Ataque de Irán a Israel

Publisher’s rating: Falso

Related reporting from the Real Instituto Elcano describes “el lanzamiento masivo de misiles iraníes sobre Israel de octubre de 2024.” This supports that Iran launched missiles at Israel during the claimed period.

dpaEconomy & business

Deutschland liegt beim Wirtschaftswachstum weltweit auf dem letzten Platz (195 von 195).

Publisher’s rating: Die Behauptung ist falsch. Sowohl innerhalb Europas als auch weltweit weisen eine Reihe von Ländern schlechtere Wachstumszahlen als Deutschland auf.

The review says the claim that Germany ranked 195th out of 195 countries is unsupported by the cited data. It reports that the IMF’s 2024 figures show eight countries with lower growth than Germany, while Eurostat’s second-quarter figures show lower growth in Ireland, Hungary and Austria.

Cette vidéo montre Benjamin Netanyahu se dépêcher de rejoindre son bunker à l’approche des missiles iraniens.

Publisher’s rating: La vidéo en question a été publiée sur les réseaux sociaux de Benjamin Netanyahu en décembre 2021. Le Premier ministre israélien se rendait à un vote au parlement. Les images n'ont donc rien à voir avec la récente attaque de l'Iran.

The video does not show Benjamin Netanyahu rushing to a bunker during Iran’s October 1, 2024 attack. It was published in December 2021 and showed him hurrying to a parliamentary vote.

Бывший министр образования России Фурсенко призывал перестать готовить в школах творцов и воспитывать грамотных потребителей

Publisher’s rating: Экс-министр говорил о необходимости учить людей эффективно использовать чужие знания, а не об отказе от творческого воспитания.

Das FBI findet die sterblichen Überreste von Menschen bei einem Fleischlieferanten von McDonald's.

Publisher’s rating: Nein, der Fernsehbericht über einen Leichenfund im Jahr 2013 hat mit McDonald‘s überhaupt nichts zu tun. Die Imbisskette wird darin nirgends erwähnt, es geht um einen alten Kriminalfall.

The review says the video shows an FBI search of a Detroit warehouse in late 2013, where a business dealing in human remains operated—not a McDonald’s supplier. It says neither the TV report nor the related court documents mention McDonald’s, and that the claim linking the remains to the chain has no basis.

Haddad teria feito propaganda de plataforma que investe em criptomoedas e sido processado pelo "Banco Nacional do Brasil"

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review says a site imitating Globo.com invented an interview in which Fernando Haddad supposedly promoted a cryptocurrency-investment platform. It reports that the interview actually covered other topics, that the Ministry of Finance called the text completely false, and that no “Banco Nacional do Brasil” exists. The fake page linked to a site that requested card details for a deposit, which the review said could indicate a scam.
