Lula teria dito na ONU que entregaria o Brasil no caso de uma invasão
Publisher’s rating: Enganoso
The review says a video clip was taken out of context: the claim came from political analyst Lourival Sant’anna’s sarcastic remark, not from Lula. Lula’s quoted remarks concerned Ukraine and diplomacy, and the review says there is no record of him saying he would surrender Brazilian territory in an invasion.
Seit heute gibt es ein neues NATO-Hauptquartier in Rostock. Das ist ein Bruch des Zwei-Plus-Vier-Vertrages.
Publisher’s rating: In Rostock gibt es ein neues Hauptquartier der deutschen Marine. Dort arbeiten auch Offiziere aus anderen Nato-Ländern. Dies verstößt nicht gegen den Zwei-plus-Vier-Vertrag, weil dies keine Truppenstationierung ist.

During Prime Minister’s Questions on October 16, Sir Keir Starmer was asked a question by a fellow Labour MP about cycles of poverty. To begin his answer, the Prime Minister said: “The party opposite – they want to get rid of maternity pay, but keep hereditary peers. It’s the same old Tories.”
Publisher’s rating: A row erupted at the recent Conservative Party Conference over prospective leader Kemi Badenoch’s position on maternity pay. However, Ms Badenoch’s comments were framed more generally around workplace regulations being “excessive” rather than this specific kind of payment. The Conservative Party, which has not yet decided who will be its leader, has not adopted a policy to scrap maternity pay.
