Video zeigt die Reaktion von Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier auf den Wahlsieg von Donald Trump bei der US-Präsidentschaftswahl 2024.

Publisher’s rating: Das Video steht in einem falschen Kontext: Es Video zeigt eine alte Aussage Steinmeiers. Der SPD-Politiker war damals Außenminister und äußerte sich zum Ausgang der US-Präsidentschaftswahl 2016, die Donald Trump gewann. Angesichts des aktuellen Wahlausgangs gratulierte Steinmeier dem Republikaner und betonte die Bedeutung der transatlantischen Beziehungen.

raw or unpasteurised milk is a healthier alternative to pasteurised milk (milk that has been heated to a specific temperature for a pre-determined interval of time)

Publisher’s rating: While it is true that one of the biggest outbreaks of salmonella in the US involved pasteurised milk, effective pasteurisation kills Salmonella.

Related research and reporting—not the original First Check review—address the health claims around raw milk. One study reported an association between unpasteurised milk intake and Lactobacillus abundance, while noting that more research is needed; related reporting also highlights pathogen risks and says pasteurised milk has the same amount of nutrients.

A video shows locals beating up a Muslim man who allegedly attempted to destroy idols of Hindu deities at a Ramalayam in Bhimavaram.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that the video shows Dileep, whom police identified as Hindu and a mental health patient, being beaten near the Kodanda Ram Temple on 1 November 2024. Police said the incident had no religious angle and that he was admitted to a mental hospital by magistrate’s order. The review concludes that the post’s description of him as a Muslim attempting to vandalize idols was false.

Bill Gates gaat digitale ID's implanteren bij pasgeborenen in Kenia.

Publisher’s rating: Nee, Bill Gates gaat geen digitale ID's in baby's (of oudere mensen) implanteren. De Bill en Melinda Gates Foundation adviseert de Keniaanse overheid wel bij het invoeren van digitale identiteitsbewijzen, die de toegang tot overheidsdiensten voor Kenianen moeten vergemakkelijken. Die worden echter niet onder iemands huid geïmplanteerd. Wel zijn er zorgen over privacykwesties.
