Hello from the team at BBC Verify.

This morning we’re following up on the Ukrainian military saying it has attacked a gas processing facility in Russia’s Volgograd region. We’re checking footage posted online last night and this morning that does appear to show a fire at a facility in the area.

We’ll also be feeding into BBC News’ coverage of US President Donald Trump’s announcement that Israel and Hamas have agreed a “first phase” of his Gaza peace deal. You can get the latest updates here.

Today we’ll be investigating:

  • Where Israeli troops will withdraw to
  • Any reports of strikes and fighting continuing today
  • The status of the remaining hostages in Gaza

Elsewhere, BBC Verify’s correspondent in the US Nick Beake has been piecing together a raid by immigration enforcement agents on a tower block in Chicago. We’ll bring you more on that shortly.
