石破首相「中国の領空侵犯は即射撃を検討」などと発言?

Publisher’s rating: 不正確

The review says the viral post altered Ishiba’s remarks: he discussed considering legal changes to allow the Self-Defense Forces to use harmful force, not immediately firing at Chinese aircraft violating Japanese airspace. The review cites his September 22, 2024, remarks on a Fuji TV program and concludes that the viral wording did not reflect what he said.

Pará decretou lockdown climático

Publisher’s rating: EXPLICA

The review says Pará’s decree declared a state of emergency because of drought and forest fires, not a climate lockdown. It explains that the decree allows emergency-response measures, but provides for no social isolation, quarantine, or distancing measures that could be interpreted as a lockdown.

Deze video toont beelden van orkaan Helene.

Publisher’s rating: Nee, geen enkel beeld uit de dertiendelige compilatie toont orkaan Helene. Alle beelden zijn ouder dan 26 september en tonen dus andere stormen. Eén van de beelden toont vermoedelijk zelfs geen echte storm, maar een die artificieel werd gemaakt.

تداولت حسابات وصفحات على منصة إكس مقطع فيديو مدعية أنه من تصدي قوات الرضوان، والنخبة التابعة لحزب الله للقوات الإسرائيلية التي تحاول التقدم إلى جنوب لبنان

Publisher’s rating: مضلل

The review says the video was assembled from two separate, older clips from the Russia–Ukraine war and does not show clashes in southern Lebanon. It reports that the claim circulated after Israeli forces said they had encountered Hezbollah ambushes while advancing toward several towns in southern Lebanon.

ভগৱান গণেশক পূজা কৰি থাকোতে পুৰোহিতজন হৃদৰোগত আক্ৰান্ত হোৱা ভিডিঅ’টো চিত্ৰনাট্যযুক্ত বা স্ক্ৰিপ্টেড। ভিডিঅ’টোৰ বাস্তৱৰ লগত কোনো সম্পৰ্ক নাই।

Publisher’s rating: False

Fact Crescendo traced the video to a Facebook account that identified its content as scripted dramas and parodies for entertainment and educational purposes. The review also reports that the video’s ending includes a disclaimer, and concludes that the depicted incident was scripted rather than real.

CO2 trägt zur Biodiversitätsförderung bei / Biodiversität blüht mit mehr CO2 in der Atmosphäre auf

Publisher’s rating: Es liegt eine Fehlinterpretation vor. Forschende des Birmingham Institute of Forest Research haben jüngst herausgefunden, dass reife Wälder entgegen bestehenden Annahmen eine signifikante Rolle spielen in der Bindung von CO2 und somit im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Auf einen höheren atmosphärischen CO2-Gehalt reagierten die untersuchten älteren Bäume mit der Produktion von mehr Holzbiomasse. Die Auswirkung einer höheren CO2-Konzentration auf die Biodiversität war hingegen nicht Gegenstand der Untersuchung.

Esta supuesta placa de TN con una cita de Axel Kicillof donde incentiva a “dejar los libros por un año”

Publisher’s rating: Falso

Chequeado reports that TN did not publish the alleged graphic and found no public record of Kicillof saying the quoted phrase. TN and Kicillof’s spokesperson also told the outlet the graphic was false. (S1: “La placa -que circuló en X- no fue publicada por TN y no hay ningún registro de que Kicillof haya dicho eso de forma pública.”; “La vocera de Axel Kicillof también aseguró a Chequeado que se trata de una desinformación.”)
