Ram Gopal Mishra was given brutal torture before being killed; a postmortem report confirms his painful death

Publisher’s rating: misleading

Research from related reporting says the court judgment described Mishra’s body as riddled with bullets and noted that his nails came off, but did not accept claims of electric shocks, sword attacks, or deliberate removal of his toenails. The reporting says police had refuted those exaggerated torture claims and stated that bullet wounds caused his death.

トランプ元大統領「日本人が幸せになれないのが不憫でならない」と発言?

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The Japanese Fact-Check Center found the claim false: Trump did not make the quoted statement about Japanese people. The viral video combined a FOX News image of Trump discussing COVID-19 with audio from a Liberty University graduation speech; the review says neither source contains remarks about Japan. [S1]

PA MediaEducation

A social media user posted a photo to X, formerly Twitter, of a supposed primary school Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE) task for 10-year-olds, in which they have to match words related to sexual education to the correct definitions. The user tagged Norma Foley, the Minister for Education, who also represents the Kerry constituency in the Dail, and said she “has a lot to answer for”.

Publisher’s rating: Although this specific classroom activity has been distributed during Ms Foley’s tenure as Minister of Education, it was designed before she became the minister and similar content has been part of teaching guidelines for this age group since the school curriculum was revised in 1999 and does not represent any significant change to sex education.
