  9. Israel levelling thousands of Gaza civilian buildings in controlled demolitions - BBC Verify (2025-07-18)

    ———
    ※Better keep “Animation off”; could be disturbing.

    >> Israel has demolished thousands of buildings across Gaza since it withdrew from a ceasefire with Hamas in March, with entire towns and suburbs … levelled in the past few weeks.

    >> Satellite images show massive amounts of destruction in several areas which Israel's military command claims to have under "operational control".

    >> Tel al-Sultan was one of Rafah city's most vibrant neighbourhoods...

    >> Satellite images showed that much of the area had already been heavily damaged by Israeli bombing and artillery fire, but dozens of buildings had withstood the barrage.

    >> But by 13 July the destruction had escalated, with even the shells of damaged buildings swept away and entire blocks torn to the ground…

  12. #Russia suffering '#EnvironmentalCatastrophe' after #OilSpill in #KerchStrait

    Joshua Cheetham, Olga Robinson & Matt Murphy, January 23, 2025

    "Satellite images reviewed by BBC Verify have shown a major oil slick spreading across the Kerch Strait that separates Russia from annexed #Crimea, a month after two oil tankers were badly damaged in the #BlackSea.

    "Oil has leaked into the strait from two ships which ran into trouble during bad weather on 15 December. Volgoneft-239 ran aground following the storm, while Volgoneft-212 sank.

    ​​"Up to 5,000 tonnes of oil has now leaked, and media reports and official statements analysed by BBC Verify suggest the spill has spread across the Black Sea and the #SeaOfAzov.

    "A senior Russian scientist called the spill the country's worst '#EnvironmentalCatastrophe' of the 21st Century.

    "'This is the first time fuel oil has been spilled in such quantities,' Viktor Danilov-Danilyan - the head of science at the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) - said in a 17 January interview with a Russian newspaper.

    "Russian scientists said in December that this spill could be more than twice the size of a similar disaster in the strait in 2007, which saw up to 1,600 tonnes of #HeavyOil leak into the sea. #Ukraine's ministry of #ecology has estimated that the clear up from the latest spill could cost the Russian state up to $14bn (£11.4bn).

    "#PaulJohnston, a scientist at #GreenpeaceResearchLaboratories, said 'there's always an element of uncertainty around oil spills', but a lack of timely information has heightened this uncertainty further.

    "'I'm not entirely optimistic we'll ever know the full extent of the problem,' he added.

    "Satellite images reviewed by #BBCVerify on 10 January - the most recent available high-resolution photos - showed a #MassiveOilSlick running through the strait, measuring at least 25km (15 miles) long. A second, smaller slick measuring around 5.7km (3.5 miles) long is also visible."

    “Farming tax row - BBC Verify on which figures are more reliable and why”

    bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c789yg

    I find it interesting that #BBC Verify also support the Treasury's estimate that only around ~500 estates will be affected.

    #BBCVerify is a cool project by the BBC; they have been taking the OSINT methods championed by Bellingcat and applying them to “mainstream” journalism. More of this please.

  18. #ITVDebat #Sunak begins to rival #Johnson as a liar & charlatan. Sunak's £2k tax lie ridiculed by everyone from #BBCVerify to the man on the bus, it was set up by Tory 'advisors' based on erroneous data. These liars MUST be defeated. #rejoinEU #ToryCorruption #TorySewageParty

  19. BBC Verify go to impressive lengths to unravel what actually happened with all the killings yesterday around the food aid trucks.

  20. During the appalling corruption and gigantic lack of integrity of Trump and Brexit, I realised that, going forward, the only way to counter the lies/misinformation of the likes of Trump/Murdoch/Boris, would be to legislate that anything labelled as News, must be truthful. All else must be labelled 'Opinion' (or maybe just 'crap').

    It's good to see the BBC moving towards making the distinction.
