Welcome to our live page bringing you updates on the work of our specialists in fact-checking, open-source verification and data journalism.<\/p>\n

This Tuesday morning we\u2019re assessing the latest overnight images showing new drone attacks on the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. Footage seen by BBC Verify shows an apartment block was damaged – we\u2019re carrying out verification checks and we\u2019ll update you with what we\u2019ve found.<\/p>\n

Our Africa specialist is looking at checks on video and images following a landslide in the Darfur region of western Sudan which local officials say has killed at least 1,000 people. You can read more about that story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following Sunday\u2019s magnitude 6.0 earthquake in Afghanistan which has killed at least 800 people we\u2019ll see whether specialist satellite companies have any up-to-date imagery from the affected area. It may be there is a time-lag before we can see signs of damage, but we will share what we know if we can get good quality images.<\/p>\n

And BBC Verify\u2019s UK fact-checkers are digging into the government\u2019s plan to clamp down on international students applying for asylum after their visas have expired. We\u2019ll examine what the data says to see how many of these visas are issued and the number of people who overstay.<\/p>\n
