世田谷の女性殺害事件で、李在明大統領「日本は責任をとり、謝罪と賠償をするべきだ」と発言?
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
A videoposted on X claims to show a mass funeral, in which hundreds of bodies shrouded in white cloth are being carried to their final resting place. "This is not Gaza — this is Afghanistan's Kunar province, where more than 800 people have lost their lives and thousands have been injured in just one night due to a devastating earthquake," the caption reads. It further appeals for donations and provides several telephone numbers: "Anyone who wishes to help or donate can reach out to the following Afghan numbers…"
Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: Fake. This video is fake. To be more precise, it was generated with the help of artifical intelligence (AI). There are several obvious clues in the footage, such as the fact that there are no identifiable faces in the video. A few figures appear to be moving in the eight-second-long clip, but their movements appear unnatural, almost robotic. It also appears as if each body were being carried by two people, without the help of a cot or coffin. And several individuals appear to be walking away from the procession, or in the opposite direction as the crowd. Both instances seem nonsensical in this context. For the most part, the bodies being carried are rigidly horizontal, which looks strange. Media reports from the earthquake-affected Kunar province show large-scale destruction, with many collapsed buildings. However, in the video, there are no signs of recent damage — the buildings in the background appear intact. Unsurprisingly, many users have already pointed out in the comments that they think the image is AI-generated. A reverse image search led us to several earlier posts in which the same video was linked to Pakistan's floods on August 20. As Afghanistan deals with the aftermath of Sunday's massive earthquake, its neighbor Pakistan has been experiencing exceptionally severe flooding since late June.
The video shows Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad meeting the mother of truck driver Harjinder Singh, accused in the Florida road accident.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The video shows Chandrashekhar Azad meeting Kamal Kumar Barara’s mother, not Harjinder Singh’s mother. The video was uploaded in early May 2025, before the Florida accident on 12 August 2025, and Barara confirmed the woman was his mother.
Der Prozess soll Bolsonaro politisch ausschalten.
Publisher’s rating: DW Faktencheck: Irreführend. Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass Brasiliens Ex-Präsident Jair Bolsonaro vor Gericht steht. Er wurde bereits zweimal vom Obersten brasilianischen Wahlgericht (TSE) verurteilt. Einmal im Juni 2023 wegen falscher Behauptungen über elektronische Wahlurnen. Und im Oktober 2023 für die Instrumentalisierung des 200. Jubiläums der Unabhängigkeit Brasiliens für Wahlkampfzwecke. Aufgrund dieser beiden Urteile kann Bolsonaro bei den bevorstehenden Wahlen 2026 nicht mehr antreten, unabhängig von dem aktuellen Prozess. Denn laut brasilianischer Gesetzgebungdürfen von der Justiz verurteilte Kandidaten acht Jahre lang nicht kandidieren. Dies bedeutet, dass der aktuelle Prozess wegen angeblichen Staatsstreichs gegen Bolsonaro nicht mehr entscheidend dafür ist, ob der Ex-Präsident bei den Wahlen im kommenden Jahr kandidieren kann. Richtig ist, dass Bolsonaro am 8. Januar 2023, als seine Anhänger den Regierungspalast in Brasília stürmten, sich in den USA aufhielt. Ob seine Abwesenheit ein Beleg dafür ist, dass er nicht in das Ereignis verwickelt war, soll während des aktuellen Prozesses geklärt werden.
Brasilien ist eine Diktatur.
Publisher’s rating: DW Faktencheck: Falsch. Die Behauptung, Brasilien sei eine Diktatur, gehört zu den konstanten Narrativen der Anhänger Bolsonaros. Auch bei der jüngsten Massendemonstrationen für eine Amnestie Bolsonaros Anfang August in mehreren brasilianischen Städten, war dies auf Plakaten zu lesen (siehe Foto). Die zahlreichen Demonstrationen belegen das Gegenteil. Denn in einer Diktatur wären die Demonstrationen der Anhänger des Ex-Präsidenten nicht möglich. Auch die politische Arbeit von Volksvertretern ist in Brasilien nicht eingeschränkt. Denn im Gegensatz zu Eduardo Bolsonaro üben seine beiden Brüder Flavio (Mitglied des Senats) und Carlos (Abgeordneter im Stadtparlament von Rio de Janeiro) ihr Mandat in Brasilien aus. Auch die Ergebnisse der Ermittlungen gegen Bolsonaro, darunter auch der Abschlussbericht der brasilianischen Kriminalpolizei, sind öffentlich einsehbar, ein Zeichen für den öffentlichen Zugang zu Information, den es in Diktaturen nicht gibt. Die britische Zeitschrift "Economist" zollte Brasilien in seiner jüngsten Ausgabe sogar höchste Anerkennung: "Brasilien erteilt Amerika eine Lektion in demokratischer Reife", titelte das Magazin.

Mohammad Rizvi, the man who abused Narendra Modi. So, the BJP sent someone to abuse Narendra Modi on the Congress stage.
Publisher’s rating: misleading
Research from related reporting says Mohammad Rizvi allegedly made remarks against Modi and his deceased mother at Darbhanga during Rahul Gandhi’s Bihar Voter Rights Yatra. The supplied reporting does not establish that the BJP sent Rizvi to make those remarks.
