s legal troubles over classified documents that Trump was suspected of taking and not returning at the end of his presidency. On the evidence described, the short clip preserves Biden’s words but removes the explicit cue and surrounding context that indicate he was joking, rather than seriously admitting to selling state secrets.

Publisher’s rating: Fake
Zelensky heeft een vermogen van 1,2 miljard dollar, een huis van 35 miljoen dollar in Florida, een maandsalaris van 11 miljoen dollar, 15 andere huizen en 3 privé-vliegtuigen.
Publisher’s rating: Zelensky is een multimilionair, maar om een miljardair te worden zou hij nog veel moeten sparen. De berichten over zijn geschat vermogen missen veelal enige serieuze fundering en zijn overdreven. Er is evenmin enig bewijs dat hij een huis in Florida of privévliegtuigen bezit.
