Backup vocals and funky beat plays that s one of many remixes that donald trump s false claim that haitian immigrants are eating household pets has spawned that one by the musician the kiffness. False it may well be but the claim has dominated news cycles, and onejournalist set out to find the source of the nowdebunked rumour. Jack brewster is enterprise editor at newsguard and he s been telling us about how he did it. Yeah, so finding the source of this claim is almost as interesting as the claim itself. We went to the screenshot that everyone was sharing online, purporting to come from the person who originally shared the claim, and it was posted first in this private facebook group. And when it was shared on x which is where it went viral somebody had redacted the name at the top, so you couldn t tell who was the original poster of this claim. But my colleague and i noticed that a couple of the letters were exposed at the top and so, we zoomed in and after about a few minutes of
Due to mr netanyahu s demand that israel maintain a military presence in the philadelphi corridor. That s a small buffer zone between gaza and egypt s sinai desert. Mr netanyahu said israel is committed to destroying hamas and bringing the hostages home. He warned of the potential consequences should israel relieve its military pressure on hamas. Our middle east regional editor mike thomson has more on the prime minister s comments from jerusalem. Tonight, mr netanyahu doubled down on his insistence that israeli troops will not be withdrawn from the philadelphi corridor. That is the strip of land that separates southern gaza from egypt.

Citizenship law intensifies, scenes of defiance, protesters ignoring cu rfews, police accused of heavy handed tactics. Hundreds of thousands across this vast and diverse nation have taken to the streets to oppose a law they say discriminates against muslims. It offers fast track citizenship for Illegal Immigrants from three neighbouring countries, except muslims. The government says it is to protect religious minorities fleeing persecution. India prides itself on its secular principles, the right to equality for all citizens. But many fear that, by making religion a condition of citizenship, that core fundamental principle is now at stake. Muslims say they are living in fear. The government is planning to publish a nationwide register of citizens, in which everyone would have to prove they are indian.
