Welcome to Monday’s BBC Verify Live – we’ll bring you updates here on what we’re fact-checking and the footage we’re authenticating for stories running across BBC News.
The team are starting this morning by collating and verifying material being posted online from Russia following reports of drone strikes overnight. The Ministry of Defence in Moscow says its forces destroyed 251 Ukrainian drones. We’re looking to see what has been hit – Ukrainian media says an oil refinery is on fire in Russian-occupied Crimea.
The UK’s main opposition party – the Conservatives – are holding their conference in Manchester this week.
We’re listening to a speech from shadow chancellor Mel Stride. We’re looking into Conservative plans to give young people a £5,000 tax rebate towards their first home which would be paid for by cutting public spending by £47bn over five years.
South Asia continues to be hit by severe flooding which have triggered landslides in parts of India as well as affecting areas of Nepal and Afghanistan. We’re in the process of checking footage being posted online including one video where a building is washed away near the city of Darjeeling.
And with Israel and Hamas due to hold indirect ceasefire talks in Egypt today we’re using open source material like social media posts to get a picture of what is happening in Gaza as Israeli attacks continue.
