Good morning from the BBC’s
specialists in video verification, fact-checking, disinformation debunking and
data journalism.
Our verification journalists
are also assessing footage from Ukraine where Russian attacks have killed at
least six people in the capital, Kyiv. Last night’s attacks come as diplomatic
efforts to find a way to end the war continue.
The Ukrainian military has
posted a picture of a damaged Russian aircraft following an attack on a base at
Taganrog in the Rostov region. Ukraine says it was one of several sites
targeted last night.
Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, the Taliban government’s
spokesperson claims that Pakistan conducted air strikes overnight
which reportedly killed at least 10 people. We’re looking for verifiable
material being posted online that we can feed into the BBC’s reporting
today.
And BBC Verify’s policy and
analysis correspondent Ben Chu has been looking into the impact of the
two-child benefit cap which limits payments for larger families. It’s been
reported that Chancellor Rachel Reeves will scrap it when she delivers her
Budget tomorrow.
