Good morning from the live page team at BBC Verify.
We’ve seen more examples of misinformation and AI fakery
being posted online following Sunday’s shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney that
killed 15 people at a Hanukkah event. We’re looking at how artificial
intelligence was used to back-up false claims about the attack.
Ukraine says its forces have attacked a Russian submarine
at a port in the Black Sea using an underwater drone. Footage released by
Ukraine’s security services shows an explosion at the docks in Novorossiysk,
but the Russians say no vessels were damaged. We’ll show the footage to experts
to get their take on what happened.
US President Donald Trump said last night that he is
declaring the synthetic opioid drug fentanyl a “weapon of mass destruction”.
We’ve been looking into the official figures for fentanyl-related deaths in the
US.
We’ll bring you more on those stories shortly – and if
you’ve seen a claim, picture or video online that doesn’t seem right then get in touch with us here.
