Long story short, ‘Aerial view’ of ICE shooting is AI fake

'We’ve tracked the picture back to an account on X that has “Trump Loyalist” and “#Ai” in its profile.'

#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."

The BBC now have a verify editor. Maybe this should be escalated to them to. Unless they are one and the same person.

Awake early enough to hear #radio4 doing its cranky Sunday morning god slot. Firstly #bellsonsunday, a minute of sequenced cling-clang for the lord. Then #beyondbelief in which ‘theologists’ burble about the theoretical suffering of their magic sky captain. This will later be followed by the groaning out of a few servile reverb-drenched chants and singalongs. Deliberately deceitful broadcasting, one might even call it evil. #bbcverify and ‘the lord’ as ever, nowhere to be seen.

If anyone voting in the UK elections is tempted to watch the "official" debates, don't, just follow the like instead

The debates are empty arguments and thanks to toxic lies are as polluted as British rivers. It's a circus, but anyone who listens to Farage doing his crap comes out several IQ points lower

It should have a health warning

#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

I can't understand why BBC Verify is it's own program on BBC News. Why don't they verify and question every story and statement and call out the lies and bias as it happens? I know the BBC says this happens, but I watch our politicians on different news outlets repeating things that are not factual, or are based on limited and manipulated datasets all the time.
