A video on TikTok claiming to show a phone call between Sir Keir Starmer and US president-elect Donald Trump has been seen nearly a million times. In the 19-second video, a voice that sounds like Mr Trump is heard listing “things I don’t like when talking to me” rather than engaging with the Prime Minister.

Publisher’s rating: The video has been manipulated by editing together shots of Sir Keir from an official Downing Street video and adding audio of an uncertain origin that sounds like Mr Trump.

Oekraïnse overheid bouwt nieuw skigebied voor 1,5 miljard euro.

Publisher’s rating: Het gaat om een privé-initiatief van de Okko Group, een Oekraïense holding. Het toekomstige skiresort staat dus los van de Oekraïense overheid.

The resort is a private initiative by Ukrainian holding Okko Group, not a Ukrainian government project, and is not being financed with European or Ukrainian tax money. The article reports a planned total cost of $1.5 billion, rather than €1.5 billion.

小中高生の自殺がはじめて500人超。原因1位は「親の貧困による生活苦」?

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review finds the claim false: 513 elementary, junior high, and high school students died by suicide in 2023, one fewer than in 2022, so the number did not first exceed 500. It says the government’s white paper lists different leading causes by age and sex, while “economic and livelihood problems” accounted for less than 5% across the student groups.
