Her publicist said she and her children are “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19. Fact Check: The meme features a picture of “The Big Bang Theory” actress Bialik, who received a doctorate in neuroscience from UCLA. It alleges she “refuses to vaccinate” and contains the hashtag “SmartParentsDon’tVax.” (RELATED: Image Claims To Show A CDC Infographic Saying ‘Refusing To Take The Vaccine Is A Form Of Racism’) Bialik, who has faced criticism for prior comments she has made about vaccines, has said she and her children are vaccinated, however. In an October 2020 YouTube video, Bialik stated that she would be getting both the COVID-19 and flu vaccine this year and that her two children would also be getting flu vaccines. “This year I’m going to do something I literally haven’t done in 30 years. I’m going to get a vaccine. And guess what? I’m actually going to get two,” Bialik said in the video. “Number one vaccine that I’m going to get is the COVID vaccine. I can’t wait for it, bring it on. Number two vaccine, I’m going to get a flu vaccine.” She also stated in the video, “My 12- and 15-year old children have never received a flu vaccine. This year, roll up them shirt sleeves, boys, vaccines for everyone.” At one point in the video, she says that she believes the perception that she is anti-vaccination stems from a book she wrote about her experience parenting, noting, “At the time my children had not received the typical schedule of vaccines, but I have never, not once, said that vaccines are not valuable, not useful or not necessary, because they are.” “As of today, my children may not have had every one of the vaccinations that your children have, but my children are vaccinated. I repeat: my children are vaccinated,” she said in the October 2020 YouTube video. In a February 2015 tweet, she also said her kids are vaccinated. Bialik expressed support for COVID-19 vaccines in a January 2021 interview with Yahoo! Life and in a May 2021 interview with Cheddar News. In both interviews, she said her children were vaccinated and, in the Cheddar News interview, confirmed she received the COVID-19 vaccine. “It’s not ‘I’m pro every single vaccine that anyone talks about all the time everywhere, every single minute,'” she said, according to Yahoo! Life. “I have a lot of questions about the vaccine industry, as do a lot of people. I have a lot of questions about the profits involved. [But] when it comes to this virus, the insidiousness of this virus, the way this virus works, the way that it adapts, we absolutely need to see this as distinctly different from the flu. It’s different than the common cold. This is something we need absolute protection from.” if(dc_showing_ads) { var scr = document.createElement('script'); scr.async= true; scr.src = ""https://get.civicscience.com/jspoll/5/csw-polyfills.js""; document.getElementsByTagName(""body"")[0].appendChild(scr); } Heather Besignano, Bialik’s publicist, told Check Your Fact that “Mayim and her children are all fully vaccinated for the COVID-19 virus.” share on facebook tweet this show commentsElias AtienzaFact Check ReporterFollow Elias on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False The footage actually shows French police showing support for health care workers protesting in June 2020. Fact Check: Protests broke out in multiple French cities after French President Emmanuel Macron announced new COVID-19-related rules on July 12, Reuters reported. The rules include mandating health care workers be vaccinated by September 15, and requiring health passes showing proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test in order to enter venues such as restaurants, bars and theaters, as well as board trains and planes, according to the outlet. A video shared on Facebook on July 17 purportedly shows a scene from the recent protests in which law enforcement personnel placed their helmets on the ground as civilians gathered around them and applauded. “Police in France with the people of France take off their helmets,” the video’s caption reads. “This happened during this weeks protests ! Let’s goooo France.” (RELATED: Does This Image Show An ‘Electric Car Cemetery’ In France?) The video, however, predates the recent demonstrations against COVID-19 restrictions in France. Through a reverse image search of key frames, Check Your Fact found similar footage published on YouTube by French magazine L’Obs in June 2020, with the title: “Police officers and caregivers applaud during the demonstration in Nîmes.” The video showed police in Nimes, France, on June 16, 2020, acknowledging health care workers who were protesting in support of a public hospital there, according to a translation of the video’s description. Tens of thousands of French medical workers demonstrated on June 16, 2020, advocating for the country’s government to raise health service wages, pause service cuts and stop hospitals from closing amid the pandemic, France 24 reported. The government signed an agreement with unions on July 13, 2020 enacting roughly $9 billion in wage increases for health care personnel, according to BBC News. share on facebook tweet this show commentsTrevor SchakohlFact Check ReporterFollow Trevor on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?  Send ideas to [email protected].","https://www.facebook.com/cynara.issa/posts/10159363056387180,https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/french-police-quell-protest-against-covid-health-passport-rules-2021-07-14/,https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/france-make-covid-19-shot-mandatory-health-workers-bfm-tv-2021-07-12/,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/14/fact-check-image-electric-car-cemetery-france/,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLlvS7Fnyb0,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLlvS7Fnyb0,https://www.france24.com/en/20200616-enough-applause-french-health-workers-rally-anew-for-post-coronavirus-reforms,https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-53398208,https://twitter.com/tschakohl,/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#15616770637a6755767d70767e6c7a6067737476613b767a78",Does This Video Show French Police Setting Down Their Helmets In Support Of Protesters In July 2021?,,,,,, -2,,,,False,,,,checkyourfact,,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/23/fact-check-canada-prohibit-pilots-covid-vaccine-flying/,Does Canada Prohibit Pilots Who Received COVID-19 Vaccines From Flying?,2021-07-23,checkyourfact,,"FACT CHECK: Does Canada Prohibit Pilots Who Received COVID-19 Vaccines From Flying?2:21 PM 07/23/2021Brad Sylvester | Fact Check Reporter share on facebook tweet this show commentsAn image shared on Facebook claims Canada prohibits all pilots who received COVID-19 vaccines from flying. Verdict: False The Canadian government allows pilots who have received Health Canada-approved COVID-19 vaccines to fly. Fact Check: The image shows the headline of a July 11 post from the website Alt News that reads, “Canada Prohibits All Vaxxed Pilots From Flying. The Corona Vax Is A ‘Medical Trial’ And Such ‘Vaccinations’ Are Ruled To Ground All Pilots.” (RELATED: Viral Post Claims Fox News Isn’t Available In Canada) Below the headline, there is a screen grab of the Canadian government’s website from the Transport Canada section titled “COVID-19 vaccines and Aviation Medical Certificate holders.” A highlighted line in the screen grab states that “participation in medical trials is not considered compatible with aviation medical certification.” While the post attempts to allege that all Canadian pilots who received COVID-19 vaccines are prohibited from flying because the vaccines are supposedly considered a “medical trial,” that is not the case. The Canadian government’s website explicitly states that COVID-19 vaccines approved by Health Canada “are considered compatible with Transport Canada aviation Medical Certification.” That means pilots who received them are allowed to fly. Health Canada has approved the COVID-19 vaccines produced by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca. The Canadian government’s website states, “Only vaccines that are proven to be safe, effective and of high quality are authorized for use in Canada. The COVID-19 vaccines have been rigorously tested during their development and then carefully reviewed by Health Canada.” Sau Sau Liu, a spokesperson for Transport Canada, confirmed in an email to Check Your Fact that the post’s claim is inaccurate, saying, “Transport Canada does not prohibit pilots vaccinated with Health Canada-approved vaccines to fly nor do we impose grounding periods for aviators who wish to take vaccines approved by Health Canada.” The Transport Canada section of the Canadian government’s website also states, “Transport Canada (TC) Civil Aviation Medicine (CAM), does not impose grounding periods for aviators who wish to take vaccines approved by Health Canada.” “All COVID-19 vaccines currently available in Canada have gone through clinical trials and been tested on tens of thousands of adult volunteers before being authorized for use,” Liu also said. “They were deemed to be safe and effective and have been licensed and authorized by Health Canada. They are not medical trials.” The notice about it being the “general position of TC CAM that participation in medical trials is not considered compatible with aviation medical certification” on the webpage was included earlier in the pandemic “when aviators started asking if they could take part in the vaccine trials that Health Canada was undertaking prior to the approval of the vaccines for general distribution,” according to Liu. if(dc_showing_ads) { var scr = document.createElement('script'); scr.async= true; scr.src = ""https://get.civicscience.com/jspoll/5/csw-polyfills.js""; document.getElementsByTagName(""body"")[0].appendChild(scr); } Liu told Check Your Fact that because Health Canada has approved the COVID-19 vaccines for use and the notice about medical trials “is less relevant,” Transport Canada has since removed it from the webpage. share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False There is no record of Macron making this statement. Fact Check: The French government recently announced that it would mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for all health care workers, according to Reuters. The government also set forth requirements that people would need passes documenting they have been vaccinated against COVID-19, recently tested negative for the virus or recovered from the illness in order to enter venues such as restaurants, bars and theaters, the outlet reported. Now, an image on Facebook shows what appears to be a screen grab of a tweet seemingly quoting the French president. “I no longer have any intention of sacrificing my life, my time, my freedom and the adolescence of my daughters, as well as their right to study properly, for those who refuse to be vaccinated,” Macron purportedly said. “This time you stay at home, not us.” There is, however, no record of Macron saying the quote attributed to him in the Facebook post. Check Your Fact reviewed a speech Macron gave on July 12, but found no mention of him saying people who refuse to be vaccinated should stay home. The supposed quote was not found on the Élysée Palace website either. A search of Macron’s verified social media accounts likewise turned up no instances of the alleged quote. Furthermore, the French president has three adult stepchildren and no biological children of his own, The Sun reported in 2020. (RELATED: Does This Image Show A 2021 Protest Against France’s COVID-19 Measures?) The misattribution may stem from confusion surrounding an Instagram post from Italian journalist Selvaggia Lucarelli. Lucarelli posted a picture of Macron and included a similar quote to the one erroneously attributed to Macron as the caption. The quote is not attributed to Macron in the post. “I’m for the French line right now. I no longer have any intention whatsoever of sacrificing my life, my time, and my son’s adolescence, in addition to his right to study properly, for those who refuse to get vaccinated,” a translation of Lucarelli’s Instagram caption reads. “This time you stay home, not us.” share on facebook tweet this show commentsElias AtienzaFact Check ReporterFollow Elias on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False There is no evidence that Castro has fled Cuba. The image featured in the post was taken in 2015 and shows Castro landing in Costa Rica to attend a summit. Fact Check: Thousands of Cubans angered by food and medicine shortages participated in anti-government protests on July 11, with many calling for freedom and for Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel to resign, CNN reported. Now, an image on Facebook shows Castro exiting a plane and claims he fled to Venezuela during the protests. “BREAKING – Cuba: Former President Raúl Castro flees to Venezuela,” reads the image’s caption. “He arrived in Caracas around 11:37 pm, Sunday, July 11, 2021 as massive anti-government protests erupted in the socialist regime.” There is no evidence, however, that Castro fled to Venezuela on July 11. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found the photo in a January 2015 article published by La Nación, explaining it shows him arriving in Costa Rica to attend that year’s Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) summit. “Raúl Castro arrived at the Juan Santamaría airport to attend the Celac Summit that starts tomorrow in the country,” reads a translation of the image’s caption on La Nación. “He is the first president to arrive on Costa Rican soil and was received by Vice President Ana Helena Chacón.” The photo was also included in articles published by Cuba Debate and teleSUR. Both outlets also reported the image showed Castro arriving in Costa Rica for the CELAC summit. (RELATED: Does This Video Show A Recent Anti-Government Protest In Cuba?) Had Castro actually fled Cuba during the July 11 protests, media outlets likely would have reported on it, yet none have.”Raúl Castro is very well and in Cuba,” said Noraimis Ramos Ruiz, a spokesperson for the Cuban government, in an email to Check Your Fact. Castro appeared at a pro-government rally in Havana, Cuba on July 17, according to the Associated Press. if(dc_showing_ads) { var scr = document.createElement('script'); scr.async= true; scr.src = ""https://get.civicscience.com/jspoll/5/csw-polyfills.js""; document.getElementsByTagName(""body"")[0].appendChild(scr); } share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False There is no evidence Rice has been convicted of treason or sentenced to death. The claim stems from a website that says it publishes “humor, parody, and satire.” Fact Check: The lengthy post claims the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps on July 8 convicted Rice of “high treason” for “her participation in a 2017 scheme to defame” former President Donald Trump in connection to alleged “Russian collusion.” Rice, who served as former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser from 2013 to 2017, faced scrutiny for her role in “unmasking” some Trump transition officials in intelligence reports on communications with foreigners under surveillance, according to CNBC. In the post, it also alleges Navy Vice Admiral John Hannink was involved in her trial. At the end of the trial, a “three-officer panel unanimously agreed Rice be put to death for her crimes against America,” the post claims. There is, however, no evidence Rice was convicted of treason or sentenced to death. A search of press releases put out by the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense didn’t turn up any announcements to that effect. National media outlets haven’t reported on Rice getting convicted of treason. She has also been active on Twitter since July 8, the date she was supposedly sentenced to death, further adding to the post’s dubiousness. “No truth to this claim,” a Department of Defense spokesperson said in an email to Check Your Fact. (RELATED: No, Donald Rumsfeld Did Not Commit Suicide At A Military Tribunal) The text in the Facebook post matches that in a July 20 article published by Real Raw News, a website that states on its “About Us” page that it “contains humor, parody, and satire.” While Real Raw News includes that disclaimer, the Facebook post does not, resulting in some users seemingly believing the story is real. share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False There is no evidence Trump released the statement. The fabricated press release appears to originate from a Twitter user as a joke. Fact Check: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV in February, marking Brady’s seventh Super Bowl win, according to CBS Sports. Brady and his teammates on July 20 visited the White House, where the quarterback cracked a joke about people not believing the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, footage from The Hill shows. “Not a lot of people think that we could have won and, in fact, I think about 40 percent of people still don’t think we won,” Brady said, referencing people who deny President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election. Shortly after Brady made the joke, social media users started sharing a screen grab of what looks like a statement from Trump. In the alleged press release, the former president appears to respond to Brady’s joke, calling the quarterback “shady.” “Tom ‘Shady’ needs to do his research and realize how Rigged (and Rigged it was) the last election was,” the purported Trump statement reads. “Maybe he was too busy Deflating balls (weak grip?) to follow what is happening all around our Great Country (including Maricopa County, Georgia and Pennsylvania). When I’m back in the White House we’ll see who he jokes with (the answer is Me, your favorite ‘President’, if I even invite him). So much Voter Fraud!” There is, however, no record of Trump putting out the statement pictured in the Facebook post. A search of Trump’s website, as well as his 45office.com website, didn’t turn up any statements calling Brady “shady.” (RELATED: Did Tom Brady Say, ‘If Anybody On This Team Kneels, I Walk’?) Brady’s joke at the White House was widely covered by national news outlets. If Trump had put out the statement in response, it would have been picked up by the media, yet no major news outlets have reported on it. Multiple Twitter users also shared the fake statement on Twitter. The fabricated press release appears to have been originally posted by the Twitter user @skolanach, whose handle is visible in the upper-left corner. The Twitter user later clarified it was a joke. if(dc_showing_ads) { var scr = document.createElement('script'); scr.async= true; scr.src = ""https://get.civicscience.com/jspoll/5/csw-polyfills.js""; document.getElementsByTagName(""body"")[0].appendChild(scr); } I made it.

Verdict: False Rumsfeld’s cause of death was multiple myeloma. The claim appears to stem from a website that says it publishes “humor, parody, and satire.” Fact Check: Rumsfeld, the Defense secretary to former Presidents Gerald Ford and George W. Bush, died on June 29 at 88 years old, according to CNBC. Now, some social media users are sharing a post claiming Rumsfeld actually died by suicide during a military tribunal. Rumsfeld did not, however, commit suicide, and was never on trial before a military tribunal. No mention of such a trial or any charges against him can be found in press releases published by the Justice Department or the Defense Department. Current Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin tweeted on June 30 that he was “saddened to hear” about Rumsfeld’s death, stating, “I extend my deep condolences to his family and loved ones.” Had Rumsfeld committed suicide at a military tribunal, media outlets certainly would have reported on it, yet none have done so. Keith Urbahn, Rumsfeld’s spokesperson, said multiple myeloma caused his death, USA Today reported. (RELATED: Viral Image Claims To Show Article About Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Considering ‘Defunding, Maybe Disbanding’ The US Army) The claim appears to stem from a July 18 article published by Real Raw News bearing the headline: “Rumsfeld Committed Suicide at Military Tribunal; Did Not Die of Natural Causes.” The article goes on to claim Rumsfeld was arrested on May 27, and that he killed himself after the military tribunal found him responsible for the deaths of American soldiers during the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Real Raw News includes a disclaimer on it’s “About Us” page that states, “This website contains humor, parody, and satire.” Despite the disclaimer, social media users have shared the claim without such a warning, seemingly believing it to be true. This is not the first time a claim stemming from a Real Raw News article has been shared as misinformation.

Maybe it’s time to issue an executive order requiring all Popeyes in Florida to re-stock them ASAP??” A schedule available on the Florida governor’s website shows DeSantis visited the Miami office of Restaurant Brands International, the parent company of Popeyes, on Sept. 27, 2019. The News Service of Florida also reported on his visit at the time. The novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 first emerged in late 2019, according to The New York Times. DeSantis did not, according to the Washington Post, issue a statewide mask mandate last year, though he did institute a lockdown in April 2020. In May, he signed an executive order suspending local COVID-19 rules for individuals and businesses, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Friends of Ron DeSantis, the governor’s political committee, recently started selling merchandise such as “Don’t Fauci My Florida” t-shirts and “How the hell am I going to be able to drink a beer with a mask on?” beer koozies, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

Fact Check: The image shows what appears to be a screen grab of Frederick Taylor Gates’ Wikipedia entry displayed on Google. Green text added to the screen grab claims he is Bill Gates’ grandfather. Frederick Taylor Gates managed Rockefeller’s charitable activities and was instrumental in the founding of the philanthropic Rockefeller Foundation, serving on its board of trustees until 1923, according to The Rockefeller Archive Center. (RELATED: Have Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, The WHO And Others Been Charged With War Crimes?) Despite sharing a surname with Frederick Taylor Gates, Bill Gates is not his grandson. Bill Gates’ father and mother were Bill Gates Sr. and Mary Maxwell, who died in 2020 and 1994 respectively, according to NBC News. Bill Gates Sr., also known as William H. Gates II, was born in 1925 to furniture store owners in Washington state, ABC News reported. Frederick Taylor Gates died in 1929, while his wife Emma Cahoon Gates lived until 1934, The New York Times reported. They had seven children, according to his autobiography “Chapters in My Life,” none of whom were named William or Mary. An internet search by Check Your Fact found no credible media report of Frederick Taylor Gates being Bill Gates’ grandfather. Bill Gates hasn’t mentioned Frederick Taylor Gates in any entry of his personal blog either. The Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation collaborated in 2006 to create the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), an initiative to lessen poverty in the continent through agricultural investment, according to The Rockefeller Foundation’s website. share on facebook tweet this show commentsTrevor SchakohlFact Check ReporterFollow Trevor on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?  Send ideas to [email protected].","https://www.facebook.com/miguel.cuervo.5249/posts/188296246565526,https://www.britannica.com/biography/Frederick-T-Gates,https://rockfound.rockarch.org/biographical/-/asset_publisher/6ygcKECNI1nb/content/frederick-t-gates?,https://checkyourfact.com/2020/05/13/fact-check-image-bill-gates-anthony-fauci-violating-social-distancing-guidelines-coronavirus/,https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bill-gates-sr-father-microsoft-co-founder-dies-94-n1240189,https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/bill-gates-sr-father-microsoft-founder-dies-94-73033685,https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1929/02/07/95877097.pdf?pdf_redirect=true&ip=0,https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1934/04/07/93757961.pdf,https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35101532/frederick-taylor-gates,https://www.google.com/books/edition/Chapters_in_My_Life/1Yu5AAAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0,https://www.google.com/search?q=frederick+taylor+gates+Bill+Gates+grandfather&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjr2MuDw_TxAhXAFFkFHYujBjoQ_AUoAHoECAcQAg&biw=1440&bih=717&dpr=2,https://www.gatesnotes.com/Search?search=%22Frederick%20Taylor%20Gates%22,https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/initiative/alliance-for-a-green-revolution-in-africa/,https://twitter.com/tschakohl,/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d3a7a1b6a5bca193b0bbb6b0b8aabca6a1b5b2b0a7fdb0bcbe",Is Bill Gates The Grandson Of Rockefeller Foundation Co-Founder Frederick Taylor Gates?,,,,,, -10,,,,False,,,,checkyourfact,,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/20/fact-check-joe-biden-olivia-rodrigo-shoulders/,Does This Image Show Joe Biden Touching Olivia Rodrigo’s Shoulders?,2021-07-20,checkyourfact,,"FACT CHECK: Does This Image Show Joe Biden Touching Olivia Rodrigo’s Shoulders?6:33 PM 07/20/2021Mecca Fowler | Contributor share on facebook tweet this show commentsAn image shared on Facebook over 2,000 times purportedly shows President Joe Biden touching singer Olivia Rodrigo’s shoulders.

Following her White House visit, some social media users started sharing an altered image appearing to show Biden touching her shoulders. In the original picture taken by photographer Oliver Contreras for Bloomberg in the White House briefing room, only Rodrigo and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki can be seen. Biden did not attend the July 14 briefing in which Rodrigo participated, a review of the transcript and footage from the briefing shows. (RELATED: Viral Image Makes False Claim About Joe And Jill Biden’s Relationship) Biden has been digitally edited into the photo of Rodrigo and Psaki in the briefing room. The picture of Biden comes from the 2015 swearing-in ceremony for former Defense Secretary Ash Carter, when the then-vice president put his hands on the shoulders of Ash Carter’s wife Stephanie and spoke to her. Some people pointed to the picture of Biden and Stephanie Carter during the 2020 presidential election cycle to criticize him for his interactions with women. Stephanie Carter said in a 2019 Medium post that the picture had been “misleadingly” taken out-of-context and that Biden touched her shoulders “as a means of offering his support.” Rodrigo and Biden did share actual photos of them together during her White House visit to their respective Instagram accounts. share on facebook tweet this show commentsMecca FowlerContributor","https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4418281911550182&set=a.600404043338007&type=3&theater,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmDBbnmKpqQ,https://apnews.com/article/olivia-rodrigo-visits-white-house-vaccines-07aeaeb169aa7daed999dd48d57e06a0,https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4418281911550182&set=a.600404043338007&type=3&theater,https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/jen-psaki-white-house-press-secretary-right-introduces-pop-news-photo/1233977853?adppopup=true,https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/07/14/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-jen-psaki-july-14-2021/,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek6Y3jzOLP4,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/01/28/fact-check-joe-jill-biden-babysitter-wife-hospitalized/,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3gGncZMCKQ,https://www.apimages.com/metadata/Index/Obama-Defense-Secretary-/d6517cafb1ce43a18fd9fb9abd5202e9/2/0,https://www.vox.com/2019/4/2/18290345/joe-biden-lucy-flores-amy-lappos,https://medium.com/@scarterdc/the-metoo-story-that-wasnt-me-6c1d5eb1e94d,https://www.instagram.com/p/CRU-J7yr2jT/?utm_medium=copy_link,https://www.instagram.com/p/CRU9pq4rEKj/",Does This Image Show Joe Biden Touching Olivia Rodrigo’s Shoulders?,,,,,, -11,,,,False,,,,checkyourfact,,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/20/fact-check-joe-biden-americans-dont-receive-vaccine-quarantine-camps/,Did Joe Biden Say Americans Who Don’t Receive The COVID-19 Vaccine Before 2022 Will Be Put In ‘Quarantine Camps’?,2021-07-20,checkyourfact,,"FACT CHECK: Did Joe Biden Say Americans Who Don’t Receive The COVID-19 Vaccine Before 2022 Will Be Put In ‘Quarantine Camps’?5:18 PM 07/20/2021Brad Sylvester | Fact Check Reporter share on facebook tweet this show commentsAn image shared on Facebook claims President Joe Biden announced that Americans not vaccinated against COVID-19 before 2022 will be put in “quarantine camps.” Verdict: False There is no record of Biden making such an announcement. The claim appears to stem from a satirical article. Fact Check: The Facebook photo shows what appears to be a screen grab of a June 21 article including an image of Biden and bearing the headline: “Announces Americans Not Vaccinated Before 2022 Will Be Put In Camps.” Text in the screen grab goes on to say that unvaccinated Americans will be detained in “quarantine camps” until they are vaccinated. There is no record, however, of Biden making such an announcement. A search of the White House’s website turned up no mention of imprisoning unvaccinated Americans. Check Your Fact also searched Biden’s verified social media accounts, but found no instances of him announcing such a plan. While the Biden administration has been actively working to get more Americans vaccinated against COVID-19, according to The New York Times, Check Your Fact found no news reporting about the president announcing any plan to imprison those who refuse to be vaccinated. (RELATED: Did Joe Biden Announce Looting Would Be Renamed ‘Justice Shopping’?) The screen grabbed article in the Facebook post appears to have been published by Value Walk, a website that “provides unique coverage on hedge funds, large asset managers, and value investing,” according to its “About” section. A clear disclaimer at the bottom of the article says, “This is a satirical article.” Value Walk also included a notice that the article was first posted by The Stonk Market, a financial satire website. While both Value Walk and The Stonk Market include disclaimers about the satirical nature of the story, social media users have been sharing the claim without such a warning, seemingly believing the erroneous claim to be true. share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

There were also no major solar storms last week. Fact Check: Solar storms are natural phenomena that occur when disturbances on the sun, such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections, emit electromagnetic radiation and charged particle radiation into the solar system, according to CBS News. Under certain conditions, such solar activity can disrupt satellites as well as technologies on Earth like GPS and radio communications, according to NASA. The July 14 Instagram post claims a “massive solar storm” that can impact GPS, internet and satellites is heading toward Earth. However, there is no mention of an imminent solar storm to that effect on the Space Weather Prediction Center’s three-day forecast, and no such storm occurred last week. The forecast on Monday said, “Solar activity is likely to remain very low with a slight chance for C-class flares on 19-21 Jul,” while Tuesday’s forecast currently states, “Solar activity is expected to be very low, with an increasing chance of C-class flares 20-22 Jul.” C-class solar flares are “too weak to noticeably affect Earth,” according to NASA. “The solar observations have been greatly mischaracterized,” Theo Stein, a spokesperson for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), said in an email to Check Your Fact. (RELATED: No, This Is Not A ‘Photo From Mars’ Fabricated By NASA) The last significant solar activity registered by the NOAA occurred on July 3, when an X-1 solar flare was observed. X-class flares are the strongest type of solar flare and can affect Earth, according to NASA. The July 3 flare was the largest since 2017 and caused a brief radio blackout, according to Space.com. share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False While Make-A-Wish is requiring families to be vaccinated for wishes involving air travel and large crowds, it is not denying wishes to unvaccinated children. The claim appears to stem from a misunderstanding of a video from the Make-A-Wish CEO. Fact Check: The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization that grants wishes to critically ill children, according to the foundation’s website. Now, a post on Facebook claims the organization decided to only grant wishes to children who are fully vaccinated. The coronavirus pandemic put thousands of wishes on hold due to stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions and event cancellations, NBC South Florida reported in May 2020. Other children had to alter their wishes, according to USA Today. There is no evidence, however, that Make-A-Wish is refusing to grant wishes to unvaccinated children. An internet search conducted by Check Your Fact found no media outlets reporting that the foundation is mandating vaccines before children can receive wishes, only other fact-checking outlets debunking the claim. The claim appears to stem from a deceptively edited video shared on Twitter, that showed Make-A-Wish CEO Richard Davis speaking about updates to Make-A-Wish’s COVID-19 policies. In the edited video, Davis says wishes involving air travel within the U.S. and large gatherings will resume September 15, but will require all participants, including the child making a wish, to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The Twitter video, which was originally sent in an email to Make-A-Wish families, was edited to end before Davis finished explaining which children would be eligible for wishes involving air travel and large gatherings, the Associated Press reported. (RELATED: Does The Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine Contain Graphene Oxide?) The foundation on June 28 published a statement on its website clarifying the misinformation surrounding its vaccine policy. “Make-A-Wish has not, does not and will not deny wishes to children who are not vaccinated,” the statement reads, in part. “Since the beginning of the pandemic, Make-A-Wish has safely granted over 6,500 wishes to children and families – regardless of vaccination status. Make-A-Wish will continue to grant wishes to children who are not vaccinated.” The statement goes on to explain that there are other types of wishes to choose from that don’t require being vaccinated, such as road trips, shopping sprees, meeting a celebrity and room decorations. The vaccine policy does not apply to children who have received a terminal prognosis, according to the statement. if(dc_showing_ads) { var scr = document.createElement('script'); scr.async= true; scr.src = ""https://get.civicscience.com/jspoll/5/csw-polyfills.js""; document.getElementsByTagName(""body"")[0].appendChild(scr); } share on facebook tweet this show commentsMecca FowlerContributor","https://www.facebook.com/MarchAgainstCorruption/posts/2326354117495293,https://wish.org/about-us,https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/coronavirus/make-a-wish-trying-to-make-dreams-come-true-during-pandemic/2227685/,https://www.usatoday.com/story/lifestyle/2020/08/19/make-a-wish-still-helping-dreams-come-true-during-pandemic-mdash-just-different-ones/113347928/,https://www.google.com/search?q=Make-A-wish+refusing+to+grant+wishes+unvaccinated+children&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS890US890&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjjmpTgo_LxAhVrElkFHSLbCVsQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1440&bih=717,https://twitter.com/Pelham_3/status/1407964106653536256,https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-health-business-6ecfe4db4e9eef5d0577a11aaba0f985,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/12/fact-check-pfizer-covid-vaccine-graphene-oxide/,https://wish.org/news-releases/vaccine-policy,https://wish.org/news-releases/vaccine-policy",Is The Make-A-Wish Foundation Only Granting Wishes To Fully Vaccinated Children?,,,,,, -14,,,,False,,,,checkyourfact,,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/20/fact-check-protest-france-covid-measures/,Does This Image Show A 2021 Protest Against France’s COVID-19 Measures?,2021-07-20,checkyourfact,,"FACT CHECK: Does This Image Show A 2021 Protest Against France’s COVID-19 Measures?2:20 PM 07/20/2021Elias Atienza | Fact Check Reporter share on facebook tweet this show commentsAn image shared on Instagram allegedly shows a recent protest in France against COVID-19 mitigation measures.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by CBK (@cbk.news) Verdict: False The photo, which dates back to 2018, shows celebrations of France’s FIFA World Cup victory that year. Fact Check: The image of a woman holding a French flag while a massive crowd gathers below on the Champs-Elysees avenue in Paris has circulated on Instagram and Facebook recently. In numerous instances, users alleged in the captions that it depicts a protest against the French government’s new COVID-19 mitigation measures. The French government recently announced measures that will mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for all health care workers and that will require people get special health passes documenting they have been vaccinated against COVID-19, recently tested negative for the virus or recovered from it to enter venues such as restaurants, bars and theaters, according to Reuters. The announcement of those measures resulted in over 100,000 people protesting across France this past weekend, the Associated Press reported. A reverse image search revealed the photo actually dates back to 2018 and shows people in Paris celebrating the French national soccer team winning the FIFA World Cup. France won the World Cup that year after beating Croatia 4-2 in the final match, NPR reported. AFP photographer Ludovic Marin took the picture. (RELATED: Image Claims To Show Cuban Farmer Before Being Executed For Refusing To Work For The Castro Regime) “This picture taken from the top of the Arch of Triumph (Arc de Triomphe) on July 15, 2018 shows people celebrating France’s victory in the Russia 2018 World Cup final football match between France and Croatia, on the Champs-Elysees avenue in Paris,” reads the caption on Getty Images.

Verdict: False The image, which was taken in 2019, actually shows a farmers’ protest in the Netherlands, not New Zealand. Fact Check: In recent days, New Zealand farmers have been participating in a demonstration called “Howl Of A Protest,” and have been driving their tractors into cities, causing traffic jams, Reuters reported. The farmers are protesting the New Zealand government’s environmental and climate change policies, among other regulations, that some believe are hurting their business, according to the outlet. Now some social media users have been sharing an image, supposedly from the protests, showing dozens of tractors driving down one side of a highway. “Farmer’s protest today! pukekohe to Auckland,” the image’s caption reads. “Standing up to our tyrannical government that are land grabbing and destroying farmer’s lively hoods. We need to support them for the farmers feed us!” The image does not, however, show the recent New Zealand protests. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found a near-identical photo on Shutterstock. The image shared on Facebook appears to have flipped and cropped the original photo. The photo was actually taken in the Netherlands in 2019, according to its caption on Shutterstock. “Farmers block the A28 Highway with their tractors between Hoogeveen and Meppel in The Netherlands, 01 October 2019,” the image’s caption reads. “The farmers joined a national protest in The Hague.” (RELATED: Did Stacey Abrams Say, ‘We Don’t Need Farmers, When We Have Grocery Stores’?)

Verdict: False The image is a piece of digital artwork, not a photo taken from the International Space Station. Fact Check: The International Space Station, which orbits about 250 miles above the earth, was assembled in parts between 1998 and 2011, according to NASA. 2020 marked the International Space Station’s 20th year of astronaut crews living on it, the Associated Press reported. The Facebook post claims to show a photo of a solar eclipse taken from the International Space Station. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the sun and the earth and blocks the sun’s light, casting a shadow on earth, according to NASA. (RELATED: Is This Image The ‘First Ever’ Photo Of A Sunset On Mars?) While the picture does contain some actual imagery of space, it is not a photo of a solar eclipse taken from the International Space Station. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact discovered it is actually a piece of digital artwork created by Deviant Art user A4size-ska using software called Terragen 2. The image of the Milky Way in the background of the piece comes from the European Space Observatory. The inaccurate claim that the image shows a solar eclipse “viewed from the International Space Station” has circulated online since at least 2012. In an article for Discover Magazine that year, astronomer Phil Plait debunked the claim, noting that “the bright Earth (and Sun!) would wash out the background stars in a picture like this, so you’d not see them, and certainly not the Milky Way.” Gizmodo also reported that the image was a “3D rendering made in Terragen 2” by the Deviant Art user. This isn’t the first time social media users have mistaken a piece of digital artwork as a genuine photo taken of space. In February, Check Your Fact debunked an image some Facebook users claimed to show “Earth, Venus and Jupiter as seen from Mars” that, in actuality, was computer-generated. share on facebook tweet this show commentsElias AtienzaFact Check ReporterFollow Elias on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False There is no record of Roberts being arrested for child trafficking, or any other charges. Fact Check: “Breaking News! Chief Justice John Roberts has been arrested for child trafficking, plus other charges!” the July 14 Facebook post reads, citing someone named Scott Brunswick as the source of the claim. Brunswick has previously been cited as the source for other Facebook posts, including one that falsely claimed former President Donald Trump retained full control of the military. There is no evidence, however, that Roberts was arrested for child trafficking, or anything else. Check Your Fact searched press releases from the Supreme Court and the FBI, but found no mention of Roberts being arrested. Had the chief justice been arrested, major media outlets almost certainly would have reported on it, yet none have. While Supreme Court Justices are able to hold office “as long as they choose,” according to the Supreme Court’s website, they are able to be removed by impeachment. Justices can be impeached for committing “treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors,” per the U.S. Constitution. If Roberts was arrested for child trafficking, he would likely be susceptible to an impeachment charge from Congress, but there has not been any congressional action taken against him, according to Congress.gov. (RELATED: Does This Photo Show Chief Justice John Roberts With Ghislaine Maxwell) Roberts most recently released a statement July 1 marking the end of the term, and the start of Supreme Court recess until October. share on facebook tweet this show commentsRyan KingContributor","https://www.facebook.com/star.aquarius.731/posts/4383237421741022,https://www.facebook.com/star.aquarius.731/posts/4265374396860659,https://www.supremecourt.gov/publicinfo/press/pressreleases.aspx,https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel,https://news.google.com/search?q=chief%20justice%20roberts%20arrested&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen,https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/faq_general.aspx,https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript,https://www.congress.gov/search?q=%7B%22source%22%3A%22all%22%2C%22congress%22%3A%22117%22%2C%22search%22%3A%22john+roberts%22%7D,https://checkyourfact.com/2020/12/21/fact-check-photo-john-roberts-ghislaine-maxwell-jean-luc-brunel/,https://www.supremecourt.gov/publicinfo/press/pressreleases/pr_07-01-21",Was Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts Arrested?,,,,,, -18,,,,False,,,,checkyourfact,,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/19/fact-check-video-protest-cuba-argentina-soccer/,Does This Video Show A Recent Anti-Government Protest In Cuba?,2021-07-19,checkyourfact,,"FACT CHECK: Does This Video Show A Recent Anti-Government Protest In Cuba?7:09 PM 07/19/2021Alexis Enderle | Contributor share on facebook tweet this show commentsA video shared on Facebook allegedly shows a large nighttime anti-government protest in Cuba on July 17. Verdict: False The video shows soccer fans celebrating in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after the country’s team won the Copa América final against Brazil. Fact Check: Widespread anti-government protests erupted across Cuba starting July 11, according to The Wall Street Journal. Cubans are protesting the Communist-run government, food and medicine shortages and electricity outages, among other things, the Associated Press reported. Misinformation related to the Cuban anti-government protests has circulated widely on social media in recent days. The inaccurate claim that the video, which has garnered over 1,400 views so far, shows a nighttime protest in the country “right now” is one such example. It actually shows Argentinians in Buenos Aires celebrating the national soccer team’s victory over Brazil in the Copa América final on July 10. The well-known Obelisco de Buenos Aires can be seen in the video lit up with blue lights. Similar footage shared by The Guardian’s soccer-focused Youtube channel, Guardian Football, shows a large crowd of Argentina soccer fans celebrating the July 10 win in the Plaza de la Republica, where the monument is located. The description of Guardian Football’s video containing the similar footage reads in part, “Thousands took to the streets in Buenos Aires on Saturday night after Argentina beat its historic rival Brazil in the Copa América final.” (RELATED: Does This Photo Show An Anti-Communist Protest In Cuba?) Reuters also published footage depicting Argentina soccer fans on July 10 celebrating the win in Buenos Aires. Amongst the large crowd, the blue-lit obelisk can be seen, according to the Reuters video. Check Your Fact previously debunked an image of thousands of people gathered in a street that some social media users claimed showed an anti-government protest in Cuba. That photo actually captured part of a 2011 demonstration in Egypt. if(dc_showing_ads) { var scr = document.createElement('script'); scr.async= true; scr.src = ""https://get.civicscience.com/jspoll/5/csw-polyfills.js""; document.getElementsByTagName(""body"")[0].appendChild(scr); } share on facebook tweet this show commentsAlexis EnderleContributor","https://www.facebook.com/berit.larsen.798/videos/616304286000528,https://www.wsj.com/articles/cuba-protests-whats-happening-11626112390,https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-europe-business-health-cuba-53b679e5500247f8bf6195b692015605,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/14/fact-check-protest-cuba-arab-spring-egypt/,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/15/fact-check-photo-anti-communist-protest-cuba/,https://www.facebook.com/berit.larsen.798/videos/616304286000528,https://www.npr.org/2021/07/11/1015105606/lionel-messi-sends-argentina-to-victory-over-brazil-in-copa-america-final,https://turismo.buenosaires.gob.ar/en/otros-establecimientos/obelisk,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsYxxeeXoo8,https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNHqb1IRxQ5WBsWtO53JL2g,https://www.google.com/maps/search/obelisco+de+buenos+aires/@-34.6036415,-58.3816822,113m/data=!3m1!1e3,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsYxxeeXoo8,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/15/fact-check-photo-anti-communist-protest-cuba/,https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/argentina-beat-brazil-1-0-win-copa-america-2021-07-11/,https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/argentina-beat-brazil-1-0-win-copa-america-2021-07-11/,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/14/fact-check-protest-cuba-arab-spring-egypt/",Does This Video Show A Recent Anti-Government Protest In Cuba?,,,,,, -19,,,,False,,,,checkyourfact,,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/19/fact-check-kayleigh-mcenany-jfk-granddaughter/,Is Kayleigh McEnany JFK’s Granddaughter?,2021-07-19,checkyourfact,,"FACT CHECK: Is Kayleigh McEnany JFK’s Granddaughter?5:18 PM 07/19/2021Ryan King | Contributor share on facebook tweet this show commentsAn image shared on Facebook claims former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is the granddaughter of former President John F. Kennedy and daughter of John F. Kennedy Jr. Verdict: False Kayleigh McEnany is the daughter of Michael McEnany and Leanne McEnany. She is not directly related to John F. Kennedy. Fact Check: The image includes a photo of Kayleigh McEnany surrounded by photos of Jacqueline Kennedy, John F. Kennedy, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Text in the photo lists John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy as Kayleigh McEnany’s grandparents and John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy as her parents. There is, however, no evidence Kayleigh McEnany is directly related to John F. Kennedy.

Facebook/Screenshot Verdict: False The sticker has been digitally edited into the photo. Fact Check: The picture of the BMW supposedly sporting a “Fuck You Greta!” sticker on the back windshield has circulated on Facebook in recent days. The alleged sticker appears to reference Thunberg, a well-known Swedish environmental activist. The image also went viral on Twitter, where one iteration has received over 1,200 retweets and 9,000 likes as of press time. The anti-Thunberg sticker has been photoshopped into the picture, a reverse image search revealed. The original photo, taken by photographer David Young, can be found in a July 16 article about cars that was published by the German newspaper Bild in connection to flooding in Germany. In the unaltered picture, there are no stickers visible on the car’s window. Countries in Western Europe were recently hit by deadly floods, with at least 160 people having been killed by them in Germany, according to the Associated Press. At least 31 people in Belgium have died in the floods, the outlet reported Monday. (RELATED: Image Claims To Show Greta Thunberg Eating On A Train While Children Watch From Outside) One Twitter user who shared the image later appeared to clarify that it was doctored, saying in part, “Apparently the bumper sticker is photoshopped in, which isn’t surprising since this is in Germany, so presumably it would be in German (or Belgian, Dutch) if it were real.” Apparently the bumper sticker is photoshopped in, which isn’t surprising since this is in Germany, so presumably it would be in German (or Belgian, Dutch) if it were real.

Verdict: False The photo of the elephant has been photoshopped to include a lioness and lion cub. The image was originally created for an April Fools’ Day prank. Fact Check: The image seemingly showing a lioness padding alongside an elephant holding a cub with its trunk has circulated online for several years. “It was considered the best photo of this century,” text inside the image states. “A lioness and her cub were crossing the savannah but the heat was excessive and the cub was in great difficulty walking. An elephant realized that the cub would die and carried him in his trunk to a pool of water walking beside his mother. And we call them wild animals.” The image is photoshopped. The unaltered picture of the elephant can be found on Wikimedia Commons. In the original photo, there are no lions accompanying the elephant as it crosses a dirt path. (RELATED: Did Russia Let Over 500 Lions Loose To Keep People Indoors During The Coronavirus Pandemic?) Kruger Sightings, an online service that shares wildlife sightings at South Africa’s Kruger National Park, first tweeted the altered picture on April 1, 2018, with a similar story accompanying it. The caption credits the photo to “Sloof Lirpa,” which is “April Fools” written backwards. Nadav Ossendryver, the founder of Kruger Sightings, said that it was created as a 2018 April Fools’ Day prank and that it quickly went viral, according to Business Insider South Africa. Ossendryver said some media outlets reached out to him at the time asking for permission to use it, the outlet reported. Despite Kruger Sightings also posting on its website in 2018 that the photoshopped image was an April Fools joke, some social media users have continued to share it, seemingly believing it is a genuine photo of an elephant helping a lioness and her cub. share on facebook tweet this show commentsTrevor SchakohlFact Check ReporterFollow Trevor on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?  Send ideas to [email protected].","https://www.facebook.com/jackmason1953/posts/10222471645914304,https://www.facebook.com/jackmason1953/posts/10222471645914304,https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elephant_side-view_Kruger.jpg,https://checkyourfact.com/2020/03/24/fact-check-russia-500-lions-look-streets-coronavirus/,https://twitter.com/LatestKruger/status/980344432393375744?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E980344432393375744%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.businessinsider.co.za%2Fsa-elephant-picture-fools-20-million-people-2018-4,https://www.businessinsider.co.za/sa-elephant-picture-fools-20-million-people-2018-4,https://www.latestsightings.com/single-post/2018/04/01/How-To-Make-Your-April-Fools-Joke-Go-Viral,https://twitter.com/tschakohl,/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4c383e293a233e0c2f24292f273523393e2a2d2f38622f2321",Does This Image Show An Elephant Carrying A Lion Cub?,,,,,, -22,,,,False,,,,checkyourfact,,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/19/fact-check-video-italians-celebrating-european-championship-soccer-firecrackers/,Does This Video Show Italians Celebrating The National Soccer Team’s European Championship Victory With Firecrackers?,2021-07-19,checkyourfact,,"FACT CHECK: Does This Video Show Italians Celebrating The National Soccer Team’s European Championship Victory With Firecrackers?12:29 PM 07/19/2021Brad Sylvester | Fact Check Reporter share on facebook tweet this show commentsA video shared on Facebook claims to show Italians celebrating the men’s national team’s recent victory in the 2020 European Championship soccer tournament by igniting a long line of firecrackers. Verdict: False The video shows a religious festival in Taiwan in April, not a soccer celebration in Italy. Fact Check: Italy’s national men’s soccer team won the 2020 European Championship after defeating England on July 11, a win that prompted celebrations across the country, according to The New York Times. Now, a July 13 video claims to show supporters of the team setting off a long line of red firecrackers in the street. “Italy’s celebration on euro cup winning,” reads the post’s caption. “No pollution for them ,only India’s Dipawali crackers pollute the world!” (RELATED: Does This Image Show Italian Police Laying Down Their Equipment In Solidarity With People Protesting COVID-19 Restrictions?) Dipawali, or Diwali, is India’s most important holiday, and is typically celebrated with a large festival in which firecrackers and fireworks are ignited, a tradition that has been criticized for contributing to air pollution, according to NPR. The Facebook video does not, however, show a celebration in Italy. Through a reverse image search of key frames, Check Your Fact found similar footage posted on YouTube in April by Taiwanese news outlet Sanli News Network with the title: “Firecrackers stretch for 500 meters to welcome Baishatun Mazu enthusiastically.” The Baishatun Mazu (or Matsu) Pilgrimage is an annual religious festival in which tens of thousands of people walk 400 kilometers across Taiwan to honor the sea goddess Matsu, according to the Taipei Times. This year’s pilgrimage began on April 11, the outlet reported. Firecrackers are often set off along the route to celebrate the deity, according to Taiwan Panorama. share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False The video shows a protest in Kenya, not France. Fact Check: The 31-second video shows an aerial view of people running in different directions on a street as two vehicles shoot water cannons at them. The caption of the video reads, “Resistance begins to mount against President Macron’s plan for mandatory COVID vaccinations of all French citizens.” (RELATED: Does This Photo Show Kenyans In Nairobi Protesting In Solidarity With Nigerians In June 2021?) That description of the video, however, is inaccurate. A keyword search of terms associated with the video turned up several YouTube videos showing the same footage, all of which indicate it actually shows a protest at the University of Nairobi in Kenya. Several landmarks in the video match those visible in a Google Maps street view of University Way, confirming the incident occurred near the University of Nairobi. Kenyan riot police have used water cannons and tear gas on multiple occasions in recent years to disperse protests in Nairobi, and it is unclear which exact demonstration the video shows. Last week, Kenyan riot police used tear gas against University of Nairobi students who were protesting the university’s decision to raise tuition fees, according to AFP. During a recent televised speech, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that due to a recent rise in COVID-19 cases in the country, vaccines would become mandatory for health care workers by September 15, according to France24. He has not mandated COVID-19 vaccines for all French citizens at the time of publication. The French president announced in the same address that starting in August, anyone who wants to go to certain venues such as restaurants, bars and malls must have a special “health pass” documenting they have been vaccinated against COVID-19, recently tested negative for the virus or recovered from it, according to NPR. The announced rules prompted protests in parts of France, according to Reuters. share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

The claim appears to stem from a website that does not guarantee the “accuracy, completeness or usefulness” of its information. Fact Check: The July 8 post includes what appears to be a screen grab of an article with a featured image showing Biden on one knee in front of Rivlin and Ravitz. The article’s headline reads: “Biden Literally Kneels Before Israeli President in Bizarre and Humiliating Display — Pledges Unconditional Support to Israel.” Biden was not, however, kneeling  before the former president as a display of “unconditional support” to Israel. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found the image published in a July 2 article by the Times of Israel. Biden knelt in front of Ravitz in awe of the fact that she has 12 children, the outlet reported. Rivlin met with Biden at the White House in late June to “reset” the relationship between Israel and the U.S., the Washington Post reported. During the meeting, Biden said his commitment to Israel is “ironclad,” according to a transcript of remarks published by the White House.

Verdict: False The video has been digitally altered. The original video does not show Johnson with a black eye or any visible injury. Fact Check: Johnson announced all remaining coronavirus restrictions in England would be lifted on July 19, despite a recent surge in COVID-19 cases, according to the Associated Press. The country began slowly lifting restrictions in March, starting with reopening schools, the outlet reported. Now, a video on Facebook seemingly shows a news segment aired on BBC News of Johnson speaking with a black eye. The video was first shared on TikTok July 12 and has over 35,000 likes and 6,100 comments. (RELATED: Does This Photo Show Boris Johnson With Ghislaine Maxwell?) The video, however, appears to have been doctored to include the black eye. Check Your Fact found the original video posted on YouTube by BBC on July 12. In the original segment, Johnson is shown speaking at a press conference about England removing the last of the COVID-19 restrictions, and he does not have a black eye. If Johnson actually gave a press briefing while having a black eye, media outlets likely would have reported on it, yet none have. In 2011, when Johnson was the mayor of London, the Evening Standard reported he showed up to vote with a black eye he received after hitting a security barrier headfirst while cycling. Over 1,200 scientists signed a letter to The Lancet criticizing Johnson’s plan to lift COVID-19 restrictions on July 19, calling the decision a “dangerous and unethical experiment,” according to The Guardian. share on facebook tweet this show commentsElias AtienzaFact Check ReporterFollow Elias on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Facebook/Screenshot Verdict: False The image has been digitally altered to include Wine. The original image shows Obama and the Argentinian ambassador to the U.S. in 2016. Fact Check: In the image, Obama and Wine look like they are posing for a photo in what appears to be the Oval Office of the White House. Wine wears a double-breasted suit with a red pocket square. (RELATED: Did Haitian President Jovenel Moise Say He Would Expose The Clinton Foundation The Day Before His Assassination?) The picture, however, has been digitally altered, a reverse image search revealed. The original photo, found in a January 2016 Mendoza Post article, actually shows Obama standing with Argentina’s then-ambassador to the U.S Martín Lousteau. Wine has been digitally superimposed over Lousteau. While Check Your Fact was unable to identify the original source of the Wine photo, pictures of Wine wearing a similar suit can be found online. For example, he wore it in 2020 while wearing a face mask. He can also be seen wearing it in a photo published by The Standard. Social media users have previously spread false information about Wine and U.S. politicians. In December 2020, Check Your Fact debunked the claim that Obama and President Joe Biden tweeted “#FreeBobiWine” after Wine was arrested. Wine lost the 2021 Ugandan presidential election to long-time president Yoweri Museveni, according to CNN. Wine challenged the election results and said he had evidence of fraud, but ultimately withdrew his challenge, The Associated Press reported. share on facebook tweet this show commentsElias AtienzaFact Check ReporterFollow Elias on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False There is no evidence Moïse announced he would expose the Clinton Foundation. The claim appears to stem from a satirical article. Fact Check: A team of gunmen assassinated Moïse and injured his wife in their home on July 7, the Associated Press reported. Now, an image on Facebook seemingly shows a screen grab of an article bearing the headline: “BREAKING: Haitian President Jovenel Moïse to expose Clinton Foundation fraud tomorrow.” Additional text in the image reads, “Last tuesday the president of Haiti told on msm he was gonna expose the Clinton Foundation, one day later he was dead….” Former president and then-U.N. Special Envoy to Haiti Bill Clinton and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were criticized for their performance in helping to lead recovery efforts after the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti which resulted in an estimated 220,000 deaths, according to BBC News. The Clinton Foundation drew criticism and accusations of corruption related to its involvement in aid work and funding following the disaster, the outlet reported. There is no record of Moïse telling the media he planned to reveal fraud perpetrated by the Clinton Foundation. None of the Haitian Ministry of Communication’s 2021 press releases mention the Clinton Foundation. Nor do any of Moïse’s social media posts. An internet search turned up no media reports of Moïse ever saying he was planning to “expose” the Clinton Foundation. Moïse met and spoke with Bill Clinton in September 2018 during the Bloomberg Global Business Forum in New York, and tweeted that the exchange was “a pleasure.” (RELATED: Did Haiti’s First Lady Martine Moïse Die?) The screen grabbed article in the Facebook post appears to stem from an article published on the Genesius Times, a website that describes itself as, “The most reliable source of fake news on the planet.” While the Genesius Times clearly disclaims that the articles on its website are not factual, some social media users have been sharing the claim without such a warning, passing the information off as genuine. share on facebook tweet this show commentsTrevor SchakohlFact Check ReporterFollow Trevor on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?  Send ideas to [email protected].","https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=272178751373056&id=100057427993205,https://apnews.com/article/haiti-president-jovenel-moise-killed-b56a0f8fec0832028bdc51e8d59c6af2,https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37826098,https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37826098,https://www.communication.gouv.ht/rubrique/communiques/,https://twitter.com/search?q=%22Clinton%20Foundation%22%20(from%3Amoisejovenel)&src=typed_query,https://www.facebook.com/page/1390429167954248/search/?q=Clinton%20Foundation,https://www.google.com/search?q=Jovenel+Mo%C3%AFse+Clinton+Foundation&ei=LZDvYICdIpWp5NoPv8K38AU&oq=Jovenel+Mo%C3%AFse+Clinton+Foundation&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBQghEKsCSgQIQRgBUOkFWJYdYKYiaAFwAHgAgAFviAGaA5IBAzUuMZgBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXrAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwjA5-yN9-PxAhWVFFkFHT_hDV4Q4dUDCA4&uact=5,https://twitter.com/moisejovenel/status/1044988661195051010,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/12/fact-check-haiti-first-lady-martine-moise-die/,https://genesiustimes.com/haitian-president-jovenel-moise-to-expose-clinton-foundation-fraud-tomorrow/,https://twitter.com/tschakohl,/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#01757364776e7341626964626a786e7473676062752f626e6c",Did Haitian President Jovenel Moïse Say He Would Expose The Clinton Foundation The Day Before His Assassination?,,,,,, -28,,,,False,,,,checkyourfact,,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/15/fact-check-water-cannon-protesters-south-africa/,Does This Video Show A Water Cannon Being Used On Protesters In South Africa?,2021-07-15,checkyourfact,,"FACT CHECK: Does This Video Show A Water Cannon Being Used On Protesters In South Africa?5:19 PM 07/15/2021Brad Sylvester | Fact Check Reporter share on facebook tweet this show commentsA video shared on Facebook allegedly shows South African protesters being hit with a water cannon. Verdict: False The video, which dates back to 2017, shows Venezuelan protesters being hit with a water cannon. Fact Check: The 18-second video shows a group of protesters, some wearing helmets and carrying shields, being blasted and scattered by a water cannon from a nearby armored vehicle. The caption reads, “A water cannon for riots in South Africa.” Rioting and looting recently broke out in parts of South Africa after former President Jacob Zuma started serving his 15-month jail sentence for contempt of court, according to The Wall Street Journal. The South African military has been deployed to quell the unrest that has left over 70 dead, according to CNN. While water cannons have, according to Eyewitness News and News24, reportedly been used on protesters in South Africa, the video was not taken during the current unrest there. The video dates back to at least 2017, with it being posted on Twitter with a caption indicating it was filmed in Venezuela.

LiveLeak has since shut down, according to The Verge. (RELATED: Are White South Africans Banned From Receiving Government Aid During The COVID-19 Pandemic?) AFP News Agency posted a different angle of the same incident on YouTube in May 2017, with the description saying, “Clashes erupted Wednesday between riot police and opposition protesters in Caracas, as 3,000 protesters headed for the Supreme Court, whose bid on April 1 to strengthen Maduro’s grip on power by stripping authority from the legislature launched a wave of protests and deadly unrest.” if(dc_showing_ads) { var scr = document.createElement('script'); scr.async= true; scr.src = ""https://get.civicscience.com/jspoll/5/csw-polyfills.js""; document.getElementsByTagName(""body"")[0].appendChild(scr); } Venezuelans had frequent demonstrations across the country in protest of President Nicolas Maduro and his government in 2017, according to The Atlantic. Over 100 people in Venezuela died in four months amid the anti-government protests, BBC News reported that year. In the video of the protesters being hit with a water cannon, at least one of them is carrying a shield decorated with the colors of the Venezuelan flag: yellow, blue and red. Images and videos from the 2017 Venezuelan protests show extremely similar interactions between protesters and authorities with water cannons. For instance, protesters carrying shields can be seen squaring off against the white armored vehicles of the Venezuelan National Guard in one video shared on YouTube by the Russian video news agency Ruptly. share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False There is no evidence that $34 quintillion in gold has been taken from the Vatican to be given to “the people.” Fact Check: “Breaking News! The $34 Quintillion in gold seized from the Vatican is being distributed to the people globally,” the Facebook post reads, citing “CBK” as its source. CBK appears to stand for “Caroline Bisset (sic) Kennedy,” according to another Facebook post shared by the user. Caroline Kennedy died alongside her husband, John F. Kennedy Jr., in a plane crash in 1999 off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, according to the New York Times. (RELATED: Was Pope Francis Arrested On Charges Including Human Trafficking And Fraud) There is, however, no evidence that $34 quintillion in gold was seized from the Vatican and will be distributed globally. A search of press releases from the Vatican, as well as the Vatican News website turned up no reports of gold being seized. Had such a large sum of gold been seized with plans to distribute to the mass public, major media outlets certainly would have reported on it, yet none have. “The claim is false,” Fr. Roger Landry, an attaché to the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations, said in an email to Check Your Fact. “A quintillion is a billion billions and there’s not even that much gold, not to mention money, in the world.” The Vatican’s net assets in 2019 were worth roughly 4 billion euros, or about 4.7 billion U.S. dollars, not including the Vatican bank or the Vatican museums, according to Reuters.

Fact Check:  In recent days, Facebook and Twitter users have been sharing a photo of people seemingly protesting in front of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, claiming it shows a demonstration against “lockdown tyranny.” One iteration on Twitter has garnered over 7,000 likes to date. Amid spread of the Delta variant in the country, France recently announced that only those who have been vaccinated or tested negative for COVID-19 will be permitted in certain venues such as restaurants, bars, malls, trains and theaters starting in August, The Wall Street Journal reported. Those announced COVID-19 restrictions prompted protests in several French cities, according to EuroNews. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact discovered the photo predates the COVID-19 pandemic. The Daily Mail published the picture, credited to photographer Olivier Coret, in a November 2018 article about yellow vest protests in France. The yellow vest protests, named after the safety jackets worn by many demonstrators, came after French President Emmanuel Macron announced a green tax on diesel fuel in late 2018, according to NPR. The photo in question can also be found on Divergence Images, where it is attributed to Coret and described as showing a “demonstration of the Yellow Vests on the Champs-Elysees, Paris on November 24, 2018,” according to a Google translation. (RELATED: Does This Photo Show An Anti-Communist Protest In Cuba?) In addition to protesting the diesel fuel green tax, the yellow vest protesters also called for things such as an increase in minimum wage, NPR reported. In early December 2018, the French government scrapped the added green tax on fuel before it was supposed to go into effect, according to the Associated Press. share on facebook tweet this show commentsElias AtienzaFact Check ReporterFollow Elias on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Fact Check: Demonstrations against Cuba’s Communist-run government started in the country July 11, with thousands of Cubans decrying price increases, the government’s COVID-19 response and food and medicine shortages, BBC News reported. Many protesters have called for Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel’s resignation, according to CNN. The picture in the July 13 Facebook post shows a huge crowd stretching down Avenida Paseo in the Cuban capital city of Havana. The caption reads, “C U B A P R O T E S T I N G C O M M U N I S M.” (RELATED: Does This Photo Show Jill Biden Posing With Fidel Castro?) In reality, the pictured event took place over eight years ago and wasn’t held in protest against Cuba’s Communist-run government. The picture was taken in 2013 by a photographer for the Cuban government-controlled outlet CubaDebate, which reported that it shows a May Day parade on May 1 of that year. Other photos of the same parade can be found on Getty Images. Cuba’s then-President Raul Castro attended the 2013 May Day march in Havana, with participants holding pictures of him, former President Fidel Castro, and socialist former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Reuters reported. May Day is also known as International Workers’ Day and has long been celebrated by communists, socialists and labor movements, according to NBC Chicago. Amid the widespread protests this week, the Cuban government shut off access to social media and messaging apps in the country on July 12, with service interruptions occurring into July 14, the Miami Herald reported. share on facebook tweet this show commentsTrevor SchakohlFact Check ReporterFollow Trevor on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?  Send ideas to [email protected].","https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10226115540379600&set=a.1095088542014&type=3&theater,https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-57830160,https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/11/americas/cuba-protests/index.html,https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10226115540379600&set=a.1095088542014&type=3&theater,https://www.google.com/maps/place/Jos%C3%A9+Mart%C3%AD+Memorial/@23.1255174,-82.3897591,664m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x88cd79e1bd4e654b:0x2f4cd3720557f2ad!8m2!3d23.1229226!4d-82.3864972,https://checkyourfact.com/2020/09/07/fact-check-jill-biden-fidel-castro-jacqueline-beer/,https://web.archive.org/web/20210214074729/http://www.cubadebate.cu/noticias/2013/05/01/presidente-cubano-raul-castro-lidera-marcha-por-el-primero-de-mayo/,https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/cuba-may-day-parade-2013?agreements=pa%253A114372%252Ced%253A7788&family=editorial&phrase=cuba%2520may%2520day%2520parade%25202013&sort=best,https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-cuba-mayday/on-may-day-cuba-remembers-best-friend-chavez-idUKBRE9400L620130501,https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/good-question-may-day/1872684/,https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/cuba/article252781053.html,https://twitter.com/tschakohl,/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#75010710031a0735161d10161e0c1a0007131416015b161a18",Does This Photo Show An Anti-Communist Protest In Cuba?,,,,,, -32,,,,False,,,,checkyourfact,,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/15/fact-check-south-african-protesters-free-animals-hluhluwe-game-reserve/,Did South African Protesters Free Animals From the Hluhluwe Game Reserve?,2021-07-15,checkyourfact,,"FACT CHECK: Did South African Protesters Free Animals From the Hluhluwe Game Reserve?12:23 PM 07/15/2021Brad Sylvester | Fact Check Reporter share on facebook tweet this show commentsA video shared on Facebook allegedly shows wild dogs and an elephant running freely after being released by protesters from the Hluhluwe Game Reserve in South Africa. Verdict: False The video, which was taken in 2017, actually shows animals running freely in Kruger National Park. The video is unrelated to the ongoing protests in South Africa. Fact Check: The 20-second video shows a police vehicle on a road with several wild dogs, when suddenly an elephant emerges from the brush, chasing some of them away. “Free Zuma protesters free wild animals from the Hluhluwe Game Reserve in Kwazulu Natal by cutting the fence,” reads the video’s caption. At least 72 people have been killed in South Africa from rioting and looting in recent days prompted by the jailing of former South African President Jacob Zuma, CNN reported. Zuma was sentenced to 15 months in prison for contempt after he failed to appear in front of a commission investigating accusations of corruption, according to The New York Times. The Facebook video does not, however, show the actions of protesters. Had South African protesters released wild animals, media outlets certainly would have reported on it, yet none have. Check Your Fact found the same footage posted on YouTube in July 2017, years before Zuma’s jailing, with the title: “Elephant Shows Wild Dogs & the Police Who’s Boss.” The video was posted by the verified YouTube channel Latest Sightings, which posts videos of “authentic wildlife videos coming from around Africa,” according to its “About” section. The footage was shot by  61-year-old Beryl Venter in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, not Hluhluwe Game Reserve, according to the video’s description. (RELATED: Are White South Africans Banned From Receiving Government Aid During The COVID-19 Pandemic?) “We were on our way home from Letaba after a five-week stay in Kruger – feeling very depressed and not expecting any ‘wow’ sightings,” Venter told Latest Sightings. “We were then suddenly very excited to see the wild dogs running around and playing in the road – twenty-one of them. We were the only vehicle at the sighting. We were taking photos as if it was the last ever sighting we would have of wild dogs running around us.” share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: Misleading The image shows abandoned electric cars in China, not France. Fact Check: The viral image shows what appears to be hundreds of the same, small car abandoned in a grassy field. “Electric car cemetery in France,” reads the image’s caption. “Turns out no one wants to buy an electric car once the battery is shot.” The image was not, however, taken in France. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found similar photos featured in an April 2019 article published by Shanghaiist with the headline: “LOOK: Hundreds of electric cars rust away at ‘shared car graveyard’ in Hangzhou.” The article explained the cars belonged to Microcity, a Chinese electric car rental company. Microcity reportedly claimed the cars were still in use despite users saying they were unable to locate nearby vehicles through the app, Abacus reported in March 2019. (RELATED: Did Ocasio-Cortez Tweet About Electric Cars During Hurricane Dorian?) The same images were shared on the Chinese news website NetEase News with captions that also identify the location as Hangzhou, China. Several landmarks in these photos match with those found in the image shared on Facebook, confirming the locations are the same. Hundreds of ride-sharing companies, including Microcity, opened in China in the late 2010s, a phenomenon driven in part by popularity of the industry and the abundance of electric vehicles in China, according to Abacus. Many of these companies faced economic hardship in the following years, the outlet reported. A similar photo showing a field of cars in France previously circulated on Facebook, claiming the cars had been abandoned due to their batteries no longer working. Reuters debunked the claim, saying the abandoned car lot was due to a company’s contract ending, not faulty batteries. share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False There is no evidence Wine owns a mansion in Boston. He was digitally added to the photo, which actually shows a mansion in Tampa, Florida. Fact Check: Wine, a singer-turned-politician, lost the 2021 Ugandan presidential election to long-time President Yoweri Museveni, CNN reported. Wine asserted there was widespread fraud in the election and filed a lawsuit, which he later withdrew, to over-turn Museveni’s victory, according to Al Jazeera. An image on Facebook claims to show Wine standing in front of a mansion he allegedly purchased in Boston. “Uganda’s musician turned politician Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine has bought a luxurious Bungalow, Cottage located in 20 Ford St, Boston, MA 02128 in USA,” reads the image’s caption. The image, however, has been digitally altered. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found the photo of the house without Wine in front of it, on the real estate website Zillow. The home is located in Tampa, Florida, not Boston, and was last sold in 2018, according to its listing. (RELATED: Did The BBC Air This Chyron Reporting Bobi Wine Will Be Sworn In As Uganda’s President?) A search for the address listed in the post turned up a home for sale in Boston. Photos of the house included in the listing show it does not resemble the house in the Facebook post. Check Your Fact searched Suffolk County’s registry of deeds, but found no records of Wine owning property in Boston. Wine was in the city in early July to meet his “diaspora leadership team,” according to a July 3 tweet he posted. share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Facebook/Screenshot Verdict: False There is no record of BBC News publishing this article about Radiohead fans. It appears to have originated from a Twitter account that often posts satirical content. Fact Check: The image shows what looks like a BBC News article that puts up the headline “Radiohead crowd left red-faced after applauding three minute guitar tuning, mistaking it for new song.” Radiohead is a popular British rock band known for songs such as “Creep” and “Karma Police.” The supposed article places the alleged Radiohead fan incident at a Glastonbury Festival. A search of the BBC News website didn’t turn up any articles with titles matching the one in the Facebook post. Unlike stories published online by BBC News, the alleged Radiohead article doesn’t have a byline, indicating it has been fabricated. A BBC spokesperson confirmed to Check Your Fact in an email that it is fake. In 2017, a real BBC News article described Radiohead’s performance at the Glastonbury Festival that year as “absorbing, challenging and achingly beautiful.” (RELATED: Did Kurt Cobain Predict Trump’s Presidency?) The fabricated Radiohead article first went viral back in 2017, according to NME. It appears to have originated from the Twitter account of the London-based flower delivery company Arena Flowers, which tweeted the fake article June 23, 2017. The Twitter account @ArenaFlowers has previously published seemingly satirical fake BBC News articles, including one about singer Ed Sheeran playing on every Glastonbury stage at the same time using mirrors. share on facebook tweet this show commentsElias AtienzaFact Check ReporterFollow Elias on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

Verdict: False The image actually shows a 2011 protest in Alexandria, Egypt. Fact Check: Amid widespread anti-government protests in Cuba, social media users have been sharing a photo that shows thousands of people gathered in a street. One such July 12 Facebook post claims in the caption that the picture shows Cubans protesting “today.” However, a closer examination of the photo indicates it does not depict an anti-government demonstration that recently occurred in Cuba. Multiple protesters in the picture appear to be waving flags that resemble those of Egypt, Yemen or Syria rather than Cuba. (RELATED: Image Claims To Show Cuban Farmer Before Being Executed For Refusing To Work For The Castro Regime) Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found the picture in a 2012 article from TheJournal.ie that discusses the 2011 Arab Spring uprising in Egypt. The caption for the photo in TheJournal.ie article states it was taken in the Egyptian city of Alexandria in February 2011 and credits it to the Associated Press and Tarek Fawzy. What appears to be a higher resolution version of the photo can be found on AP Images. The caption for the picture on AP Images confirms it was taken in Egypt over a decade ago during an anti-government protest against former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, not during a demonstration in Cuba this month. “Thousands of Egyptian anti-government protesters march in Alexandria, Egypt, Friday, Feb. 11, 2011,” reads the caption. “Mubarak has refused to step down or leave the country, and instead handed his administrative powers to his vice president Omar Suleiman on Thursday, remaining president and ensuring control over the reform process, prompting mass protests by anti-Mubarak demonstrators.” share on facebook tweet this show commentsRyan KingContributor","https://www.facebook.com/303371154019205/posts/549288262760825,https://wsj.com/articles/cuba-protests-whats-happening-11626112390,https://www.facebook.com/303371154019205/posts/549288262760825,https://www.britannica.com/topic/flag-of-Egypt,https://www.britannica.com/topic/flag-of-Yemen,https://www.britannica.com/topic/flag-of-Syria,https://www.britannica.com/topic/flag-of-Cuba,https://checkyourfact.com/2020/09/10/fact-check-cuban-farmer-executed-castro-regime/,https://www.thejournal.ie/timeline-one-year-since-egypts-arab-spring-334766-Jan2012/#slide-slideshow15,https://www.history.com/topics/middle-east/arab-spring,https://www.thejournal.ie/timeline-one-year-since-egypts-arab-spring-334766-Jan2012/#slide-slideshow15,http://www.apimages.com/metadata/Index/Mideast-Egypt/a989c47b844c4a319ab711ee47f7aa3d/62/0,https://www.britannica.com/biography/Hosni-Mubarak,http://www.apimages.com/metadata/Index/Mideast-Egypt/a989c47b844c4a319ab711ee47f7aa3d/62/0",Does This Photo Show A July 12 Protest In Cuba?,,,,,, -37,,,,False,,,,checkyourfact,,https://checkyourfact.com/2021/07/14/fact-check-giant-skeleton-found-thailand/,Does This Image Show A Real Giant Skeleton Found In Thailand?,2021-07-14,checkyourfact,,"FACT CHECK: Does This Image Show A Real Giant Skeleton Found In Thailand?10:33 AM 07/14/2021Trevor Schakohl | Fact Check Reporter share on facebook tweet this show commentsAn image shared on Twitter purportedly shows a giant skeleton found in Thailand in 2017.

The skeleton appeared to have been battling a large horned serpent upon death. pic.twitter.com/p5u8KEYWGC — Untold Universe (@UniverseUntold) June 13, 2021 Verdict: False The image actually shows an art installation created by a Taiwanese artist. Fact Check: The tweet has garnered over 100 likes as of press time. It features a photo of a woman standing above what appears to be an archeological site in which a giant humanoid skeleton lies with a huge serpentine skeleton wrapped around it. “The skeleton of this giant was discovered in November 2017 in a cave in Krabi, Thailand,” reads the tweet. “This was just made public a few months ago. The skeleton appeared to have been battling a large horned serpent upon death.” Contrary to the tweet’s claim, the picture doesn’t show the actual remains of a giant that died battling a massive snake. Taiwan Today published a similar photo in a November 2018 article, explaining it shows Taiwanese artist Tu Wei-cheng’s “Giant Ruins” art installation for the Thailand Biennale exhibition in Krabi. The skeleton was made of plastic, and the installation received special permission to be set up in the cave, according to Taiwan Today. Another photo of Tu’s skeleton installation can be found on the Taiwanese Ministry of Culture’s website. (RELATED: Did A New York Artist Sell ‘Invisible Art’?)

Verdict: False Rhode’s accomplishments were widely covered in the media for more than a decade. She has several sponsors, according to her website. Fact Check: The image shows Kim Rhode, an American double trap and skeet shooter and six-time Olympian, holding a shotgun. “First woman to medal in six straight Olympics media and sponsors ignore her because she is outspoken pro-2A,” reads text included in the image. Rhode won Olympic medals in 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016, making her the first female to win medals in six straight Olympics, according to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. (RELATED: Did American Runner Shelby Houlihan Test Positive For Marijuana?) Rhode is also an outspoken supporter of the Second Amendment, according to the National Rifle Association (NRA). She served on the NRA board from 2017 to 2020, according to Guns.com, and has spoken out against gun control initiatives in her home state of California on multiple occasions. News outlets and sponsors have not “ignored” Rhode for her stance on the Second Amendment. Rhode’s Olympic achievements have been thoroughly reported on over the years by major media outlets including: The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press, among others. Rhode has also made several appearances on national television, such as Today and Fox News @ Night, according to her IMDb page. Her website states she is sponsored by Winchester Ammunition, Beretta USA, the Safari Club International and Truck Vault. In an interview with Time Magazine in August 2016, Rhode did say she believes her outspokenness about gun issues has prevented her from landing mainstream sponsors. She has also said there is a certain “stigma” around her sport because of its association with guns that makes some would-be sponsors wary, The Daily Signal reported. “When you look at the gun debate and the Olympics, there definitely is that stigmatism that’s attached to our sport due to all the negative publicity that guns get,” Rhode told The Daily Signal in 2016. if(dc_showing_ads) { var scr = document.createElement('script'); scr.async= true; scr.src = ""https://get.civicscience.com/jspoll/5/csw-polyfills.js""; document.getElementsByTagName(""body"")[0].appendChild(scr); } Rhode did not qualify for the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, NBC Sports reported. share on facebook tweet this show commentsBrad SylvesterFact Check ReporterFollow Brad on Twitter Have a fact check suggestion?

It also says the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published a review of studies and found wearing a mask doesn’t stop the spread of Covid.In the video, a woman appears to be standing at a podium, talking to an audience off camera. She says: “Nearly 500 people were recently exposed to a Covid positive asymptomatic carrier. Zero got sick. Asymptomatic carriers of Covid do not spread disease.”She goes on to claim: “The CDC a couple weeks ago did a study where they looked at every single other study in the entire world on face mask wearing and this is what they found. The CDC found, quote, ‘no reduction in viral transmission with the use of face masks’.”The words “the information is there dont say u wernt warned” are printed on the video. It’s been shared more than 1,200 times so far, including in South Africa. Since Covid-19 was declared a pandemic in early 2020, the World Health Organization has warned that Covid patients who don’t show any symptoms of the disease can still spread it to others. It also says masks are a “key measure to suppress transmission and save lives”.Do studies prove that asymptomatic Covid-19 patients can’t spread the disease? And has a CDC analysis found that masks don’t reduce transmission?Video of US attorney Leigh DundasThe video does not identify the woman, where she is, or when the video was taken. It’s poor quality, taken from an original that doesn’t appear to be online anymore.But we did find a short video on Vimeo of a woman named Leigh Dundas, speaking on 13 April. Based on her voice, hairstyle, clothing and the background, it’s likely that the video on Facebook shows this woman, at the same event.In the Vimeo video she identifies herself as a human rights attorney. The video is captioned “Leigh Dundas, Board of Supervisors, April 13 2021”. Dundas, a US attorney, publicly supports that country’s anti-vaccination movement. Voice of OC reports that, in May, she helped organise residents in California’s Orange county to go to local Board of Education meetings to petition against mandatory vaccinations and “vaccine passports”.As Africa Check has found, there is no such thing as mandatory or “universal” vaccination in the US. And vaccine passports don’t exist there.Asymptomatic patients can transmit the virusIn the Facebook video, Dundas refers to a May 2020 study in Wuhan, China. It’s titled A study on infectivity of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers. The Covid-19 pandemic is thought to have started in Wuhan.The researchers studied 455 people who had been in contact with asymptomatic Covid-positive patients. None of the 455 tested positive for Covid-19. But the study didn’t find that people with asymptomatic Covid-19 can’t transmit the virus. Instead, it concluded that “the infectivity of some asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers might be weak”. SARS-CoV-2 is the formal name of the new coronavirus that causes Covid-19.Other studies of asymptomatic carriers have found that they can transmit the virus.A January 2021 study looked at 2,250 people in a “confined” community of university staff in the Canadian province of Quebec. Confinement, the study says, is “used to reflect social restrictions instructed by Quebec's government”.It found that 1.82% of the staff were asymptomatic carriers. None had contact with any known Covid patients. The researchers concluded: “Our results raise concerns about the possibility of viral spread through asymptomatic transmission.” But they added that the rate of asymptomatic transmission was unknown.In February 2021, a study based on daily mass screenings of some 20,000 residents of Luxembourg, a small country in Europe, was published. It found that, on average, asymptomatic patients infected the same number of people as patients with Covid-19 symptoms. The researchers concluded: “Asymptomatic carriers represent a significant risk for transmission.”CDC: Masks reduce Covid spreadAnd what about Dundas’s claim that a CDC analysis had found that masks didn’t reduce the amount of coronavirus transmitted between people?This is not what the CDC website says. A science brief on the site, updated on 7 May 2021, quotes several studies that found face masks reduced the risk of Covid-19 infection by as much as 79%, and had led to declines in daily new cases.The CDC concludes: “Experimental and epidemiological data support community masking to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2.” The CDC also says that making people wear masks can help prevent possible lockdowns in the future. The benefits increase when people are also required to use other measures against Covid: social distancing, hand washing and good ventilation. Conclusion: Video’s claims are falseIn a video posted on Facebook, US anti-vaccination advocate and lawyer Leigh Dundas claims that asymptomatic Covid-19 patients can’t transmit the virus. She also says a study by the US Centers for Disease Control found that masks don’t reduce the spread of the disease.But the CDC study doesn’t conclude that asymptomatic patients can’t transmit the virus. And  other studies have found that asymptomatic patients do transmit the virus. The CDC has published studies supporting the benefits of masks, and says wearing masks can reduce the spread of Covid-19.",,"No, asymptomatic Covid patients can transmit the virus, and masks

and France... Yep its happening, time to unlesh the new TRUTH variant,” reads the caption of two photos of what seem to be mass protests, posted on Facebook in July 2021 and shared in South Africa.The first photo shows a huge crowd of people on an avenue in Paris, France’s capital city. The city’s famous Arc de Triomphe can be seen in the background. Many in the crowd are wearing yellow reflective vests.The second photo is of another crowd, flanked by police, in a city square. The flag of Greece can be seen waving in the crowd.The photos were also posted on an Australia-based Facebook page, with a similar caption: “Greece & France! Thousands rally against COVID-19 vaccinations and government restrictions.”But do the photos really show people “unleashing the TRUTH variant” in protests against Covid-19 measures in Greece and France?Protest against vaccinations in Greece, against fuel tax in FranceA Google reverse image search of the second photo reveals that it does indeed show a rally against Covid-19 vaccinations, in the Greek capital of Athens on 14 July.The photo appears in an article on M3 News, an international online news magazine.“More than 5,000 anti-vaccine protesters, some of them waving Greek flags and wooden crosses, rallied in Athens on Wednesday to oppose Greece’s coronavirus vaccinations program,” the article reads.It adds: “Protests are fairly common in Greece and there have been several in recent months on issues ranging from new labour law to the most recent Israeli military campaign on Gaza.”But a TinEye reverse image search of the first photo, filtered for the oldest version, reveals that it has been online since at least 4 December 2018 – over a year before the coronavirus was first identified in late December 2019.The photo can be found on the French-language stock photo website Divergence Images. A machine translation of its caption reads: “Demonstration of the Yellow Vests on the Champs-Elysees, Paris on November 24, 2018.” It was taken by Olivier Coret.According to the US National Public Radio website, the 2018 yellow vests protests in France were sparked by the announcement of a new environmental tax on fuel.“Nicknamed for the safety vests worn by protesters, known as gilets jaunes, the yellow vest movement has sparked a political crisis for the French government,” the NPR says.“The protests started in the French provinces but spread to Paris, where demonstrations turned into riots over the weekend and scenes of violent civil unrest played out along the city's famous Avenue des Champs Élysées.”The second photo does show a protest against Covid-19 vaccinations, in Greece,

shared on Facebook in Nigeria claims that garlic can be used to lower high blood pressure.It also credits the World Health Organization (WHO) with saying garlic helps to reduce blood pressure in patients with moderate hypertension.“Garlic works in a way to increase the size of the arteries, which makes it easier for blood to pass. In addition, due to its diuretic properties, it reduces the volume of water in the body and therefore blood pressure,” reads part of the post.The post does include an unusual warning: “Be careful, even regular consumption of garlic does not exempt from appropriate treatment, especially in people with severe hypertension.” But is there any scientific evidence that the bulbous flowering plant can be used to manage high blood pressure? We checked.High blood pressure leads to 9.4 mn deaths annuallyAccording to the WHO, high blood pressure, also called hypertension, is when the force exerted by blood pushing against the walls of the arteries is higher than what is considered normal.“Hypertension is diagnosed if, when it is measured on two different days, the systolic blood pressure readings on both days are greater than 140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure readings on both days are greater than 90 mmHg,” says a WHO fact sheet on hypertension.Blood pressure is measured in units of millimeters of mercury, or mmHg. It is recorded as two numbers, the systolic or upper value first, followed by the diastolic or lower value. About 1.13 billion people around the world have high blood pressure, with the majority living in low- and middle-income countries. This leads to about 9.4 million deaths annually, says the WHO.‘Not approved by health authorities’ – expertSome studies have documented the potential of garlic in lowering high blood pressure in a similar way to standard medication. A review of trials involving garlic concludes that the vitamin B status of an individual is “an important factor for the responsiveness of high blood pressure to garlic”.But Basden Onwubere, a professor of medicine at the University of Nigeria in southeastern Nigeria, was sceptical. He told Africa Check: “Such prescriptions cannot be made by doctors.” “There are studies that have been published about the use of garlic in managing some health conditions but I am not aware of any traditional medicine that has been approved officially by Nafdac for use in managing high blood pressure,” he said.Nafdac is Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, responsible for regulating and controlling drugs, among other substances.Onwubere said: “Until that [approval] becomes available, what we are using now is the orthodox way of managing hypertension. This is medication and advice on managing the patient’s diet.”Africa Check has also checked claims on Facebook that ginger or ginger tea can prevent heart attack and stroke, and that mixing lemon, ginger and garlic cures high blood pressure. Like this claim, we found no conclusive evidence to support these.

But officials have not disclosed where and how.According to Nigeria's justice minister, Abubakar Malami, Kanu was brought back to Nigeria to face trial, after jumping bail in 2019.‘11-count charge’Kanu was previously arrested on 14 October 2015 on 11 charges, including terrorism, treasonable felony and managing an unlawful society. He was granted bail in 2017.He is also accused of inciting violence against the Nigerian state and institutions through TV, radio and online broadcasts, and of instigating violence, particularly in southeastern Nigeria.Kanu appeared before a federal high court in Abuja on 29 June 2021, two days after his arrest.

Sunday Adeyemo (AKA) Igboho and his wife German citizen has been released and allows to board plane on their way to Germany #BeninRepublicNoBeKenya.”The post has been shared several times and some commenters were happy.One Facebook user said: “Just can't express my joy for the great news!!!”Another said: “Good to hear this, shame to the haters.”However, others said the claim was not true.Were Sunday and Ropo Adeyemo jailed and have they been released from custody in Benin?Igboho still held but wife releasedThe Adeyemos fled Nigeria for the neighbouring Republic of Benin in early July after their Ibadan home was raided by the the Department of State Services.Ammunition and weapons were found on the premises during the raid.The Nigerian government then issued a warrant for Sunday Adeyemo’s arrest.On 19 July, the couple were arrested in the port city of Cotonou by Beninoise authorities while trying to travel to Germany.

This is not all the mining deaths in the world.There is a lack of reliable global statistics on mining fatalities. Deaths from mining diseases, and the deaths of contractors and small-scale miners, tend to be under-reported.“About 50% of global mining deaths occur in South Africa. Yet no single mining executive has been held accountable,” reads a tweet with more than 850 likes, which has been shared over 500 times on Twitter. The claim has also been posted on Facebook and other social media.When another user asked for “receipts” supporting the claim, the person who posted it said the data came from the International Council on Mining and Metals. Is the claim backed by data? We checked. Only 28 members included in rankingThe source of this claim is a 2020 report published by the International Council on Mining and Minerals (ICMM). The mining association collates the number of workplace accidents and fatalities recorded by its members.But the ICMM told Africa Check that its 28 member companies represent only about a third of the global mining industry. Not all mining companies are members and not all countries are represented. According to the report, South Africa recorded 22 out of 44 fatalities in 2020. This is 50% of deaths reported by its members – not 50% of global deaths. South Africa also accounted for more total working hours than any other individual country: 17.7% of all recorded hours in 2020.Government records more mining deathsSouth Africa has regularly fared worst in the ICMM’s safety reports. It has contributed the most deaths every year since 2015, the first year the council recorded location data. The one exception was 2019, when the Brumadinho dam disaster in Brazil claimed more than 250 lives.But the ICMM’s records likely don’t even represent all mining deaths in South Africa. The last year the country’s department of mineral resources and energy released a tally of mining fatalities was 2018. In that year, the department recorded 81 fatalities, while South African ICMM members recorded just 14.Data on global mining deaths is limited According to the Minerals Council South Africa (MCSA), another mining industry employers’ organisation, the ICMM’s 28 members “exclude huge numbers of mining businesses in many parts of the world, including some major mining jurisdictions, most notably China”.But determining the total number of mining fatalities around the world is not easy.“There is no one record of all industry fatalities,” the ICMM told Africa Check. “Individual companies will release their fatality numbers in their own sustainability and annual reports.”In 2019 the Wall Street Journal reported that many of the world’s mining fatalities may not even be counted. Its analysis of mining companies’ safety reports found that many did not record the deaths of contractors, workers transporting extracted minerals or deaths at joint mining ventures, which are managed by more than one company.The journal even found that more than half of the people who died in the 2019 Brumadinho dam disaster may not have been included in the official mining death toll. Deaths from mining diseases are even more likely to go unrecorded.Artisanal mining deaths may not be recordedAnother category of fatalities which may go overlooked is artisanal mining. In 2013, the World Bank estimated that there were “approximately 100 million artisanal miners globally”. This form of small-scale mining is often, but not always, conducted illegally. Deaths in this sector are more likely to go unrecorded. In June 2021 the bodies of 20 people believed to be illegal miners or “zama-zamas” were found near abandoned mine shafts in Johannesburg. In a 2016 report, human rights organisation Amnesty International said that in artisanal cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, “many accidents go unrecorded and bodies are left buried in the rubble”.And a 2004 publication by philanthropy organisation Oxfam, in collaboration with environmental non-profit Earthworks, found that “health and safety data for ASM [artisanal and small-scale mining] are sketchy, but the sector appears to experience a significantly higher accident rate than the industry as a whole”.Conclusion: South Africa accounts for 50% of mining deaths recorded by 28 companies in a single report – not 50% of global deaths. A widely shared social media post claims that South Africa accounted for “about 50% of global mining deaths”. But the report cited as evidence gives mining fatalities for 28 companies in 2020. That year South Africa accounted for half of the 44 recorded fatalities. The report likely doesn't even represent all mining deaths in South Africa. It also excludes major miners and mining countries such as China. We therefore rate the claim misleading. But data on global mining fatalities is fraught with problems. Beyond the lack of reliable global statistics, deaths from disease, and the deaths of contractors and small-scale miners, are regularly under-reported across the world. More and better data is needed to accurately determine how many deaths are due to mining, both globally and in South Africa.",,"No, South Africa does not account for ‘50% of global mining deaths’","mining, global, deaths",,,,,"h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,a,f,r,i,c,a,c,h,e,c,k,.,o,r,g,/,s,i,t,e,s,/,d,e,f,a,u,l,t,/,f,i,l,e,s,/,m,e,d,i,a,/,i,m,a,g,e,s,/,2,0,2,1,-,0,7,/,S,c,r,e,e,n,s,h,o,t,_,2,0,2,1,-,0,6,-,2,1,_,a,t,_,1,6,-,0,0,-,4,7,_,T,_,o,n,_,T,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,p,n,g,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,o,k,h,a,t,h,i,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,1,3,4,7,7,3,2,3,2,4,1,8,8,1,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,M,d,u,Z,o,n,d,o,/,p,o,s,t,s,/,4,0,8,5,2,0,6,8,9,1,5,3,4,3,9,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,n,h,l,a,m,z,a,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,4,9,1,7,8,7,5,4,4,4,3,2,6,4,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,o,k,h,a,t,h,i,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,1,3,4,7,7,3,2,3,2,4,1,8,8,1,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,2,0,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,a,b,o,u,t,-,u,s,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,a,b,o,u,t,-,u,s,/,o,u,r,-,m,e,m,b,e,r,s,/,m,e,m,b,e,r,-,c,o,m,p,a,n,i,e,s,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,9,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,8,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,5,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,s,c,i,e,n,c,e,d,i,r,e,c,t,.,c,o,m,/,s,c,i,e,n,c,e,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,/,p,i,i,/,S,0,3,0,3,2,4,3,4,2,0,3,0,0,1,9,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,d,m,r,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,d,m,r,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,P,o,r,t,a,l,s,/,0,/,R,e,s,o,u,r,c,e,s,/,A,n,n,u,a,l,%,2,0,R,e,p,o,r,t,s,/,D,M,R,_,a,n,n,u,a,l,_,r,e,p,o,r,t,_,2,0,1,9,_,l,o,w,%,2,0,r,e,s,.,p,d,f,?,v,e,r,=,2,0,1,9,-,1,1,-,0,5,-,1,6,1,4,1,2,-,8,8,3,#,p,a,g,e,=,1,1,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,8,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,m,i,n,e,r,a,l,s,c,o,u,n,c,i,l,.,o,r,g,.,z,a,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,s,/,t,h,e,-,h,i,d,d,e,n,-,d,e,a,t,h,s,-,o,f,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,-,1,1,5,7,7,8,2,5,5,5,5,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,s,/,t,h,e,-,h,i,d,d,e,n,-,d,e,a,t,h,s,-,o,f,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,-,1,1,5,7,7,8,2,5,5,5,5,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,i,t,i,.,o,r,g,/,A,S,M,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,o,r,l,d,b,a,n,k,.,o,r,g,/,e,n,/,t,o,p,i,c,/,e,x,t,r,a,c,t,i,v,e,i,n,d,u,s,t,r,i,e,s,/,b,r,i,e,f,/,a,r,t,i,s,a,n,a,l,-,a,n,d,-,s,m,a,l,l,-,s,c,a,l,e,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,t,i,m,e,s,l,i,v,e,.,c,o,.,z,a,/,n,e,w,s,/,s,o,u,t,h,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,/,2,0,2,1,-,0,6,-,1,5,-,t,w,e,n,t,y,-,b,o,d,i,e,s,-,o,f,-,a,l,l,e,g,e,d,-,z,a,m,a,-,z,a,m,a,s,-,f,o,u,n,d,-,o,u,t,s,i,d,e,-,k,l,e,r,k,s,d,o,r,p,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,a,m,n,e,s,t,y,u,s,a,.,o,r,g,/,r,e,p,o,r,t,s,/,t,h,i,s,-,i,s,-,w,h,a,t,-,w,e,-,d,i,e,-,f,o,r,-,h,u,m,a,n,-,r,i,g,h,t,s,-,a,b,u,s,e,s,-,i,n,-,t,h,e,-,d,e,m,o,c,r,a,t,i,c,-,r,e,p,u,b,l,i,c,-,o,f,-,t,h,e,-,c,o,n,g,o,-,p,o,w,e,r,-,t,h,e,-,g,l,o,b,a,l,-,t,r,a,d,e,-,i,n,-,c,o,b,a,l,t,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,a,m,n,e,s,t,y,u,s,a,.,o,r,g,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,p,u,b,l,i,c,a,t,i,o,n,s,/,d,i,r,t,y,_,m,e,t,a,l,s,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,o,x,f,a,m,.,o,r,g,/,e,n,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,c,m,s,/,a,s,s,e,t,s,/,u,p,l,o,a,d,s,/,a,r,c,h,i,v,e,/,f,i,l,e,s,/,p,u,b,l,i,c,a,t,i,o,n,s,/,D,i,r,t,y,M,e,t,a,l,s,_,W,o,r,k,e,r,s,.,p,d,f,#,p,a,g,e,=,2" +7,,,,Incorrect,Fatima Abubakar,,,africacheck,https://africacheck.org/about/authors/fatima-abubakar,https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/fbchecks/lemon-zobo-baya-maganin-zazzabi-aje-asibiti,,2021-07-27,africacheck,,"Wani rubutu da aka buga a Facebook yayi iƙirarin cewa lemon zoɓo “na maganin zazzaɓi.”“ Yadda ake lemon zoɓo na magani,” rubutun ya fara.

It also says the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published a review of studies and found wearing a mask doesn’t stop the spread of Covid.In the video, a woman appears to be standing at a podium, talking to an audience off camera. She says: “Nearly 500 people were recently exposed to a Covid positive asymptomatic carrier. Zero got sick. Asymptomatic carriers of Covid do not spread disease.”She goes on to claim: “The CDC a couple weeks ago did a study where they looked at every single other study in the entire world on face mask wearing and this is what they found. The CDC found, quote, ‘no reduction in viral transmission with the use of face masks’.”The words “the information is there dont say u wernt warned” are printed on the video. It’s been shared more than 1,200 times so far, including in South Africa. Since Covid-19 was declared a pandemic in early 2020, the World Health Organization has warned that Covid patients who don’t show any symptoms of the disease can still spread it to others. It also says masks are a “key measure to suppress transmission and save lives”.Do studies prove that asymptomatic Covid-19 patients can’t spread the disease? And has a CDC analysis found that masks don’t reduce transmission?Video of US attorney Leigh DundasThe video does not identify the woman, where she is, or when the video was taken. It’s poor quality, taken from an original that doesn’t appear to be online anymore.But we did find a short video on Vimeo of a woman named Leigh Dundas, speaking on 13 April. Based on her voice, hairstyle, clothing and the background, it’s likely that the video on Facebook shows this woman, at the same event.In the Vimeo video she identifies herself as a human rights attorney. The video is captioned “Leigh Dundas, Board of Supervisors, April 13 2021”. Dundas, a US attorney, publicly supports that country’s anti-vaccination movement. Voice of OC reports that, in May, she helped organise residents in California’s Orange county to go to local Board of Education meetings to petition against mandatory vaccinations and “vaccine passports”.As Africa Check has found, there is no such thing as mandatory or “universal” vaccination in the US. And vaccine passports don’t exist there.Asymptomatic patients can transmit the virusIn the Facebook video, Dundas refers to a May 2020 study in Wuhan, China. It’s titled A study on infectivity of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers. The Covid-19 pandemic is thought to have started in Wuhan.The researchers studied 455 people who had been in contact with asymptomatic Covid-positive patients. None of the 455 tested positive for Covid-19. But the study didn’t find that people with asymptomatic Covid-19 can’t transmit the virus. Instead, it concluded that “the infectivity of some asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers might be weak”. SARS-CoV-2 is the formal name of the new coronavirus that causes Covid-19.Other studies of asymptomatic carriers have found that they can transmit the virus.A January 2021 study looked at 2,250 people in a “confined” community of university staff in the Canadian province of Quebec. Confinement, the study says, is “used to reflect social restrictions instructed by Quebec's government”.It found that 1.82% of the staff were asymptomatic carriers. None had contact with any known Covid patients. The researchers concluded: “Our results raise concerns about the possibility of viral spread through asymptomatic transmission.” But they added that the rate of asymptomatic transmission was unknown.In February 2021, a study based on daily mass screenings of some 20,000 residents of Luxembourg, a small country in Europe, was published. It found that, on average, asymptomatic patients infected the same number of people as patients with Covid-19 symptoms. The researchers concluded: “Asymptomatic carriers represent a significant risk for transmission.”CDC: Masks reduce Covid spreadAnd what about Dundas’s claim that a CDC analysis had found that masks didn’t reduce the amount of coronavirus transmitted between people?This is not what the CDC website says. A science brief on the site, updated on 7 May 2021, quotes several studies that found face masks reduced the risk of Covid-19 infection by as much as 79%, and had led to declines in daily new cases.The CDC concludes: “Experimental and epidemiological data support community masking to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2.” The CDC also says that making people wear masks can help prevent possible lockdowns in the future. The benefits increase when people are also required to use other measures against Covid: social distancing, hand washing and good ventilation. Conclusion: Video’s claims are falseIn a video posted on Facebook, US anti-vaccination advocate and lawyer Leigh Dundas claims that asymptomatic Covid-19 patients can’t transmit the virus. She also says a study by the US Centers for Disease Control found that masks don’t reduce the spread of the disease.But the CDC study doesn’t conclude that asymptomatic patients can’t transmit the virus.

and France... Yep its happening, time to unlesh the new TRUTH variant,” reads the caption of two photos of what seem to be mass protests, posted on Facebook in July 2021 and shared in South Africa.The first photo shows a huge crowd of people on an avenue in Paris, France’s capital city. The city’s famous Arc de Triomphe can be seen in the background. Many in the crowd are wearing yellow reflective vests.The second photo is of another crowd, flanked by police, in a city square. The flag of Greece can be seen waving in the crowd.The photos were also posted on an Australia-based Facebook page, with a similar caption: “Greece & France! Thousands rally against COVID-19 vaccinations and government restrictions.”But do the photos really show people “unleashing the TRUTH variant” in protests against Covid-19 measures in Greece and France?Protest against vaccinations in Greece, against fuel tax in FranceA Google reverse image search of the second photo reveals that it does indeed show a rally against Covid-19 vaccinations, in the Greek capital of Athens on 14 July.The photo appears in an article on M3 News, an international online news magazine.“More than 5,000 anti-vaccine protesters, some of them waving Greek flags and wooden crosses, rallied in Athens on Wednesday to oppose Greece’s coronavirus vaccinations program,” the article reads.It adds: “Protests are fairly common in Greece and there have been several in recent months on issues ranging from new labour law to the most recent Israeli military campaign on Gaza.”But a TinEye reverse image search of the first photo, filtered for the oldest version, reveals that it has been online since at least 4 December 2018 – over a year before the coronavirus was first identified in late December 2019.The photo can be found on the French-language stock photo website Divergence Images. A machine translation of its caption reads: “Demonstration of the Yellow Vests on the Champs-Elysees, Paris on November 24, 2018.” It was taken by Olivier Coret.According to the US National Public Radio website, the 2018 yellow vests protests in France were sparked by the announcement of a new environmental tax on fuel.“Nicknamed for the safety vests worn by protesters, known as gilets jaunes, the yellow vest movement has sparked a political crisis for the French government,” the NPR says.“The protests started in the French provinces but spread to Paris, where demonstrations turned into riots over the weekend and scenes of violent civil unrest played out along the city's famous Avenue des Champs Élysées.”The second photo does show a protest against Covid-19 vaccinations, in Greece,

shared on Facebook in Nigeria claims that garlic can be used to lower high blood pressure.It also credits the World Health Organization (WHO) with saying garlic helps to reduce blood pressure in patients with moderate hypertension.“Garlic works in a way to increase the size of the arteries, which makes it easier for blood to pass. In addition, due to its diuretic properties, it reduces the volume of water in the body and therefore blood pressure,” reads part of the post.The post does include an unusual warning: “Be careful, even regular consumption of garlic does not exempt from appropriate treatment, especially in people with severe hypertension.” But is there any scientific evidence that the bulbous flowering plant can be used to manage high blood pressure? We checked.High blood pressure leads to 9.4 mn deaths annuallyAccording to the WHO, high blood pressure, also called hypertension, is when the force exerted by blood pushing against the walls of the arteries is higher than what is considered normal.“Hypertension is diagnosed if, when it is measured on two different days, the systolic blood pressure readings on both days are greater than 140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure readings on both days are greater than 90 mmHg,” says a WHO fact sheet on hypertension.Blood pressure is measured in units of millimeters of mercury, or mmHg. It is recorded as two numbers, the systolic or upper value first, followed by the diastolic or lower value. About 1.13 billion people around the world have high blood pressure, with the majority living in low- and middle-income countries. This leads to about 9.4 million deaths annually, says the WHO.‘Not approved by health authorities’ – expertSome studies have documented the potential of garlic in lowering high blood pressure in a similar way to standard medication. A review of trials involving garlic concludes that the vitamin B status of an individual is “an important factor for the responsiveness of high blood pressure to garlic”.But Basden Onwubere, a professor of medicine at the University of Nigeria in southeastern Nigeria, was sceptical. He told Africa Check: “Such prescriptions cannot be made by doctors.” “There are studies that have been published about the use of garlic in managing some health conditions but I am not aware of any traditional medicine that has been approved officially by Nafdac for use in managing high blood pressure,” he said.Nafdac is Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, responsible for regulating and controlling drugs, among other substances.Onwubere said: “Until that [approval] becomes available, what we are using now is the orthodox way of managing hypertension. This is medication and advice on managing the patient’s diet.”Africa Check has also checked claims on Facebook that ginger or ginger tea can prevent heart attack and stroke, and that mixing lemon, ginger and garlic cures high blood pressure. Like this claim, we found no conclusive evidence to support these.

But officials have not disclosed where and how.According to Nigeria's justice minister, Abubakar Malami, Kanu was brought back to Nigeria to face trial, after jumping bail in 2019.‘11-count charge’Kanu was previously arrested on 14 October 2015 on 11 charges, including terrorism, treasonable felony and managing an unlawful society. He was granted bail in 2017.He is also accused of inciting violence against the Nigerian state and institutions through TV, radio and online broadcasts, and of instigating violence, particularly in southeastern Nigeria.Kanu appeared before a federal high court in Abuja on 29 June 2021, two days after his arrest.

Sunday Adeyemo (AKA) Igboho and his wife German citizen has been released and allows to board plane on their way to Germany #BeninRepublicNoBeKenya.”The post has been shared several times and some commenters were happy.One Facebook user said: “Just can't express my joy for the great news!!!”Another said: “Good to hear this, shame to the haters.”However, others said the claim was not true.Were Sunday and Ropo Adeyemo jailed and have they been released from custody in Benin?Igboho still held but wife releasedThe Adeyemos fled Nigeria for the neighbouring Republic of Benin in early July after their Ibadan home was raided by the the Department of State Services.Ammunition and weapons were found on the premises during the raid.The Nigerian government then issued a warrant for Sunday Adeyemo’s arrest.On 19 July, the couple were arrested in the port city of Cotonou by Beninoise authorities while trying to travel to Germany.

This is not all the mining deaths in the world.There is a lack of reliable global statistics on mining fatalities. Deaths from mining diseases, and the deaths of contractors and small-scale miners, tend to be under-reported.“About 50% of global mining deaths occur in South Africa. Yet no single mining executive has been held accountable,” reads a tweet with more than 850 likes, which has been shared over 500 times on Twitter. The claim has also been posted on Facebook and other social media.When another user asked for “receipts” supporting the claim, the person who posted it said the data came from the International Council on Mining and Metals. Is the claim backed by data? We checked. Only 28 members included in rankingThe source of this claim is a 2020 report published by the International Council on Mining and Minerals (ICMM). The mining association collates the number of workplace accidents and fatalities recorded by its members.But the ICMM told Africa Check that its 28 member companies represent only about a third of the global mining industry. Not all mining companies are members and not all countries are represented. According to the report, South Africa recorded 22 out of 44 fatalities in 2020. This is 50% of deaths reported by its members – not 50% of global deaths. South Africa also accounted for more total working hours than any other individual country: 17.7% of all recorded hours in 2020.Government records more mining deathsSouth Africa has regularly fared worst in the ICMM’s safety reports. It has contributed the most deaths every year since 2015, the first year the council recorded location data. The one exception was 2019, when the Brumadinho dam disaster in Brazil claimed more than 250 lives.But the ICMM’s records likely don’t even represent all mining deaths in South Africa. The last year the country’s department of mineral resources and energy released a tally of mining fatalities was 2018. In that year, the department recorded 81 fatalities, while South African ICMM members recorded just 14.Data on global mining deaths is limited According to the Minerals Council South Africa (MCSA), another mining industry employers’ organisation, the ICMM’s 28 members “exclude huge numbers of mining businesses in many parts of the world, including some major mining jurisdictions, most notably China”.But determining the total number of mining fatalities around the world is not easy.“There is no one record of all industry fatalities,” the ICMM told Africa Check. “Individual companies will release their fatality numbers in their own sustainability and annual reports.”In 2019 the Wall Street Journal reported that many of the world’s mining fatalities may not even be counted. Its analysis of mining companies’ safety reports found that many did not record the deaths of contractors, workers transporting extracted minerals or deaths at joint mining ventures, which are managed by more than one company.The journal even found that more than half of the people who died in the 2019 Brumadinho dam disaster may not have been included in the official mining death toll. Deaths from mining diseases are even more likely to go unrecorded.Artisanal mining deaths may not be recordedAnother category of fatalities which may go overlooked is artisanal mining. In 2013, the World Bank estimated that there were “approximately 100 million artisanal miners globally”. This form of small-scale mining is often, but not always, conducted illegally. Deaths in this sector are more likely to go unrecorded. In June 2021 the bodies of 20 people believed to be illegal miners or “zama-zamas” were found near abandoned mine shafts in Johannesburg. In a 2016 report, human rights organisation Amnesty International said that in artisanal cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, “many accidents go unrecorded and bodies are left buried in the rubble”.And a 2004 publication by philanthropy organisation Oxfam, in collaboration with environmental non-profit Earthworks, found that “health and safety data for ASM [artisanal and small-scale mining] are sketchy, but the sector appears to experience a significantly higher accident rate than the industry as a whole”.Conclusion: South Africa accounts for 50% of mining deaths recorded by 28 companies in a single report – not 50% of global deaths. A widely shared social media post claims that South Africa accounted for “about 50% of global mining deaths”. But the report cited as evidence gives mining fatalities for 28 companies in 2020. That year South Africa accounted for half of the 44 recorded fatalities. The report likely doesn't even represent all mining deaths in South Africa. It also excludes major miners and mining countries such as China. We therefore rate the claim misleading. But data on global mining fatalities is fraught with problems. Beyond the lack of reliable global statistics, deaths from disease, and the deaths of contractors and small-scale miners, are regularly under-reported across the world. More and better data is needed to accurately determine how many deaths are due to mining, both globally and in South Africa.",,"No, South Africa does not account for ‘50% of global mining deaths’","mining, global, deaths",,,,,"h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,a,f,r,i,c,a,c,h,e,c,k,.,o,r,g,/,s,i,t,e,s,/,d,e,f,a,u,l,t,/,f,i,l,e,s,/,m,e,d,i,a,/,i,m,a,g,e,s,/,2,0,2,1,-,0,7,/,S,c,r,e,e,n,s,h,o,t,_,2,0,2,1,-,0,6,-,2,1,_,a,t,_,1,6,-,0,0,-,4,7,_,T,_,o,n,_,T,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,p,n,g,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,o,k,h,a,t,h,i,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,1,3,4,7,7,3,2,3,2,4,1,8,8,1,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,M,d,u,Z,o,n,d,o,/,p,o,s,t,s,/,4,0,8,5,2,0,6,8,9,1,5,3,4,3,9,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,n,h,l,a,m,z,a,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,4,9,1,7,8,7,5,4,4,4,3,2,6,4,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,o,k,h,a,t,h,i,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,1,3,4,7,7,3,2,3,2,4,1,8,8,1,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,2,0,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,a,b,o,u,t,-,u,s,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,a,b,o,u,t,-,u,s,/,o,u,r,-,m,e,m,b,e,r,s,/,m,e,m,b,e,r,-,c,o,m,p,a,n,i,e,s,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,9,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,8,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,5,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,s,c,i,e,n,c,e,d,i,r,e,c,t,.,c,o,m,/,s,c,i,e,n,c,e,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,/,p,i,i,/,S,0,3,0,3,2,4,3,4,2,0,3,0,0,1,9,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,d,m,r,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,d,m,r,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,P,o,r,t,a,l,s,/,0,/,R,e,s,o,u,r,c,e,s,/,A,n,n,u,a,l,%,2,0,R,e,p,o,r,t,s,/,D,M,R,_,a,n,n,u,a,l,_,r,e,p,o,r,t,_,2,0,1,9,_,l,o,w,%,2,0,r,e,s,.,p,d,f,?,v,e,r,=,2,0,1,9,-,1,1,-,0,5,-,1,6,1,4,1,2,-,8,8,3,#,p,a,g,e,=,1,1,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,8,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,m,i,n,e,r,a,l,s,c,o,u,n,c,i,l,.,o,r,g,.,z,a,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,s,/,t,h,e,-,h,i,d,d,e,n,-,d,e,a,t,h,s,-,o,f,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,-,1,1,5,7,7,8,2,5,5,5,5,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,s,/,t,h,e,-,h,i,d,d,e,n,-,d,e,a,t,h,s,-,o,f,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,-,1,1,5,7,7,8,2,5,5,5,5,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,i,t,i,.,o,r,g,/,A,S,M,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,o,r,l,d,b,a,n,k,.,o,r,g,/,e,n,/,t,o,p,i,c,/,e,x,t,r,a,c,t,i,v,e,i,n,d,u,s,t,r,i,e,s,/,b,r,i,e,f,/,a,r,t,i,s,a,n,a,l,-,a,n,d,-,s,m,a,l,l,-,s,c,a,l,e,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,t,i,m,e,s,l,i,v,e,.,c,o,.,z,a,/,n,e,w,s,/,s,o,u,t,h,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,/,2,0,2,1,-,0,6,-,1,5,-,t,w,e,n,t,y,-,b,o,d,i,e,s,-,o,f,-,a,l,l,e,g,e,d,-,z,a,m,a,-,z,a,m,a,s,-,f,o,u,n,d,-,o,u,t,s,i,d,e,-,k,l,e,r,k,s,d,o,r,p,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,a,m,n,e,s,t,y,u,s,a,.,o,r,g,/,r,e,p,o,r,t,s,/,t,h,i,s,-,i,s,-,w,h,a,t,-,w,e,-,d,i,e,-,f,o,r,-,h,u,m,a,n,-,r,i,g,h,t,s,-,a,b,u,s,e,s,-,i,n,-,t,h,e,-,d,e,m,o,c,r,a,t,i,c,-,r,e,p,u,b,l,i,c,-,o,f,-,t,h,e,-,c,o,n,g,o,-,p,o,w,e,r,-,t,h,e,-,g,l,o,b,a,l,-,t,r,a,d,e,-,i,n,-,c,o,b,a,l,t,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,a,m,n,e,s,t,y,u,s,a,.,o,r,g,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,p,u,b,l,i,c,a,t,i,o,n,s,/,d,i,r,t,y,_,m,e,t,a,l,s,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,o,x,f,a,m,.,o,r,g,/,e,n,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,c,m,s,/,a,s,s,e,t,s,/,u,p,l,o,a,d,s,/,a,r,c,h,i,v,e,/,f,i,l,e,s,/,p,u,b,l,i,c,a,t,i,o,n,s,/,D,i,r,t,y,M,e,t,a,l,s,_,W,o,r,k,e,r,s,.,p,d,f,#,p,a,g,e,=,2" +16,,,,Incorrect,Fatima Abubakar,,,africacheck,https://africacheck.org/about/authors/fatima-abubakar,https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/fbchecks/lemon-zobo-baya-maganin-zazzabi-aje-asibiti,,2021-07-27,africacheck,,"Wani rubutu da aka buga a Facebook yayi iƙirarin cewa lemon zoɓo “na maganin zazzaɓi.”“ Yadda ake lemon zoɓo na magani,” rubutun ya fara.

Focus on important and productive issues in the country. Every person has a right and freedom to express themselves.”The screenshot has been shared in two public Facebook groups, one with more than 280,000 members, the other with some 67,000 members. False claims of copyright infringement have been used in an attempt to silence @Kigogo2014, who has more than 577,000 followers and has been described in Tanzania as “our president of the Twitter republic”.The activist’s identity is unknown, a “closely guarded secret”, the BBC says. He or she told the BBC: “I'm a whistleblower and I expose corruption and human rights abuses in the country.”But did Suluhu, who succeeded Magufuli when he died in March, really tweet that @Kigogo2104 should be left alone?We checked.‘This information is not true’There is no reference to “Kigogo2014” on the Tanzanian presidency’s official Facebook page. An advanced Twitter search also returned no results. But the screenshot was posted on “Ikulu Mawasiliano”, the Facebook page of the president’s communication team – stamped “FAKE NEWS”.“TAARIFA HII SIYO YA KWELI.

In many cases old or out of context videos were passed off as recent events. Social media users tagged Africa Check in many of the posts, including one with a video of a long queue winding along a road. Most posts of the video, filmed from a helicopter, said it showed food queues in Ulundi, KwaZulu-Natal. We checked. Google Maps confirms video filmed in Ulundi Using Google Maps we were able to confirm that the video was filmed in Ulundi. At the beginning of the video there’s a building on the corner of a T-junction. This is the Ulundi police station on King Zwelithini street. A billboard in the video is also visible in Google street view. At 19 seconds the Ulundi municipal building appears in the video. In Google satellite view, the same building and green roofs can be seen. Video filmed on 16 July 2021The next step was to confirm if the video was filmed after the violence and looting in KwaZulu-Natal. Africa Check spoke to Ulundi’s municipality speaker, councillor Johanna Manana. She confirmed that the video was shot on 16 July 2021, by municipal manager Nkosenye Zulu.  Manana said the queue formed because the municipality had decided that “only two shops, Spar and Boxer, would be open on that day. This was to try and avoid looting and burning of shops.” She said that all shops in Ulundi had since been opened.",,"Yes, video shows massive queue for shops in Ulundi after #ShutdownSA protests",,,,,,"h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,a,s,h,i,n,g,t,o,n,p,o,s,t,.,c,o,m,/,w,o,r,l,d,/,2,0,2,1,/,0,7,/,1,3,/,s,o,u,t,h,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,-,z,u,m,a,-,p,r,o,t,e,s,t,s,-,v,i,o,l,e,n,c,e,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,b,c,.,c,o,m,/,n,e,w,s,/,w,o,r,l,d,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,-,5,7,6,5,0,5,1,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,a,f,r,i,c,a,c,h,e,c,k,.,o,r,g,/,f,a,c,t,-,c,h,e,c,k,s,/,r,e,p,o,r,t,s,/,b,e,w,a,r,e,-,y,o,u,-,s,h,a,r,e,-,t,h,e,s,e,-,s,h,u,t,d,o,w,n,s,a,-,v,i,d,e,o,s,-,a,r,e,-,m,i,s,l,e,a,d,i,n,g,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,S,a,m,m,y,J,o,e,D,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,1,6,0,5,6,8,3,0,6,6,1,3,8,2,1,4,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,S,a,m,m,y,J,o,e,D,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,1,6,0,5,6,8,3,0,6,6,1,3,8,2,1,4,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,p,s,/,p,l,a,c,e,/,U,l,u,n,d,i,/,d,a,t,a,=,!,4,m,2,!,3,m,1,!,1,s,0,x,1,e,f,0,6,3,6,c,8,6,b,2,2,0,c,3,:,0,x,c,b,1,d,d,6,6,c,5,0,c,6,9,7,4,d,?,s,a,=,X,&,v,e,d,=,2,a,h,U,K,E,w,i,W,i,K,n,D,5,f,j,x,A,h,X,3,Q,U,E,A,H,Z,W,1,A,x,s,Q,8,g,E,w,J,H,o,E,C,F,M,Q,A,Q,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,p,s,/,@,-,2,8,.,2,9,5,1,8,1,1,,,3,1,.,4,2,9,1,3,9,5,,,3,a,,,7,5,y,,,2,2,5,.,2,6,h,,,8,3,.,3,3,t,/,d,a,t,a,=,!,3,m,7,!,1,e,1,!,3,m,5,!,1,s,v,j,O,b,6,-,w,X,x,o,Z,C,s,x,q,h,w,V,g,5,X,Q,!,2,e,0,!,6,s,h,t,t,p,s,:,%,2,F,%,2,F,s,t,r,e,e,t,v,i,e,w,p,i,x,e,l,s,-,p,a,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,a,p,i,s,.,c,o,m,%,2,F,v,1,%,2,F,t,h,u,m,b,n,a,i,l,%,3,F,p,a,n,o,i,d,%,3,D,v,j,O,b,6,-,w,X,x,o,Z,C,s,x,q,h,w,V,g,5,X,Q,%,2,6,c,b,_,c,l,i,e,n,t,%,3,D,m,a,p,s,_,s,v,.,t,a,c,t,i,l,e,.,g,p,s,%,2,6,w,%,3,D,2,0,3,%,2,6,h,%,3,D,1,0,0,%,2,6,y,a,w,%,3,D,3,0,4,.,4,8,0,2,2,%,2,6,p,i,t,c,h,%,3,D,0,%,2,6,t,h,u,m,b,f,o,v,%,3,D,1,0,0,!,7,i,1,3,3,1,2,!,8,i,6,6,5,6,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,p,s,/,@,-,2,8,.,2,9,5,4,6,5,2,,,3,1,.,4,2,8,1,4,8,4,,,3,2,9,m,/,d,a,t,a,=,!,3,m,1,!,1,e,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,p,s,/,@,-,2,8,.,2,9,2,4,6,0,3,,,3,1,.,4,2,5,2,6,2,3,,,3,2,9,m,/,d,a,t,a,=,!,3,m,1,!,1,e,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,u,l,u,n,d,i,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,o,f,f,i,c,e,-,m,m" +23,,,,False,Taryn Willows,,,africacheck,https://africacheck.org/about/authors/taryn-willows,https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/fbchecks/no-covid-vaccines-cannot-make-you-magnetic-videos-claim,,2021-07-23,africacheck,,"Several videos doing the rounds on Facebook in South Africa appear to show different metal objects sticking to people who have recently received the Covid-19 vaccine.One video shows a phone stuck to a man’s arm, apparently after he received the second jab of the vaccine against Covid.Another shows a metal spoon sticking to a woman’s arm, apparently also  after she received the vaccine.A third video, with people speaking isiZulu, shows a woman putting a coin against a man’s arm and it also sticking to him. It’s unclear whether the man and woman in the third video are in fact South African, as the dialogue is out of sync with the people speaking, so may have been recorded over a video from elsewhere. The man and woman in the first and second videos sound Nigerian, though this could not be immediately confirmed.These videos have been widely shared since vaccines against Covid-19 first became available in South Africa, with claims the vaccines contain metals or microchips that make the site of injection magnetic. But could this startling claim be true? We checked.Debunked by South African government news agencyThe South African government news agency put out a statement about the reported phenomena on 11 June 2021, in response to the viral videos. It started: “The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health has welcomed input from top global health experts, who have dismissed purported links between the Covid-19 vaccine and magnetic fields.”Provincial government minister of health Nomagugu Simelane said that “several international medical scientists have rejected these claims as scientifically improbable and false”.“According to a report shared by World Health Organization (WHO) affiliated group, Africa Infodemic Response Alliance (Aira), Covid-19 vaccines do not contain magnetic microchips.”An earlier statement by the South African government on 9 June quoted Dr Stephen Schrantz, an infectious diseases specialist at the University of Chicago. He said: “No, getting a Covid-19 vaccine cannot cause your arm to be magnetised. This is a hoax, plain and simple”.“There is absolutely no way that a vaccine can lead to the reaction shown in these videos posted to Instagram and YouTube. It is better explained by two-sided tape on the metal disc being applied to the skin, rather than a magnetic reaction,” he said.The government also quoted Dr Thomas Hope, vaccine researcher and professor of cell and developmental biology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the US, who also debunked the claim.He said: “This is impossible. There’s nothing there [in the vaccine] that a magnet can interact with, it’s protein and lipids, salts, water and chemicals that maintain the pH. That’s basically it, so this is not possible.”Nothing magnetic in vaccine ingredients?In order for these metal objects to stick to where someone has received the vaccine jab, the ingredients would have to have a metal base.According to the WHO, none of the ingredients in Covid vaccines have a metal base.The WHO also says that many of the components used in vaccines “occur naturally in the body, in the environment, and in the foods we eat”. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also lists the ingredients for each of the Covid-19 vaccines approved around the world.The various ingredients in the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are listed by the FDA. None of these vaccines list any metal-based ingredients. The US Centres for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) notes that “Covid-19 vaccines do not contain ingredients that can produce an electromagnetic field at the site of your injection”. (Note: Only the Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer vaccines have been administered in South Africa at the time of writing.)Doses so small, even if were magnetic, wouldn’t attract objects shown in videosSome fact-checking organisations have also made the point that even if the vaccines did contain magnetic metals, one dose could not possibly cause a magnetic reaction. Medical professionals at the Meedan Health Desk have explained why: “The amount of metal that would need to be in a vaccine for it to attract a magnet is much more substantial than the amounts that could be present in a vaccine's small dose.”An expert the BBC spoke to gave some ways one can get metals to appear to stick to the skin. These include surface oils or tension and “trickery like band-aid residue or other sticky residue”. The claim that Covid-19 vaccines can cause a person to become magnetic at the vaccination site has been widely debunked by several other fact-checking organisations. It is simply not possible.",,"No, Covid vaccines cannot make you magnetic as videos claim","magnet, Coronavirus, Covid-19 vaccine",,,,,"h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,r,u,t,h,.,s,u,o,w,a,r,i,/,v,i,d,e,o,s,/,4,1,8,7,5,0,1,6,2,5,8,7,5,2,0,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,p,o,e,m,o,s,i,s,/,v,i,d,e,o,s,/,1,1,6,8,6,6,3,4,0,0,3,1,3,2,3,6,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,m,b,o,k,a,z,i,/,p,o,s,t,s,/,1,0,2,2,4,8,4,1,5,8,0,2,0,5,3,0,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,s,a,n,e,w,s,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,s,o,u,t,h,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,/,c,o,v,i,d,-,1,9,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,m,a,g,n,e,t,i,c,-,f,i,e,l,d,s,-,c,l,a,i,m,s,-,d,i,s,m,i,s,s,e,d,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,s,a,n,e,w,s,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,s,o,u,t,h,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,/,c,o,v,i,d,-,1,9,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,m,a,g,n,e,t,i,c,-,f,i,e,l,d,s,-,c,l,a,i,m,s,-,d,i,s,m,i,s,s,e,d,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,s,p,e,e,c,h,e,s,/,m,e,c,-,n,o,m,a,g,u,g,u,-,s,i,m,e,l,a,n,e,-,w,e,l,c,o,m,e,s,-,d,i,s,m,i,s,s,a,l,-,c,o,r,o,n,a,v,i,r,u,s,-,c,o,v,i,d,-,1,9,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,%,E,2,%,8,0,%,9,C,m,a,g,n,e,t,%,E,2,%,8,0,%,9,D,-,c,l,a,i,m,s,-,h,o,a,x,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,h,o,.,i,n,t,/,n,e,w,s,-,r,o,o,m,/,q,-,a,-,d,e,t,a,i,l,/,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,s,-,a,n,d,-,i,m,m,u,n,i,z,a,t,i,o,n,-,w,h,a,t,-,i,s,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,a,t,i,o,n,?,t,o,p,i,c,s,u,r,v,e,y,=,),&,g,c,l,i,d,=,C,j,w,K,C,A,j,w,r,u,S,H,B,h,A,t,E,i,w,A,_,q,C,p,p,k,x,j,3,N,W,U,i,M,N,Q,3,b,e,3,9,D,V,5,y,P,f,Z,1,9,F,0,O,0,Y,r,B,_,N,q,n,0,Z,l,4,w,7,r,s,n,2,q,R,5,9,3,9,R,o,C,v,b,E,Q,A,v,D,_,B,w,E,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,d,a,.,g,o,v,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,d,a,.,g,o,v,/,m,e,d,i,a,/,1,4,4,4,1,4,/,d,o,w,n,l,o,a,d,#,p,a,g,e,=,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,d,a,.,g,o,v,/,m,e,d,i,a,/,1,4,4,6,3,8,/,d,o,w,n,l,o,a,d,#,p,a,g,e,=,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,d,a,.,g,o,v,/,m,e,d,i,a,/,1,4,6,3,0,5,/,d,o,w,n,l,o,a,d,#,p,a,g,e,=,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,c,d,c,.,g,o,v,/,c,o,r,o,n,a,v,i,r,u,s,/,2,0,1,9,-,n,c,o,v,/,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,s,/,f,a,c,t,s,.,h,t,m,l,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,r,e,u,t,e,r,s,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,/,f,a,c,t,c,h,e,c,k,-,c,o,r,o,n,a,v,i,r,u,s,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,i,d,U,S,L,2,N,2,N,4,1,K,A,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,d,e,s,k,.,o,r,g,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,s,/,w,h,a,t,-,d,o,-,w,e,-,k,n,o,w,-,a,b,o,u,t,-,t,h,e,-,p,f,i,z,e,r,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,a,n,d,-,m,a,g,n,e,t,s,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,b,c,.,c,o,m,/,n,e,w,s,/,a,v,/,5,7,2,0,7,1,3,4,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,u,s,a,t,o,d,a,y,.,c,o,m,/,s,t,o,r,y,/,n,e,w,s,/,f,a,c,t,c,h,e,c,k,/,2,0,2,1,/,0,6,/,2,1,/,f,a,c,t,-,c,h,e,c,k,-,c,o,v,i,d,-,1,9,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,s,-,a,r,e,n,t,-,m,a,g,n,e,t,i,c,/,7,6,9,8,5,5,6,0,0,2,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,j,a,c,a,r,a,n,d,a,f,m,.,c,o,m,/,s,h,o,w,s,/,m,o,r,n,i,n,g,s,-,w,i,t,h,-,m,a,c,k,/,w,a,t,c,h,-,c,o,v,i,d,-,1,9,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,w,o,n,t,-,m,a,k,e,-,y,o,u,-,m,a,g,n,e,t,i,c,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,b,c,.,c,o,m,/,n,e,w,s,/,a,v,/,5,7,2,0,7,1,3,4" +24,,,,Incorrect,Naledi Mashishi,,,africacheck,https://africacheck.org/about/authors/naledi-mashishi,https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/reports/state-emergency-would-not-strip-ramaphosas-powers-and-make-dlamini-zuma,"If a state of emergency is declared in South Africa the president will be stripped of his powers, which will go to the military. Cooperative governance minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma will, in terms of the disaster management act, “take over”.",2021-07-23,africacheck,,"After calls for a state of emergency to deal with protests and looting in South Africa, a message appeared on social media claiming that an emergency declaration would give the president’s powers to the military and put cooperative governance minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma in charge.Constitutional law experts told Africa Check this was false. A state of emergency would give the president more power, and he would retain control of the military.The current state of disaster to control Covid-19 does give the cooperative governance minister limited new powers. But she would not “take over”, as the message claims, under a state of emergency.A message heavily shared on WhatsApp and Facebook warns about the consequences of a state of emergency being declared in South Africa.“If a state of emergency is declared the military takes over the rule of the land and the state president is stripped of his powers,” it reads. “In terms of the Disaster management Act Nkosazana dlamini Zuma will take over giving power to the Zuma’s.” Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma is South Africa’s minister of cooperative governance and traditional affairs (Cogta). She was married to former president Jacob Zuma from 1993 to 1998.South Africa saw a week of violent protests and looting after Zuma was taken into custody to serve a 15-month sentence for contempt of court. At least 337 people were killed and 1,500 arrested. The violence led to calls for the government to declare a state of emergency to restore order.Is the message an accurate reflection of what would happen if a state of emergency was declared in South Africa? We checked. Viral message is ‘absurd’Prof Pierre de Vos, a constitutional law expert in the department of public law at the University of Cape Town, said the viral message was “absurd”. He explained that under a state of emergency, governance still lies with parliament and the executive. But the presidency is given more powers –  they are not “stripped” away. The South African constitution and the State of Emergency Act allow the president to declare a state of emergency only when “the life of the nation is threatened by war, invasion, general insurrection, disorder, natural disaster, or other public emergency”. It can apply to the whole country or a specific area. “It gives the president Cyril Ramaphosa more power to make regulations,” de Vos said. But he added that there were limits to the presidency’s additional powers under a state of emergency: “The extra powers can only be used if they are necessary to deal with the emergency. You cannot make regulations about things that are not directly linked to trying to deal with the emergency.”Michael Evans is an attorney and partner at law firm Webber Wentzel with experience in local government, and administrative and constitutional issues. He told Africa Check that the military would not take over during a state of emergency. “The president is still the one who [delegates] responsibility and [confers] power and he can at any time withdraw it.”State of disaster during Covid pandemic  The message also claims that “in terms of the Disaster management Act Nkosazana dlamini Zuma will take over giving power to the Zuma’s”. South Africa is currently under a state of disaster, which was declared on 15 March 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Disaster Management Act, which falls under Cogta, dictates which regulations are enforced. At the moment these include mandatory mask-wearing in public, a curfew, restrictions on gatherings and an alcohol ban.But De Vos said the act was “completely separate” legislation that could not override the constitution. Evans told Africa Check that while the state of disaster has given Dlamini-Zuma powers that she would not ordinarily have as Cogta minister, she does not take the place of the president. He said there were key differences between a state of emergency and a state of disaster.A state of emergency has more parliamentary oversight than a state of disaster. Under the constitution, parliament must review a state of emergency after 21 days. “One of the problems with the national disaster has been that once a national disaster has been declared there is very little parliamentary oversight, which we’ve seen in the last year and a half,” Evans explained. Another major difference is that the public still have all of their basic constitutional rights under a state of disaster. But these rights can be limited under a state of emergency.  No state of emergency since apartheid ended South Africa last saw a state of emergency under the apartheid regime, in 1986. Evans, who was detained three times during apartheid-era states of emergency, told Africa Check the current state of emergency act was a “much better situation”.“Under the apartheid era we had no constitution so there was absolutely no protection. You could detain people, for example, indefinitely under the emergency in the apartheid era,” he said. “Now, if we have a state of emergency it will be very different because you will still retain a number of your constitutional rights and some of the other issues are quite heavily regulated.”The constitution includes a section setting out which rights can be limited under a state of emergency, and to what extent. Importantly, the right to life and human dignity are entirely protected from limitation. But De Vos warned that a state of emergency should not be taken lightly, as other rights could be limited. “They could, for example, allow people to be detained for 30 or 60 days without a trial.” The government could have the power to limit the media and communication, such as by shutting down the internet, if it is deemed necessary to deal with the emergency.Conclusion: No accuracy in claims about state of emergency in South AfricaA viral message on WhatsApp and Facebook warns that a declaration of a state of emergency in South Africa would strip powers from the president and give them to the military. It also claims that under the Disaster Management Act, Cogta minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma would become president.Two constitutional law experts rubbished these claims. Under a state of emergency the president is given more power and retains control of the military. The current state of disaster to deal with Covid-19 does give Dlamini-Zuma more power than before. But she would not become the president under a state of emergency.We therefore rate the message as incorrect.The experts warned, however, that a state of emergency should not be taken lightly as it could allow basic rights to be limited.",,State of emergency would NOT strip Ramaphosa’s powers and make Dlamini-Zuma president,"state of emergency, president,

It is great honor to rename Dik Dik Road after my political godfather. On top of that he is also a staunch supporter of BBI.” Atwoli is the general secretary of Kenya’s Central Organization of Trade Unions. A road in Nairobi was named after him in May and he publicly thanked Mwenda for the honour on Twitter. But the renaming was criticised by some Kenyans and new road signs have been vandalised at least twice.David Murathe is the vice-chairperson of the country’s ruling party, Jubilee. Mike Mbuvi Sonko is the former governor of Nairobi county who was removed from office in December 2020.The graphic also shows the logo of the trusted news outlet Nation Africa. It has been shared by other users and Facebook groups. But is the quote genuine?No evidence Mwenda said anything similarThe graphic looks badly photoshopped and the photo of Mwenda is blurry. The quote includes misspellings and missing words, which is unusual in a communication from a trustworthy news organisation. The font is also different from the one used in other similar graphics from Nation Africa. These are all signs that the graphic wasn’t issued by the news outlet and is fake.Africa Check looked at all similar graphics published since 18 June 2021 and did not find this quote from Mwenda, or anything similar.Using the Nairobi City County website, we found the county’s Twitter handle and from there, the county deputy boss’s account. She has not posted anything on Twitter like the comment in the digitally manipulated graphic.We could find no coverage in any news outlet of a quote like it. It appears to have been made up.",,No evidence Nairobi county deputy governor made statement about Kenya trade unionist helping her get top

shared on Facebook show a futuristic structure like something from a James Bond movie, set on a high v-shaped platform among trees. The caption to the photos claims it is the home of a former spy – former intelligence officer and long-time Russian president Vladimir Putin. It reads: “Putin House in Sochi, Russia designed by Roman Vlasov.”Putin has been president since 2012, and also served in the position from 1999 to 2008. Sochi is a city and resort area on the Black Sea in southwestern Russia. But is this really Putin’s house in Sochi? We investigated.‘This is my vision of the house of the president of my country, Vladimir Putin’ – architectA reverse image search for the three photos revealed the same three images shared on Instagram, posted by the architect Roman Vlasov.They are all captioned “PUTIN HOUSE or a story about what his villa might look like By @_vlasov_roman_”.These images are design concepts, illustrations for an idea created by the architect. They do not show a building that has been built, or what Putin’s house actually looks like.Vlasov told AFP Fact-Check this was just a concept.“In my Instagram account there is a description for this work,” he said. “And it says that this is my vision of the house of the president of my country, Vladimir Putin. I have not written anywhere that this house is his property.”Many Putin residencesThere was controversy in early 2021 about Putin building himself a “mega-palace” and spending more time away from his residence in Novo-Ogaryovo, just outside the Russian capital, than he admitted. His official residence is in the Kremlin, the fortified complex in the center of Moscow which is home to the Russian government. But news sources say Putin mostly lives at Novo-Ogaryovo.",,"No, photos don’t show actual house of Russia’s president, just design concept","Putin, households",,,,,"h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,u,g,a,n,d,a,z,u,k,u,k,a,/,p,o,s,t,s,/,2,6,7,8,3,9,3,9,1,2,4,5,9,2,3,9,?,_,_,x,t,s,_,_,[,0,],=,6,8,.,A,R,C,x,F,U,l,L,6,P,E,t,E,O,a,3,K,A,a,w,j,z,p,i,X,b,e,_,D,c,T,9,R,Y,E,D,p,T,U,T,j,d,o,1,1,l,m,V,Y,3,c,R,O,4,J,3,R,P,4,7,8,M,C,W,J,N,0,H,m,w,6,Y,a,b,-,g,Z,9,R,E,r,L,I,W,K,1,6,j,h,X,Q,o,U,1,u,3,X,b,l,P,g,U,E,4,P,E,1,4,i,G,1,Z,L,q,l,F,r,T,9,Z,L,0,w,3,7,G,z,m,n,p,8,H,r,G,M,R,8,y,g,n,k,0,X,S,V,G,f,F,y,0,F,w,s,d,0,k,k,p,l,s,G,0,X,e,p,w,f,i,E,H,a,7,J,Q,z,4,B,K,j,g,_,N,w,P,a,I,5,j,L,L,d,W,j,P,T,H,Q,n,k,e,S,d,f,f,X,A,3,-,2,D,q,2,E,Z,y,F,8,5,V,l,0,j,M,P,n,y,U,G,8,W,p,Q,E,m,N,c,n,n,y,u,-,W,L,Y,N,3,g,U,G,t,_,E,d,X,-,Z,7,G,U,8,S,2,P,s,z,A,c,6,S,k,j,z,9,N,d,H,x,o,P,A,r,O,L,m,a,A,t,I,Z,H,A,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,u,g,a,n,d,a,z,u,k,u,k,a,/,p,o,s,t,s,/,2,6,7,8,3,9,3,9,1,2,4,5,9,2,3,9,?,_,_,x,t,s,_,_,[,0,],=,6,8,.,A,R,C,x,F,U,l,L,6,P,E,t,E,O,a,3,K,A,a,w,j,z,p,i,X,b,e,_,D,c,T,9,R,Y,E,D,p,T,U,T,j,d,o,1,1,l,m,V,Y,3,c,R,O,4,J,3,R,P,4,7,8,M,C,W,J,N,0,H,m,w,6,Y,a,b,-,g,Z,9,R,E,r,L,I,W,K,1,6,j,h,X,Q,o,U,1,u,3,X,b,l,P,g,U,E,4,P,E,1,4,i,G,1,Z,L,q,l,F,r,T,9,Z,L,0,w,3,7,G,z,m,n,p,8,H,r,G,M,R,8,y,g,n,k,0,X,S,V,G,f,F,y,0,F,w,s,d,0,k,k,p,l,s,G,0,X,e,p,w,f,i,E,H,a,7,J,Q,z,4,B,K,j,g,_,N,w,P,a,I,5,j,L,L,d,W,j,P,T,H,Q,n,k,e,S,d,f,f,X,A,3,-,2,D,q,2,E,Z,y,F,8,5,V,l,0,j,M,P,n,y,U,G,8,W,p,Q,E,m,N,c,n,n,y,u,-,W,L,Y,N,3,g,U,G,t,_,E,d,X,-,Z,7,G,U,8,S,2,P,s,z,A,c,6,S,k,j,z,9,N,d,H,x,o,P,A,r,O,L,m,a,A,t,I,Z,H,A,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,r,i,t,a,n,n,i,c,a,.,c,o,m,/,b,i,o,g,r,a,p,h,y,/,V,l,a,d,i,m,i,r,-,P,u,t,i,n,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,r,i,t,a,n,n,i,c,a,.,c,o,m,/,p,l,a,c,e,/,S,o,c,h,i,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,n,s,t,a,g,r,a,m,.,c,o,m,/,p,/,C,K,d,6,9,C,2,h,a,i,p,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,n,s,t,a,g,r,a,m,.,c,o,m,/,p,/,C,K,d,6,2,C,0,h,3,2,C,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,n,s,t,a,g,r,a,m,.,c,o,m,/,p,/,C,K,d,6,q,K,k,h,l,J,_,/,,,h,t,t,p,:,/,/,a,r,c,h,v,i,z,u,a,l,.,c,o,m,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,f,a,c,t,c,h,e,c,k,.,a,f,p,.,c,o,m,/,p,i,c,t,u,r,e,-,s,h,o,w,s,-,d,e,s,i,g,n,-,c,o,n,c,e,p,t,-,h,o,u,s,e,-,c,r,e,a,t,e,d,-,r,u,s,s,i,a,-,b,a,s,e,d,-,a,r,c,h,i,t,e,c,t,?,f,b,c,l,i,d,=,I,w,A,R,1,m,z,H,U,2,h,p,d,6,K,U,O,B,w,X,i,E,v,1,P,D,M,1,x,t,h,1,q,m,9,d,b,N,N,A,G,f,v,W,K,Z,i,b,c,-,N,t,C,Q,S,B,y,Z,X,Q,U,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,n,e,w,s,w,e,e,k,.,c,o,m,/,p,u,t,i,n,-,d,e,n,i,e,s,-,n,a,v,a,l,n,y,-,b,l,a,c,k,-,s,e,a,-,p,a,l,a,c,e,-,e,x,p,o,s,e,-,1,5,6,4,2,2,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,n,y,t,i,m,e,s,.,c,o,m,/,2,0,2,0,/,1,2,/,1,3,/,w,o,r,l,d,/,e,u,r,o,p,e,/,p,u,t,i,n,-,r,u,s,s,i,a,-,o,f,f,i,c,e,-,s,o,c,h,i,.,h,t,m,l,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,r,f,e,r,l,.,o,r,g,/,a,/,2,4,6,9,0,5,4,3,.,h,t,m,l,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,r,e,u,t,e,r,s,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,/,u,s,-,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,c,o,r,o,n,a,v,i,r,u,s,-,r,u,s,s,i,a,-,p,u,t,i,n,-,i,d,U,S,K,B,N,2,3,N,3,B,4,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,r,i,t,a,n,n,i,c,a,.,c,o,m,/,t,e,c,h,n,o,l,o,g,y,/,k,r,e,m,l,i,n,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,r,i,t,a,n,n,i,c,a,.,c,o,m,/,v,i,d,e,o,/,1,7,9,9,0,7,/,O,v,e,r,v,i,e,w,-,K,r,e,m,l,i,n,-,M,o,s,c,o,w,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,r,i,t,a,n,n,i,c,a,.,c,o,m,/,p,l,a,c,e,/,M,o,s,c,o,w,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,l,o,b,a,l,t,i,m,e,s,.,c,n,/,c,o,n,t,e,n,t,/,1,2,1,0,1,2,1,.,s,h,t,m,l,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,f,o,r,e,i,g,n,p,o,l,i,c,y,.,c,o,m,/,2,0,1,9,/,0,8,/,0,6,/,t,h,e,r,e,s,-,m,o,r,e,-,t,o,-,r,u,s,s,i,a,-,t,h,a,n,-,p,u,t,i,n,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,t,h,e,m,o,s,c,o,w,t,i,m,e,s,.,c,o,m,/,2,0,2,0,/,0,4,/,0,1,/,p,u,t,i,n,-,w,o,r,k,i,n,g,-,r,e,m,o,t,e,l,y,-,a,f,t,e,r,-,m,e,e,t,i,n,g,-,i,n,f,e,c,t,e,d,-,d,o,c,t,o,r,-,k,r,e,m,l,i,n,-,s,a,y,s,-,a,6,9,8,2,6" diff --git a/output_sample_africacheck.csv b/output_sample_africacheck.csv new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1955535 --- /dev/null +++ b/output_sample_africacheck.csv @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +,rating_ratingValue,rating_worstRating,rating_bestRating,rating_alternateName,creativeWork_author_name,creativeWork_datePublished,creativeWork_author_sameAs,claimReview_author_name,claimReview_author_url,claimReview_url,claimReview_claimReviewed,claimReview_datePublished,claimReview_source,claimReview_author,extra_body,extra_refered_links,extra_title,extra_tags,extra_entities_claimReview_claimReviewed,extra_entities_body,extra_entities_keywords,extra_entities_author,related_links +0,,,,False,Naledi Mashishi,,,africacheck,https://africacheck.org/about/authors/naledi-mashishi,https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/fbchecks/no-asymptomatic-covid-patients-can-transmit-virus-and-masks-work,,2021-07-28,africacheck,,"A Facebook video posted on 5 July 2021 claims that studies show asymptomatic Covid-19 patients – people who don’t get sick – can’t transmit the new coronavirus. It also says the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published a review of studies and found wearing a mask doesn’t stop the spread of Covid.In the video, a woman appears to be standing at a podium, talking to an audience off camera. She says: “Nearly 500 people were recently exposed to a Covid positive asymptomatic carrier. Zero got sick. Asymptomatic carriers of Covid do not spread disease.”She goes on to claim: “The CDC a couple weeks ago did a study where they looked at every single other study in the entire world on face mask wearing and this is what they found. The CDC found, quote, ‘no reduction in viral transmission with the use of face masks’.”The words “the information is there dont say u wernt warned” are printed on the video. It’s been shared more than 1,200 times so far, including in South Africa. Since Covid-19 was declared a pandemic in early 2020, the World Health Organization has warned that Covid patients who don’t show any symptoms of the disease can still spread it to others. It also says masks are a “key measure to suppress transmission and save lives”.Do studies prove that asymptomatic Covid-19 patients can’t spread the disease? And has a CDC analysis found that masks don’t reduce transmission?Video of US attorney Leigh DundasThe video does not identify the woman, where she is, or when the video was taken. It’s poor quality, taken from an original that doesn’t appear to be online anymore.But we did find a short video on Vimeo of a woman named Leigh Dundas, speaking on 13 April. Based on her voice, hairstyle, clothing and the background, it’s likely that the video on Facebook shows this woman, at the same event.In the Vimeo video she identifies herself as a human rights attorney. The video is captioned “Leigh Dundas, Board of Supervisors, April 13 2021”. Dundas, a US attorney, publicly supports that country’s anti-vaccination movement. Voice of OC reports that, in May, she helped organise residents in California’s Orange county to go to local Board of Education meetings to petition against mandatory vaccinations and “vaccine passports”.As Africa Check has found, there is no such thing as mandatory or “universal” vaccination in the US. And vaccine passports don’t exist there.Asymptomatic patients can transmit the virusIn the Facebook video, Dundas refers to a May 2020 study in Wuhan, China. It’s titled A study on infectivity of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers. The Covid-19 pandemic is thought to have started in Wuhan.The researchers studied 455 people who had been in contact with asymptomatic Covid-positive patients. None of the 455 tested positive for Covid-19. But the study didn’t find that people with asymptomatic Covid-19 can’t transmit the virus. Instead, it concluded that “the infectivity of some asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers might be weak”. SARS-CoV-2 is the formal name of the new coronavirus that causes Covid-19.Other studies of asymptomatic carriers have found that they can transmit the virus.A January 2021 study looked at 2,250 people in a “confined” community of university staff in the Canadian province of Quebec. Confinement, the study says, is “used to reflect social restrictions instructed by Quebec's government”.It found that 1.82% of the staff were asymptomatic carriers. None had contact with any known Covid patients. The researchers concluded: “Our results raise concerns about the possibility of viral spread through asymptomatic transmission.” But they added that the rate of asymptomatic transmission was unknown.In February 2021, a study based on daily mass screenings of some 20,000 residents of Luxembourg, a small country in Europe, was published. It found that, on average, asymptomatic patients infected the same number of people as patients with Covid-19 symptoms. The researchers concluded: “Asymptomatic carriers represent a significant risk for transmission.”CDC: Masks reduce Covid spreadAnd what about Dundas’s claim that a CDC analysis had found that masks didn’t reduce the amount of coronavirus transmitted between people?This is not what the CDC website says. A science brief on the site, updated on 7 May 2021, quotes several studies that found face masks reduced the risk of Covid-19 infection by as much as 79%, and had led to declines in daily new cases.The CDC concludes: “Experimental and epidemiological data support community masking to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2.” The CDC also says that making people wear masks can help prevent possible lockdowns in the future. The benefits increase when people are also required to use other measures against Covid: social distancing, hand washing and good ventilation. Conclusion: Video’s claims are falseIn a video posted on Facebook, US anti-vaccination advocate and lawyer Leigh Dundas claims that asymptomatic Covid-19 patients can’t transmit the virus. She also says a study by the US Centers for Disease Control found that masks don’t reduce the spread of the disease.But the CDC study doesn’t conclude that asymptomatic patients can’t transmit the virus.

and France... Yep its happening, time to unlesh the new TRUTH variant,” reads the caption of two photos of what seem to be mass protests, posted on Facebook in July 2021 and shared in South Africa.The first photo shows a huge crowd of people on an avenue in Paris, France’s capital city. The city’s famous Arc de Triomphe can be seen in the background. Many in the crowd are wearing yellow reflective vests.The second photo is of another crowd, flanked by police, in a city square. The flag of Greece can be seen waving in the crowd.The photos were also posted on an Australia-based Facebook page, with a similar caption: “Greece & France! Thousands rally against COVID-19 vaccinations and government restrictions.”But do the photos really show people “unleashing the TRUTH variant” in protests against Covid-19 measures in Greece and France?Protest against vaccinations in Greece, against fuel tax in FranceA Google reverse image search of the second photo reveals that it does indeed show a rally against Covid-19 vaccinations, in the Greek capital of Athens on 14 July.The photo appears in an article on M3 News, an international online news magazine.“More than 5,000 anti-vaccine protesters, some of them waving Greek flags and wooden crosses, rallied in Athens on Wednesday to oppose Greece’s coronavirus vaccinations program,” the article reads.It adds: “Protests are fairly common in Greece and there have been several in recent months on issues ranging from new labour law to the most recent Israeli military campaign on Gaza.”But a TinEye reverse image search of the first photo, filtered for the oldest version, reveals that it has been online since at least 4 December 2018 – over a year before the coronavirus was first identified in late December 2019.The photo can be found on the French-language stock photo website Divergence Images. A machine translation of its caption reads: “Demonstration of the Yellow Vests on the Champs-Elysees, Paris on November 24, 2018.” It was taken by Olivier Coret.According to the US National Public Radio website, the 2018 yellow vests protests in France were sparked by the announcement of a new environmental tax on fuel.“Nicknamed for the safety vests worn by protesters, known as gilets jaunes, the yellow vest movement has sparked a political crisis for the French government,” the NPR says.“The protests started in the French provinces but spread to Paris, where demonstrations turned into riots over the weekend and scenes of violent civil unrest played out along the city's famous Avenue des Champs Élysées.”The second photo does show a protest against Covid-19 vaccinations, in Greece,

shared on Facebook in Nigeria claims that garlic can be used to lower high blood pressure.It also credits the World Health Organization (WHO) with saying garlic helps to reduce blood pressure in patients with moderate hypertension.“Garlic works in a way to increase the size of the arteries, which makes it easier for blood to pass. In addition, due to its diuretic properties, it reduces the volume of water in the body and therefore blood pressure,” reads part of the post.The post does include an unusual warning: “Be careful, even regular consumption of garlic does not exempt from appropriate treatment, especially in people with severe hypertension.” But is there any scientific evidence that the bulbous flowering plant can be used to manage high blood pressure? We checked.High blood pressure leads to 9.4 mn deaths annuallyAccording to the WHO, high blood pressure, also called hypertension, is when the force exerted by blood pushing against the walls of the arteries is higher than what is considered normal.“Hypertension is diagnosed if, when it is measured on two different days, the systolic blood pressure readings on both days are greater than 140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure readings on both days are greater than 90 mmHg,” says a WHO fact sheet on hypertension.Blood pressure is measured in units of millimeters of mercury, or mmHg. It is recorded as two numbers, the systolic or upper value first, followed by the diastolic or lower value. About 1.13 billion people around the world have high blood pressure, with the majority living in low- and middle-income countries. This leads to about 9.4 million deaths annually, says the WHO.‘Not approved by health authorities’ – expertSome studies have documented the potential of garlic in lowering high blood pressure in a similar way to standard medication. A review of trials involving garlic concludes that the vitamin B status of an individual is “an important factor for the responsiveness of high blood pressure to garlic”.But Basden Onwubere, a professor of medicine at the University of Nigeria in southeastern Nigeria, was sceptical. He told Africa Check: “Such prescriptions cannot be made by doctors.” “There are studies that have been published about the use of garlic in managing some health conditions but I am not aware of any traditional medicine that has been approved officially by Nafdac for use in managing high blood pressure,” he said.Nafdac is Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, responsible for regulating and controlling drugs, among other substances.Onwubere said: “Until that [approval] becomes available, what we are using now is the orthodox way of managing hypertension. This is medication and advice on managing the patient’s diet.”Africa Check has also checked claims on Facebook that ginger or ginger tea can prevent heart attack and stroke, and that mixing lemon, ginger and garlic cures high blood pressure. Like this claim, we found no conclusive evidence to support these.

But officials have not disclosed where and how.According to Nigeria's justice minister, Abubakar Malami, Kanu was brought back to Nigeria to face trial, after jumping bail in 2019.‘11-count charge’Kanu was previously arrested on 14 October 2015 on 11 charges, including terrorism, treasonable felony and managing an unlawful society. He was granted bail in 2017.He is also accused of inciting violence against the Nigerian state and institutions through TV, radio and online broadcasts, and of instigating violence, particularly in southeastern Nigeria.Kanu appeared before a federal high court in Abuja on 29 June 2021, two days after his arrest.

Sunday Adeyemo (AKA) Igboho and his wife German citizen has been released and allows to board plane on their way to Germany #BeninRepublicNoBeKenya.”The post has been shared several times and some commenters were happy.One Facebook user said: “Just can't express my joy for the great news!!!”Another said: “Good to hear this, shame to the haters.”However, others said the claim was not true.Were Sunday and Ropo Adeyemo jailed and have they been released from custody in Benin?Igboho still held but wife releasedThe Adeyemos fled Nigeria for the neighbouring Republic of Benin in early July after their Ibadan home was raided by the the Department of State Services.Ammunition and weapons were found on the premises during the raid.The Nigerian government then issued a warrant for Sunday Adeyemo’s arrest.On 19 July, the couple were arrested in the port city of Cotonou by Beninoise authorities while trying to travel to Germany.

This is not all the mining deaths in the world.There is a lack of reliable global statistics on mining fatalities. Deaths from mining diseases, and the deaths of contractors and small-scale miners, tend to be under-reported.“About 50% of global mining deaths occur in South Africa. Yet no single mining executive has been held accountable,” reads a tweet with more than 850 likes, which has been shared over 500 times on Twitter. The claim has also been posted on Facebook and other social media.When another user asked for “receipts” supporting the claim, the person who posted it said the data came from the International Council on Mining and Metals. Is the claim backed by data? We checked. Only 28 members included in rankingThe source of this claim is a 2020 report published by the International Council on Mining and Minerals (ICMM). The mining association collates the number of workplace accidents and fatalities recorded by its members.But the ICMM told Africa Check that its 28 member companies represent only about a third of the global mining industry. Not all mining companies are members and not all countries are represented. According to the report, South Africa recorded 22 out of 44 fatalities in 2020. This is 50% of deaths reported by its members – not 50% of global deaths. South Africa also accounted for more total working hours than any other individual country: 17.7% of all recorded hours in 2020.Government records more mining deathsSouth Africa has regularly fared worst in the ICMM’s safety reports. It has contributed the most deaths every year since 2015, the first year the council recorded location data. The one exception was 2019, when the Brumadinho dam disaster in Brazil claimed more than 250 lives.But the ICMM’s records likely don’t even represent all mining deaths in South Africa. The last year the country’s department of mineral resources and energy released a tally of mining fatalities was 2018. In that year, the department recorded 81 fatalities, while South African ICMM members recorded just 14.Data on global mining deaths is limited According to the Minerals Council South Africa (MCSA), another mining industry employers’ organisation, the ICMM’s 28 members “exclude huge numbers of mining businesses in many parts of the world, including some major mining jurisdictions, most notably China”.But determining the total number of mining fatalities around the world is not easy.“There is no one record of all industry fatalities,” the ICMM told Africa Check. “Individual companies will release their fatality numbers in their own sustainability and annual reports.”In 2019 the Wall Street Journal reported that many of the world’s mining fatalities may not even be counted. Its analysis of mining companies’ safety reports found that many did not record the deaths of contractors, workers transporting extracted minerals or deaths at joint mining ventures, which are managed by more than one company.The journal even found that more than half of the people who died in the 2019 Brumadinho dam disaster may not have been included in the official mining death toll. Deaths from mining diseases are even more likely to go unrecorded.Artisanal mining deaths may not be recordedAnother category of fatalities which may go overlooked is artisanal mining. In 2013, the World Bank estimated that there were “approximately 100 million artisanal miners globally”. This form of small-scale mining is often, but not always, conducted illegally. Deaths in this sector are more likely to go unrecorded. In June 2021 the bodies of 20 people believed to be illegal miners or “zama-zamas” were found near abandoned mine shafts in Johannesburg. In a 2016 report, human rights organisation Amnesty International said that in artisanal cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, “many accidents go unrecorded and bodies are left buried in the rubble”.And a 2004 publication by philanthropy organisation Oxfam, in collaboration with environmental non-profit Earthworks, found that “health and safety data for ASM [artisanal and small-scale mining] are sketchy, but the sector appears to experience a significantly higher accident rate than the industry as a whole”.Conclusion: South Africa accounts for 50% of mining deaths recorded by 28 companies in a single report – not 50% of global deaths. A widely shared social media post claims that South Africa accounted for “about 50% of global mining deaths”. But the report cited as evidence gives mining fatalities for 28 companies in 2020. That year South Africa accounted for half of the 44 recorded fatalities. The report likely doesn't even represent all mining deaths in South Africa. It also excludes major miners and mining countries such as China. We therefore rate the claim misleading. But data on global mining fatalities is fraught with problems. Beyond the lack of reliable global statistics, deaths from disease, and the deaths of contractors and small-scale miners, are regularly under-reported across the world. More and better data is needed to accurately determine how many deaths are due to mining, both globally and in South Africa.",,"No, South Africa does not account for ‘50% of global mining deaths’","mining, global, deaths",,,,,"h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,a,f,r,i,c,a,c,h,e,c,k,.,o,r,g,/,s,i,t,e,s,/,d,e,f,a,u,l,t,/,f,i,l,e,s,/,m,e,d,i,a,/,i,m,a,g,e,s,/,2,0,2,1,-,0,7,/,S,c,r,e,e,n,s,h,o,t,_,2,0,2,1,-,0,6,-,2,1,_,a,t,_,1,6,-,0,0,-,4,7,_,T,_,o,n,_,T,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,p,n,g,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,o,k,h,a,t,h,i,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,1,3,4,7,7,3,2,3,2,4,1,8,8,1,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,M,d,u,Z,o,n,d,o,/,p,o,s,t,s,/,4,0,8,5,2,0,6,8,9,1,5,3,4,3,9,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,n,h,l,a,m,z,a,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,4,9,1,7,8,7,5,4,4,4,3,2,6,4,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,o,k,h,a,t,h,i,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,1,3,4,7,7,3,2,3,2,4,1,8,8,1,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,2,0,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,a,b,o,u,t,-,u,s,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,a,b,o,u,t,-,u,s,/,o,u,r,-,m,e,m,b,e,r,s,/,m,e,m,b,e,r,-,c,o,m,p,a,n,i,e,s,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,9,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,8,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,5,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,s,c,i,e,n,c,e,d,i,r,e,c,t,.,c,o,m,/,s,c,i,e,n,c,e,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,/,p,i,i,/,S,0,3,0,3,2,4,3,4,2,0,3,0,0,1,9,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,d,m,r,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,d,m,r,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,P,o,r,t,a,l,s,/,0,/,R,e,s,o,u,r,c,e,s,/,A,n,n,u,a,l,%,2,0,R,e,p,o,r,t,s,/,D,M,R,_,a,n,n,u,a,l,_,r,e,p,o,r,t,_,2,0,1,9,_,l,o,w,%,2,0,r,e,s,.,p,d,f,?,v,e,r,=,2,0,1,9,-,1,1,-,0,5,-,1,6,1,4,1,2,-,8,8,3,#,p,a,g,e,=,1,1,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,8,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,m,i,n,e,r,a,l,s,c,o,u,n,c,i,l,.,o,r,g,.,z,a,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,s,/,t,h,e,-,h,i,d,d,e,n,-,d,e,a,t,h,s,-,o,f,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,-,1,1,5,7,7,8,2,5,5,5,5,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,s,/,t,h,e,-,h,i,d,d,e,n,-,d,e,a,t,h,s,-,o,f,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,-,1,1,5,7,7,8,2,5,5,5,5,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,i,t,i,.,o,r,g,/,A,S,M,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,o,r,l,d,b,a,n,k,.,o,r,g,/,e,n,/,t,o,p,i,c,/,e,x,t,r,a,c,t,i,v,e,i,n,d,u,s,t,r,i,e,s,/,b,r,i,e,f,/,a,r,t,i,s,a,n,a,l,-,a,n,d,-,s,m,a,l,l,-,s,c,a,l,e,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,t,i,m,e,s,l,i,v,e,.,c,o,.,z,a,/,n,e,w,s,/,s,o,u,t,h,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,/,2,0,2,1,-,0,6,-,1,5,-,t,w,e,n,t,y,-,b,o,d,i,e,s,-,o,f,-,a,l,l,e,g,e,d,-,z,a,m,a,-,z,a,m,a,s,-,f,o,u,n,d,-,o,u,t,s,i,d,e,-,k,l,e,r,k,s,d,o,r,p,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,a,m,n,e,s,t,y,u,s,a,.,o,r,g,/,r,e,p,o,r,t,s,/,t,h,i,s,-,i,s,-,w,h,a,t,-,w,e,-,d,i,e,-,f,o,r,-,h,u,m,a,n,-,r,i,g,h,t,s,-,a,b,u,s,e,s,-,i,n,-,t,h,e,-,d,e,m,o,c,r,a,t,i,c,-,r,e,p,u,b,l,i,c,-,o,f,-,t,h,e,-,c,o,n,g,o,-,p,o,w,e,r,-,t,h,e,-,g,l,o,b,a,l,-,t,r,a,d,e,-,i,n,-,c,o,b,a,l,t,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,a,m,n,e,s,t,y,u,s,a,.,o,r,g,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,p,u,b,l,i,c,a,t,i,o,n,s,/,d,i,r,t,y,_,m,e,t,a,l,s,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,o,x,f,a,m,.,o,r,g,/,e,n,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,c,m,s,/,a,s,s,e,t,s,/,u,p,l,o,a,d,s,/,a,r,c,h,i,v,e,/,f,i,l,e,s,/,p,u,b,l,i,c,a,t,i,o,n,s,/,D,i,r,t,y,M,e,t,a,l,s,_,W,o,r,k,e,r,s,.,p,d,f,#,p,a,g,e,=,2" +7,,,,Incorrect,Fatima Abubakar,,,africacheck,https://africacheck.org/about/authors/fatima-abubakar,https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/fbchecks/lemon-zobo-baya-maganin-zazzabi-aje-asibiti,,2021-07-27,africacheck,,"Wani rubutu da aka buga a Facebook yayi iƙirarin cewa lemon zoɓo “na maganin zazzaɓi.”“ Yadda ake lemon zoɓo na magani,” rubutun ya fara.

It also says the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published a review of studies and found wearing a mask doesn’t stop the spread of Covid.In the video, a woman appears to be standing at a podium, talking to an audience off camera. She says: “Nearly 500 people were recently exposed to a Covid positive asymptomatic carrier. Zero got sick. Asymptomatic carriers of Covid do not spread disease.”She goes on to claim: “The CDC a couple weeks ago did a study where they looked at every single other study in the entire world on face mask wearing and this is what they found. The CDC found, quote, ‘no reduction in viral transmission with the use of face masks’.”The words “the information is there dont say u wernt warned” are printed on the video. It’s been shared more than 1,200 times so far, including in South Africa. Since Covid-19 was declared a pandemic in early 2020, the World Health Organization has warned that Covid patients who don’t show any symptoms of the disease can still spread it to others. It also says masks are a “key measure to suppress transmission and save lives”.Do studies prove that asymptomatic Covid-19 patients can’t spread the disease? And has a CDC analysis found that masks don’t reduce transmission?Video of US attorney Leigh DundasThe video does not identify the woman, where she is, or when the video was taken. It’s poor quality, taken from an original that doesn’t appear to be online anymore.But we did find a short video on Vimeo of a woman named Leigh Dundas, speaking on 13 April. Based on her voice, hairstyle, clothing and the background, it’s likely that the video on Facebook shows this woman, at the same event.In the Vimeo video she identifies herself as a human rights attorney. The video is captioned “Leigh Dundas, Board of Supervisors, April 13 2021”. Dundas, a US attorney, publicly supports that country’s anti-vaccination movement. Voice of OC reports that, in May, she helped organise residents in California’s Orange county to go to local Board of Education meetings to petition against mandatory vaccinations and “vaccine passports”.As Africa Check has found, there is no such thing as mandatory or “universal” vaccination in the US. And vaccine passports don’t exist there.Asymptomatic patients can transmit the virusIn the Facebook video, Dundas refers to a May 2020 study in Wuhan, China. It’s titled A study on infectivity of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers. The Covid-19 pandemic is thought to have started in Wuhan.The researchers studied 455 people who had been in contact with asymptomatic Covid-positive patients. None of the 455 tested positive for Covid-19. But the study didn’t find that people with asymptomatic Covid-19 can’t transmit the virus. Instead, it concluded that “the infectivity of some asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers might be weak”. SARS-CoV-2 is the formal name of the new coronavirus that causes Covid-19.Other studies of asymptomatic carriers have found that they can transmit the virus.A January 2021 study looked at 2,250 people in a “confined” community of university staff in the Canadian province of Quebec. Confinement, the study says, is “used to reflect social restrictions instructed by Quebec's government”.It found that 1.82% of the staff were asymptomatic carriers. None had contact with any known Covid patients. The researchers concluded: “Our results raise concerns about the possibility of viral spread through asymptomatic transmission.” But they added that the rate of asymptomatic transmission was unknown.In February 2021, a study based on daily mass screenings of some 20,000 residents of Luxembourg, a small country in Europe, was published. It found that, on average, asymptomatic patients infected the same number of people as patients with Covid-19 symptoms. The researchers concluded: “Asymptomatic carriers represent a significant risk for transmission.”CDC: Masks reduce Covid spreadAnd what about Dundas’s claim that a CDC analysis had found that masks didn’t reduce the amount of coronavirus transmitted between people?This is not what the CDC website says. A science brief on the site, updated on 7 May 2021, quotes several studies that found face masks reduced the risk of Covid-19 infection by as much as 79%, and had led to declines in daily new cases.The CDC concludes: “Experimental and epidemiological data support community masking to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2.” The CDC also says that making people wear masks can help prevent possible lockdowns in the future. The benefits increase when people are also required to use other measures against Covid: social distancing, hand washing and good ventilation. Conclusion: Video’s claims are falseIn a video posted on Facebook, US anti-vaccination advocate and lawyer Leigh Dundas claims that asymptomatic Covid-19 patients can’t transmit the virus. She also says a study by the US Centers for Disease Control found that masks don’t reduce the spread of the disease.But the CDC study doesn’t conclude that asymptomatic patients can’t transmit the virus.

and France... Yep its happening, time to unlesh the new TRUTH variant,” reads the caption of two photos of what seem to be mass protests, posted on Facebook in July 2021 and shared in South Africa.The first photo shows a huge crowd of people on an avenue in Paris, France’s capital city. The city’s famous Arc de Triomphe can be seen in the background. Many in the crowd are wearing yellow reflective vests.The second photo is of another crowd, flanked by police, in a city square. The flag of Greece can be seen waving in the crowd.The photos were also posted on an Australia-based Facebook page, with a similar caption: “Greece & France! Thousands rally against COVID-19 vaccinations and government restrictions.”But do the photos really show people “unleashing the TRUTH variant” in protests against Covid-19 measures in Greece and France?Protest against vaccinations in Greece, against fuel tax in FranceA Google reverse image search of the second photo reveals that it does indeed show a rally against Covid-19 vaccinations, in the Greek capital of Athens on 14 July.The photo appears in an article on M3 News, an international online news magazine.“More than 5,000 anti-vaccine protesters, some of them waving Greek flags and wooden crosses, rallied in Athens on Wednesday to oppose Greece’s coronavirus vaccinations program,” the article reads.It adds: “Protests are fairly common in Greece and there have been several in recent months on issues ranging from new labour law to the most recent Israeli military campaign on Gaza.”But a TinEye reverse image search of the first photo, filtered for the oldest version, reveals that it has been online since at least 4 December 2018 – over a year before the coronavirus was first identified in late December 2019.The photo can be found on the French-language stock photo website Divergence Images. A machine translation of its caption reads: “Demonstration of the Yellow Vests on the Champs-Elysees, Paris on November 24, 2018.” It was taken by Olivier Coret.According to the US National Public Radio website, the 2018 yellow vests protests in France were sparked by the announcement of a new environmental tax on fuel.“Nicknamed for the safety vests worn by protesters, known as gilets jaunes, the yellow vest movement has sparked a political crisis for the French government,” the NPR says.“The protests started in the French provinces but spread to Paris, where demonstrations turned into riots over the weekend and scenes of violent civil unrest played out along the city's famous Avenue des Champs Élysées.”The second photo does show a protest against Covid-19 vaccinations, in Greece,

shared on Facebook in Nigeria claims that garlic can be used to lower high blood pressure.It also credits the World Health Organization (WHO) with saying garlic helps to reduce blood pressure in patients with moderate hypertension.“Garlic works in a way to increase the size of the arteries, which makes it easier for blood to pass. In addition, due to its diuretic properties, it reduces the volume of water in the body and therefore blood pressure,” reads part of the post.The post does include an unusual warning: “Be careful, even regular consumption of garlic does not exempt from appropriate treatment, especially in people with severe hypertension.” But is there any scientific evidence that the bulbous flowering plant can be used to manage high blood pressure? We checked.High blood pressure leads to 9.4 mn deaths annuallyAccording to the WHO, high blood pressure, also called hypertension, is when the force exerted by blood pushing against the walls of the arteries is higher than what is considered normal.“Hypertension is diagnosed if, when it is measured on two different days, the systolic blood pressure readings on both days are greater than 140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure readings on both days are greater than 90 mmHg,” says a WHO fact sheet on hypertension.Blood pressure is measured in units of millimeters of mercury, or mmHg. It is recorded as two numbers, the systolic or upper value first, followed by the diastolic or lower value. About 1.13 billion people around the world have high blood pressure, with the majority living in low- and middle-income countries. This leads to about 9.4 million deaths annually, says the WHO.‘Not approved by health authorities’ – expertSome studies have documented the potential of garlic in lowering high blood pressure in a similar way to standard medication. A review of trials involving garlic concludes that the vitamin B status of an individual is “an important factor for the responsiveness of high blood pressure to garlic”.But Basden Onwubere, a professor of medicine at the University of Nigeria in southeastern Nigeria, was sceptical. He told Africa Check: “Such prescriptions cannot be made by doctors.” “There are studies that have been published about the use of garlic in managing some health conditions but I am not aware of any traditional medicine that has been approved officially by Nafdac for use in managing high blood pressure,” he said.Nafdac is Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, responsible for regulating and controlling drugs, among other substances.Onwubere said: “Until that [approval] becomes available, what we are using now is the orthodox way of managing hypertension. This is medication and advice on managing the patient’s diet.”Africa Check has also checked claims on Facebook that ginger or ginger tea can prevent heart attack and stroke, and that mixing lemon, ginger and garlic cures high blood pressure. Like this claim, we found no conclusive evidence to support these.

But officials have not disclosed where and how.According to Nigeria's justice minister, Abubakar Malami, Kanu was brought back to Nigeria to face trial, after jumping bail in 2019.‘11-count charge’Kanu was previously arrested on 14 October 2015 on 11 charges, including terrorism, treasonable felony and managing an unlawful society. He was granted bail in 2017.He is also accused of inciting violence against the Nigerian state and institutions through TV, radio and online broadcasts, and of instigating violence, particularly in southeastern Nigeria.Kanu appeared before a federal high court in Abuja on 29 June 2021, two days after his arrest.

Sunday Adeyemo (AKA) Igboho and his wife German citizen has been released and allows to board plane on their way to Germany #BeninRepublicNoBeKenya.”The post has been shared several times and some commenters were happy.One Facebook user said: “Just can't express my joy for the great news!!!”Another said: “Good to hear this, shame to the haters.”However, others said the claim was not true.Were Sunday and Ropo Adeyemo jailed and have they been released from custody in Benin?Igboho still held but wife releasedThe Adeyemos fled Nigeria for the neighbouring Republic of Benin in early July after their Ibadan home was raided by the the Department of State Services.Ammunition and weapons were found on the premises during the raid.The Nigerian government then issued a warrant for Sunday Adeyemo’s arrest.On 19 July, the couple were arrested in the port city of Cotonou by Beninoise authorities while trying to travel to Germany.

This is not all the mining deaths in the world.There is a lack of reliable global statistics on mining fatalities. Deaths from mining diseases, and the deaths of contractors and small-scale miners, tend to be under-reported.“About 50% of global mining deaths occur in South Africa. Yet no single mining executive has been held accountable,” reads a tweet with more than 850 likes, which has been shared over 500 times on Twitter. The claim has also been posted on Facebook and other social media.When another user asked for “receipts” supporting the claim, the person who posted it said the data came from the International Council on Mining and Metals. Is the claim backed by data? We checked. Only 28 members included in rankingThe source of this claim is a 2020 report published by the International Council on Mining and Minerals (ICMM). The mining association collates the number of workplace accidents and fatalities recorded by its members.But the ICMM told Africa Check that its 28 member companies represent only about a third of the global mining industry. Not all mining companies are members and not all countries are represented. According to the report, South Africa recorded 22 out of 44 fatalities in 2020. This is 50% of deaths reported by its members – not 50% of global deaths. South Africa also accounted for more total working hours than any other individual country: 17.7% of all recorded hours in 2020.Government records more mining deathsSouth Africa has regularly fared worst in the ICMM’s safety reports. It has contributed the most deaths every year since 2015, the first year the council recorded location data. The one exception was 2019, when the Brumadinho dam disaster in Brazil claimed more than 250 lives.But the ICMM’s records likely don’t even represent all mining deaths in South Africa. The last year the country’s department of mineral resources and energy released a tally of mining fatalities was 2018. In that year, the department recorded 81 fatalities, while South African ICMM members recorded just 14.Data on global mining deaths is limited According to the Minerals Council South Africa (MCSA), another mining industry employers’ organisation, the ICMM’s 28 members “exclude huge numbers of mining businesses in many parts of the world, including some major mining jurisdictions, most notably China”.But determining the total number of mining fatalities around the world is not easy.“There is no one record of all industry fatalities,” the ICMM told Africa Check. “Individual companies will release their fatality numbers in their own sustainability and annual reports.”In 2019 the Wall Street Journal reported that many of the world’s mining fatalities may not even be counted. Its analysis of mining companies’ safety reports found that many did not record the deaths of contractors, workers transporting extracted minerals or deaths at joint mining ventures, which are managed by more than one company.The journal even found that more than half of the people who died in the 2019 Brumadinho dam disaster may not have been included in the official mining death toll. Deaths from mining diseases are even more likely to go unrecorded.Artisanal mining deaths may not be recordedAnother category of fatalities which may go overlooked is artisanal mining. In 2013, the World Bank estimated that there were “approximately 100 million artisanal miners globally”. This form of small-scale mining is often, but not always, conducted illegally. Deaths in this sector are more likely to go unrecorded. In June 2021 the bodies of 20 people believed to be illegal miners or “zama-zamas” were found near abandoned mine shafts in Johannesburg. In a 2016 report, human rights organisation Amnesty International said that in artisanal cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, “many accidents go unrecorded and bodies are left buried in the rubble”.And a 2004 publication by philanthropy organisation Oxfam, in collaboration with environmental non-profit Earthworks, found that “health and safety data for ASM [artisanal and small-scale mining] are sketchy, but the sector appears to experience a significantly higher accident rate than the industry as a whole”.Conclusion: South Africa accounts for 50% of mining deaths recorded by 28 companies in a single report – not 50% of global deaths. A widely shared social media post claims that South Africa accounted for “about 50% of global mining deaths”. But the report cited as evidence gives mining fatalities for 28 companies in 2020. That year South Africa accounted for half of the 44 recorded fatalities. The report likely doesn't even represent all mining deaths in South Africa. It also excludes major miners and mining countries such as China. We therefore rate the claim misleading. But data on global mining fatalities is fraught with problems. Beyond the lack of reliable global statistics, deaths from disease, and the deaths of contractors and small-scale miners, are regularly under-reported across the world. More and better data is needed to accurately determine how many deaths are due to mining, both globally and in South Africa.",,"No, South Africa does not account for ‘50% of global mining deaths’","mining, global, deaths",,,,,"h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,a,f,r,i,c,a,c,h,e,c,k,.,o,r,g,/,s,i,t,e,s,/,d,e,f,a,u,l,t,/,f,i,l,e,s,/,m,e,d,i,a,/,i,m,a,g,e,s,/,2,0,2,1,-,0,7,/,S,c,r,e,e,n,s,h,o,t,_,2,0,2,1,-,0,6,-,2,1,_,a,t,_,1,6,-,0,0,-,4,7,_,T,_,o,n,_,T,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,p,n,g,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,o,k,h,a,t,h,i,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,1,3,4,7,7,3,2,3,2,4,1,8,8,1,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,M,d,u,Z,o,n,d,o,/,p,o,s,t,s,/,4,0,8,5,2,0,6,8,9,1,5,3,4,3,9,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,n,h,l,a,m,z,a,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,4,9,1,7,8,7,5,4,4,4,3,2,6,4,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,m,o,k,h,a,t,h,i,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,0,6,1,3,4,7,7,3,2,3,2,4,1,8,8,1,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,2,0,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,a,b,o,u,t,-,u,s,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,a,b,o,u,t,-,u,s,/,o,u,r,-,m,e,m,b,e,r,s,/,m,e,m,b,e,r,-,c,o,m,p,a,n,i,e,s,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,9,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,8,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,5,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,s,c,i,e,n,c,e,d,i,r,e,c,t,.,c,o,m,/,s,c,i,e,n,c,e,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,/,p,i,i,/,S,0,3,0,3,2,4,3,4,2,0,3,0,0,1,9,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,d,m,r,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,d,m,r,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,P,o,r,t,a,l,s,/,0,/,R,e,s,o,u,r,c,e,s,/,A,n,n,u,a,l,%,2,0,R,e,p,o,r,t,s,/,D,M,R,_,a,n,n,u,a,l,_,r,e,p,o,r,t,_,2,0,1,9,_,l,o,w,%,2,0,r,e,s,.,p,d,f,?,v,e,r,=,2,0,1,9,-,1,1,-,0,5,-,1,6,1,4,1,2,-,8,8,3,#,p,a,g,e,=,1,1,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,i,c,m,m,.,c,o,m,/,e,n,-,g,b,/,r,e,s,e,a,r,c,h,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,/,b,e,n,c,h,m,a,r,k,i,n,g,-,2,0,1,8,-,s,a,f,e,t,y,-,d,a,t,a,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,m,i,n,e,r,a,l,s,c,o,u,n,c,i,l,.,o,r,g,.,z,a,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,s,/,t,h,e,-,h,i,d,d,e,n,-,d,e,a,t,h,s,-,o,f,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,-,1,1,5,7,7,8,2,5,5,5,5,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,s,j,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,s,/,t,h,e,-,h,i,d,d,e,n,-,d,e,a,t,h,s,-,o,f,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,-,1,1,5,7,7,8,2,5,5,5,5,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,i,t,i,.,o,r,g,/,A,S,M,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,o,r,l,d,b,a,n,k,.,o,r,g,/,e,n,/,t,o,p,i,c,/,e,x,t,r,a,c,t,i,v,e,i,n,d,u,s,t,r,i,e,s,/,b,r,i,e,f,/,a,r,t,i,s,a,n,a,l,-,a,n,d,-,s,m,a,l,l,-,s,c,a,l,e,-,m,i,n,i,n,g,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,t,i,m,e,s,l,i,v,e,.,c,o,.,z,a,/,n,e,w,s,/,s,o,u,t,h,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,/,2,0,2,1,-,0,6,-,1,5,-,t,w,e,n,t,y,-,b,o,d,i,e,s,-,o,f,-,a,l,l,e,g,e,d,-,z,a,m,a,-,z,a,m,a,s,-,f,o,u,n,d,-,o,u,t,s,i,d,e,-,k,l,e,r,k,s,d,o,r,p,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,a,m,n,e,s,t,y,u,s,a,.,o,r,g,/,r,e,p,o,r,t,s,/,t,h,i,s,-,i,s,-,w,h,a,t,-,w,e,-,d,i,e,-,f,o,r,-,h,u,m,a,n,-,r,i,g,h,t,s,-,a,b,u,s,e,s,-,i,n,-,t,h,e,-,d,e,m,o,c,r,a,t,i,c,-,r,e,p,u,b,l,i,c,-,o,f,-,t,h,e,-,c,o,n,g,o,-,p,o,w,e,r,-,t,h,e,-,g,l,o,b,a,l,-,t,r,a,d,e,-,i,n,-,c,o,b,a,l,t,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,a,m,n,e,s,t,y,u,s,a,.,o,r,g,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,p,u,b,l,i,c,a,t,i,o,n,s,/,d,i,r,t,y,_,m,e,t,a,l,s,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,o,x,f,a,m,.,o,r,g,/,e,n,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,e,a,r,t,h,w,o,r,k,s,.,o,r,g,/,c,m,s,/,a,s,s,e,t,s,/,u,p,l,o,a,d,s,/,a,r,c,h,i,v,e,/,f,i,l,e,s,/,p,u,b,l,i,c,a,t,i,o,n,s,/,D,i,r,t,y,M,e,t,a,l,s,_,W,o,r,k,e,r,s,.,p,d,f,#,p,a,g,e,=,2" +16,,,,Incorrect,Fatima Abubakar,,,africacheck,https://africacheck.org/about/authors/fatima-abubakar,https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/fbchecks/lemon-zobo-baya-maganin-zazzabi-aje-asibiti,,2021-07-27,africacheck,,"Wani rubutu da aka buga a Facebook yayi iƙirarin cewa lemon zoɓo “na maganin zazzaɓi.”“ Yadda ake lemon zoɓo na magani,” rubutun ya fara.

Focus on important and productive issues in the country. Every person has a right and freedom to express themselves.”The screenshot has been shared in two public Facebook groups, one with more than 280,000 members, the other with some 67,000 members. False claims of copyright infringement have been used in an attempt to silence @Kigogo2014, who has more than 577,000 followers and has been described in Tanzania as “our president of the Twitter republic”.The activist’s identity is unknown, a “closely guarded secret”, the BBC says. He or she told the BBC: “I'm a whistleblower and I expose corruption and human rights abuses in the country.”But did Suluhu, who succeeded Magufuli when he died in March, really tweet that @Kigogo2104 should be left alone?We checked.‘This information is not true’There is no reference to “Kigogo2014” on the Tanzanian presidency’s official Facebook page. An advanced Twitter search also returned no results. But the screenshot was posted on “Ikulu Mawasiliano”, the Facebook page of the president’s communication team – stamped “FAKE NEWS”.“TAARIFA HII SIYO YA KWELI.

In many cases old or out of context videos were passed off as recent events. Social media users tagged Africa Check in many of the posts, including one with a video of a long queue winding along a road. Most posts of the video, filmed from a helicopter, said it showed food queues in Ulundi, KwaZulu-Natal. We checked. Google Maps confirms video filmed in Ulundi Using Google Maps we were able to confirm that the video was filmed in Ulundi. At the beginning of the video there’s a building on the corner of a T-junction. This is the Ulundi police station on King Zwelithini street. A billboard in the video is also visible in Google street view. At 19 seconds the Ulundi municipal building appears in the video. In Google satellite view, the same building and green roofs can be seen. Video filmed on 16 July 2021The next step was to confirm if the video was filmed after the violence and looting in KwaZulu-Natal. Africa Check spoke to Ulundi’s municipality speaker, councillor Johanna Manana. She confirmed that the video was shot on 16 July 2021, by municipal manager Nkosenye Zulu.  Manana said the queue formed because the municipality had decided that “only two shops, Spar and Boxer, would be open on that day. This was to try and avoid looting and burning of shops.” She said that all shops in Ulundi had since been opened.",,"Yes, video shows massive queue for shops in Ulundi after #ShutdownSA protests",,,,,,"h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,a,s,h,i,n,g,t,o,n,p,o,s,t,.,c,o,m,/,w,o,r,l,d,/,2,0,2,1,/,0,7,/,1,3,/,s,o,u,t,h,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,-,z,u,m,a,-,p,r,o,t,e,s,t,s,-,v,i,o,l,e,n,c,e,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,b,c,.,c,o,m,/,n,e,w,s,/,w,o,r,l,d,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,-,5,7,6,5,0,5,1,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,a,f,r,i,c,a,c,h,e,c,k,.,o,r,g,/,f,a,c,t,-,c,h,e,c,k,s,/,r,e,p,o,r,t,s,/,b,e,w,a,r,e,-,y,o,u,-,s,h,a,r,e,-,t,h,e,s,e,-,s,h,u,t,d,o,w,n,s,a,-,v,i,d,e,o,s,-,a,r,e,-,m,i,s,l,e,a,d,i,n,g,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,S,a,m,m,y,J,o,e,D,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,1,6,0,5,6,8,3,0,6,6,1,3,8,2,1,4,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,t,w,i,t,t,e,r,.,c,o,m,/,S,a,m,m,y,J,o,e,D,/,s,t,a,t,u,s,/,1,4,1,6,0,5,6,8,3,0,6,6,1,3,8,2,1,4,7,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,p,s,/,p,l,a,c,e,/,U,l,u,n,d,i,/,d,a,t,a,=,!,4,m,2,!,3,m,1,!,1,s,0,x,1,e,f,0,6,3,6,c,8,6,b,2,2,0,c,3,:,0,x,c,b,1,d,d,6,6,c,5,0,c,6,9,7,4,d,?,s,a,=,X,&,v,e,d,=,2,a,h,U,K,E,w,i,W,i,K,n,D,5,f,j,x,A,h,X,3,Q,U,E,A,H,Z,W,1,A,x,s,Q,8,g,E,w,J,H,o,E,C,F,M,Q,A,Q,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,p,s,/,@,-,2,8,.,2,9,5,1,8,1,1,,,3,1,.,4,2,9,1,3,9,5,,,3,a,,,7,5,y,,,2,2,5,.,2,6,h,,,8,3,.,3,3,t,/,d,a,t,a,=,!,3,m,7,!,1,e,1,!,3,m,5,!,1,s,v,j,O,b,6,-,w,X,x,o,Z,C,s,x,q,h,w,V,g,5,X,Q,!,2,e,0,!,6,s,h,t,t,p,s,:,%,2,F,%,2,F,s,t,r,e,e,t,v,i,e,w,p,i,x,e,l,s,-,p,a,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,a,p,i,s,.,c,o,m,%,2,F,v,1,%,2,F,t,h,u,m,b,n,a,i,l,%,3,F,p,a,n,o,i,d,%,3,D,v,j,O,b,6,-,w,X,x,o,Z,C,s,x,q,h,w,V,g,5,X,Q,%,2,6,c,b,_,c,l,i,e,n,t,%,3,D,m,a,p,s,_,s,v,.,t,a,c,t,i,l,e,.,g,p,s,%,2,6,w,%,3,D,2,0,3,%,2,6,h,%,3,D,1,0,0,%,2,6,y,a,w,%,3,D,3,0,4,.,4,8,0,2,2,%,2,6,p,i,t,c,h,%,3,D,0,%,2,6,t,h,u,m,b,f,o,v,%,3,D,1,0,0,!,7,i,1,3,3,1,2,!,8,i,6,6,5,6,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,p,s,/,@,-,2,8,.,2,9,5,4,6,5,2,,,3,1,.,4,2,8,1,4,8,4,,,3,2,9,m,/,d,a,t,a,=,!,3,m,1,!,1,e,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,.,c,o,m,/,m,a,p,s,/,@,-,2,8,.,2,9,2,4,6,0,3,,,3,1,.,4,2,5,2,6,2,3,,,3,2,9,m,/,d,a,t,a,=,!,3,m,1,!,1,e,3,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,u,l,u,n,d,i,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,o,f,f,i,c,e,-,m,m" +23,,,,False,Taryn Willows,,,africacheck,https://africacheck.org/about/authors/taryn-willows,https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/fbchecks/no-covid-vaccines-cannot-make-you-magnetic-videos-claim,,2021-07-23,africacheck,,"Several videos doing the rounds on Facebook in South Africa appear to show different metal objects sticking to people who have recently received the Covid-19 vaccine.One video shows a phone stuck to a man’s arm, apparently after he received the second jab of the vaccine against Covid.Another shows a metal spoon sticking to a woman’s arm, apparently also  after she received the vaccine.A third video, with people speaking isiZulu, shows a woman putting a coin against a man’s arm and it also sticking to him. It’s unclear whether the man and woman in the third video are in fact South African, as the dialogue is out of sync with the people speaking, so may have been recorded over a video from elsewhere. The man and woman in the first and second videos sound Nigerian, though this could not be immediately confirmed.These videos have been widely shared since vaccines against Covid-19 first became available in South Africa, with claims the vaccines contain metals or microchips that make the site of injection magnetic. But could this startling claim be true? We checked.Debunked by South African government news agencyThe South African government news agency put out a statement about the reported phenomena on 11 June 2021, in response to the viral videos. It started: “The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health has welcomed input from top global health experts, who have dismissed purported links between the Covid-19 vaccine and magnetic fields.”Provincial government minister of health Nomagugu Simelane said that “several international medical scientists have rejected these claims as scientifically improbable and false”.“According to a report shared by World Health Organization (WHO) affiliated group, Africa Infodemic Response Alliance (Aira), Covid-19 vaccines do not contain magnetic microchips.”An earlier statement by the South African government on 9 June quoted Dr Stephen Schrantz, an infectious diseases specialist at the University of Chicago. He said: “No, getting a Covid-19 vaccine cannot cause your arm to be magnetised. This is a hoax, plain and simple”.“There is absolutely no way that a vaccine can lead to the reaction shown in these videos posted to Instagram and YouTube. It is better explained by two-sided tape on the metal disc being applied to the skin, rather than a magnetic reaction,” he said.The government also quoted Dr Thomas Hope, vaccine researcher and professor of cell and developmental biology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the US, who also debunked the claim.He said: “This is impossible. There’s nothing there [in the vaccine] that a magnet can interact with, it’s protein and lipids, salts, water and chemicals that maintain the pH. That’s basically it, so this is not possible.”Nothing magnetic in vaccine ingredients?In order for these metal objects to stick to where someone has received the vaccine jab, the ingredients would have to have a metal base.According to the WHO, none of the ingredients in Covid vaccines have a metal base.The WHO also says that many of the components used in vaccines “occur naturally in the body, in the environment, and in the foods we eat”. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also lists the ingredients for each of the Covid-19 vaccines approved around the world.The various ingredients in the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are listed by the FDA. None of these vaccines list any metal-based ingredients. The US Centres for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) notes that “Covid-19 vaccines do not contain ingredients that can produce an electromagnetic field at the site of your injection”. (Note: Only the Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer vaccines have been administered in South Africa at the time of writing.)Doses so small, even if were magnetic, wouldn’t attract objects shown in videosSome fact-checking organisations have also made the point that even if the vaccines did contain magnetic metals, one dose could not possibly cause a magnetic reaction. Medical professionals at the Meedan Health Desk have explained why: “The amount of metal that would need to be in a vaccine for it to attract a magnet is much more substantial than the amounts that could be present in a vaccine's small dose.”An expert the BBC spoke to gave some ways one can get metals to appear to stick to the skin. These include surface oils or tension and “trickery like band-aid residue or other sticky residue”. The claim that Covid-19 vaccines can cause a person to become magnetic at the vaccination site has been widely debunked by several other fact-checking organisations. It is simply not possible.",,"No, Covid vaccines cannot make you magnetic as videos claim","magnet, Coronavirus, Covid-19 vaccine",,,,,"h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,r,u,t,h,.,s,u,o,w,a,r,i,/,v,i,d,e,o,s,/,4,1,8,7,5,0,1,6,2,5,8,7,5,2,0,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,p,o,e,m,o,s,i,s,/,v,i,d,e,o,s,/,1,1,6,8,6,6,3,4,0,0,3,1,3,2,3,6,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,a,c,e,b,o,o,k,.,c,o,m,/,m,b,o,k,a,z,i,/,p,o,s,t,s,/,1,0,2,2,4,8,4,1,5,8,0,2,0,5,3,0,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,s,a,n,e,w,s,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,s,o,u,t,h,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,/,c,o,v,i,d,-,1,9,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,m,a,g,n,e,t,i,c,-,f,i,e,l,d,s,-,c,l,a,i,m,s,-,d,i,s,m,i,s,s,e,d,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,s,a,n,e,w,s,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,s,o,u,t,h,-,a,f,r,i,c,a,/,c,o,v,i,d,-,1,9,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,m,a,g,n,e,t,i,c,-,f,i,e,l,d,s,-,c,l,a,i,m,s,-,d,i,s,m,i,s,s,e,d,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,g,o,v,.,z,a,/,s,p,e,e,c,h,e,s,/,m,e,c,-,n,o,m,a,g,u,g,u,-,s,i,m,e,l,a,n,e,-,w,e,l,c,o,m,e,s,-,d,i,s,m,i,s,s,a,l,-,c,o,r,o,n,a,v,i,r,u,s,-,c,o,v,i,d,-,1,9,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,%,E,2,%,8,0,%,9,C,m,a,g,n,e,t,%,E,2,%,8,0,%,9,D,-,c,l,a,i,m,s,-,h,o,a,x,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,w,h,o,.,i,n,t,/,n,e,w,s,-,r,o,o,m,/,q,-,a,-,d,e,t,a,i,l,/,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,s,-,a,n,d,-,i,m,m,u,n,i,z,a,t,i,o,n,-,w,h,a,t,-,i,s,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,a,t,i,o,n,?,t,o,p,i,c,s,u,r,v,e,y,=,),&,g,c,l,i,d,=,C,j,w,K,C,A,j,w,r,u,S,H,B,h,A,t,E,i,w,A,_,q,C,p,p,k,x,j,3,N,W,U,i,M,N,Q,3,b,e,3,9,D,V,5,y,P,f,Z,1,9,F,0,O,0,Y,r,B,_,N,q,n,0,Z,l,4,w,7,r,s,n,2,q,R,5,9,3,9,R,o,C,v,b,E,Q,A,v,D,_,B,w,E,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,d,a,.,g,o,v,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,d,a,.,g,o,v,/,m,e,d,i,a,/,1,4,4,4,1,4,/,d,o,w,n,l,o,a,d,#,p,a,g,e,=,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,d,a,.,g,o,v,/,m,e,d,i,a,/,1,4,4,6,3,8,/,d,o,w,n,l,o,a,d,#,p,a,g,e,=,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,f,d,a,.,g,o,v,/,m,e,d,i,a,/,1,4,6,3,0,5,/,d,o,w,n,l,o,a,d,#,p,a,g,e,=,2,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,c,d,c,.,g,o,v,/,c,o,r,o,n,a,v,i,r,u,s,/,2,0,1,9,-,n,c,o,v,/,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,s,/,f,a,c,t,s,.,h,t,m,l,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,r,e,u,t,e,r,s,.,c,o,m,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,/,f,a,c,t,c,h,e,c,k,-,c,o,r,o,n,a,v,i,r,u,s,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,i,d,U,S,L,2,N,2,N,4,1,K,A,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,h,e,a,l,t,h,-,d,e,s,k,.,o,r,g,/,a,r,t,i,c,l,e,s,/,w,h,a,t,-,d,o,-,w,e,-,k,n,o,w,-,a,b,o,u,t,-,t,h,e,-,p,f,i,z,e,r,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,a,n,d,-,m,a,g,n,e,t,s,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,b,c,.,c,o,m,/,n,e,w,s,/,a,v,/,5,7,2,0,7,1,3,4,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,u,s,a,t,o,d,a,y,.,c,o,m,/,s,t,o,r,y,/,n,e,w,s,/,f,a,c,t,c,h,e,c,k,/,2,0,2,1,/,0,6,/,2,1,/,f,a,c,t,-,c,h,e,c,k,-,c,o,v,i,d,-,1,9,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,s,-,a,r,e,n,t,-,m,a,g,n,e,t,i,c,/,7,6,9,8,5,5,6,0,0,2,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,j,a,c,a,r,a,n,d,a,f,m,.,c,o,m,/,s,h,o,w,s,/,m,o,r,n,i,n,g,s,-,w,i,t,h,-,m,a,c,k,/,w,a,t,c,h,-,c,o,v,i,d,-,1,9,-,v,a,c,c,i,n,e,-,w,o,n,t,-,m,a,k,e,-,y,o,u,-,m,a,g,n,e,t,i,c,/,,,h,t,t,p,s,:,/,/,w,w,w,.,b,b,c,.,c,o,m,/,n,e,w,s,/,a,v,/,5,7,2,0,7,1,3,4" +24,,,,Incorrect,Naledi Mashishi,,,africacheck,https://africacheck.org/about/authors/naledi-mashishi,https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/reports/state-emergency-would-not-strip-ramaphosas-powers-and-make-dlamini-zuma,"If a state of emergency is declared in South Africa the president will be stripped of his powers, which will go to the military. Cooperative governance minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma will, in terms of the disaster management act, “take over”.",2021-07-23,africacheck,,"After calls for a state of emergency to deal with protests and looting in South Africa, a message appeared on social media claiming that an emergency declaration would give the president’s powers to the military and put cooperative governance minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma in charge.Constitutional law experts told Africa Check this was false. A state of emergency would give the president more power, and he would retain control of the military.The current state of disaster to control Covid-19 does give the cooperative governance minister limited new powers. But she would not “take over”, as the message claims, under a state of emergency.A message heavily shared on WhatsApp and Facebook warns about the consequences of a state of emergency being declared in South Africa.“If a state of emergency is declared the military takes over the rule of the land and the state president is stripped of his powers,” it reads. “In terms of the Disaster management Act Nkosazana dlamini Zuma will take over giving power to the Zuma’s.” Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma is South Africa’s minister of cooperative governance and traditional affairs (Cogta). She was married to former president Jacob Zuma from 1993 to 1998.South Africa saw a week of violent protests and looting after Zuma was taken into custody to serve a 15-month sentence for contempt of court. At least 337 people were killed and 1,500 arrested. The violence led to calls for the government to declare a state of emergency to restore order.Is the message an accurate reflection of what would happen if a state of emergency was declared in South Africa? We checked. Viral message is ‘absurd’Prof Pierre de Vos, a constitutional law expert in the department of public law at the University of Cape Town, said the viral message was “absurd”. He explained that under a state of emergency, governance still lies with parliament and the executive. But the presidency is given more powers –  they are not “stripped” away. The South African constitution and the State of Emergency Act allow the president to declare a state of emergency only when “the life of the nation is threatened by war, invasion, general insurrection, disorder, natural disaster, or other public emergency”. It can apply to the whole country or a specific area. “It gives the president Cyril Ramaphosa more power to make regulations,” de Vos said. But he added that there were limits to the presidency’s additional powers under a state of emergency: “The extra powers can only be used if they are necessary to deal with the emergency. You cannot make regulations about things that are not directly linked to trying to deal with the emergency.”Michael Evans is an attorney and partner at law firm Webber Wentzel with experience in local government, and administrative and constitutional issues. He told Africa Check that the military would not take over during a state of emergency. “The president is still the one who [delegates] responsibility and [confers] power and he can at any time withdraw it.”State of disaster during Covid pandemic  The message also claims that “in terms of the Disaster management Act Nkosazana dlamini Zuma will take over giving power to the Zuma’s”. South Africa is currently under a state of disaster, which was declared on 15 March 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Disaster Management Act, which falls under Cogta, dictates which regulations are enforced. At the moment these include mandatory mask-wearing in public, a curfew, restrictions on gatherings and an alcohol ban.But De Vos said the act was “completely separate” legislation that could not override the constitution. Evans told Africa Check that while the state of disaster has given Dlamini-Zuma powers that she would not ordinarily have as Cogta minister, she does not take the place of the president. He said there were key differences between a state of emergency and a state of disaster.A state of emergency has more parliamentary oversight than a state of disaster. Under the constitution, parliament must review a state of emergency after 21 days. “One of the problems with the national disaster has been that once a national disaster has been declared there is very little parliamentary oversight, which we’ve seen in the last year and a half,” Evans explained. Another major difference is that the public still have all of their basic constitutional rights under a state of disaster. But these rights can be limited under a state of emergency.  No state of emergency since apartheid ended South Africa last saw a state of emergency under the apartheid regime, in 1986. Evans, who was detained three times during apartheid-era states of emergency, told Africa Check the current state of emergency act was a “much better situation”.“Under the apartheid era we had no constitution so there was absolutely no protection. You could detain people, for example, indefinitely under the emergency in the apartheid era,” he said. “Now, if we have a state of emergency it will be very different because you will still retain a number of your constitutional rights and some of the other issues are quite heavily regulated.”The constitution includes a section setting out which rights can be limited under a state of emergency, and to what extent. Importantly, the right to life and human dignity are entirely protected from limitation. But De Vos warned that a state of emergency should not be taken lightly, as other rights could be limited. “They could, for example, allow people to be detained for 30 or 60 days without a trial.” The government could have the power to limit the media and communication, such as by shutting down the internet, if it is deemed necessary to deal with the emergency.Conclusion: No accuracy in claims about state of emergency in South AfricaA viral message on WhatsApp and Facebook warns that a declaration of a state of emergency in South Africa would strip powers from the president and give them to the military. It also claims that under the Disaster Management Act, Cogta minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma would become president.Two constitutional law experts rubbished these claims. Under a state of emergency the president is given more power and retains control of the military. The current state of disaster to deal with Covid-19 does give Dlamini-Zuma more power than before. But she would not become the president under a state of emergency.We therefore rate the message as incorrect.The experts warned, however, that a state of emergency should not be taken lightly as it could allow basic rights to be limited.",,State of emergency would NOT strip Ramaphosa’s powers and make Dlamini-Zuma president,"state of emergency, president,

It is great honor to rename Dik Dik Road after my political godfather. On top of that he is also a staunch supporter of BBI.” Atwoli is the general secretary of Kenya’s Central Organization of Trade Unions. A road in Nairobi was named after him in May and he publicly thanked Mwenda for the honour on Twitter. But the renaming was criticised by some Kenyans and new road signs have been vandalised at least twice.David Murathe is the vice-chairperson of the country’s ruling party, Jubilee. Mike Mbuvi Sonko is the former governor of Nairobi county who was removed from office in December 2020.The graphic also shows the logo of the trusted news outlet Nation Africa. It has been shared by other users and Facebook groups. But is the quote genuine?No evidence Mwenda said anything similarThe graphic looks badly photoshopped and the photo of Mwenda is blurry. The quote includes misspellings and missing words, which is unusual in a communication from a trustworthy news organisation. The font is also different from the one used in other similar graphics from Nation Africa. These are all signs that the graphic wasn’t issued by the news outlet and is fake.Africa Check looked at all similar graphics published since 18 June 2021 and did not find this quote from Mwenda, or anything similar.Using the Nairobi City County website, we found the county’s Twitter handle and from there, the county deputy boss’s account. She has not posted anything on Twitter like the comment in the digitally manipulated graphic.We could find no coverage in any news outlet of a quote like it. It appears to have been made up.",,No evidence Nairobi county deputy governor made statement about Kenya trade unionist helping her get top

shared on Facebook show a futuristic structure like something from a James Bond movie, set on a high v-shaped platform among trees. The caption to the photos claims it is the home of a former spy – former intelligence officer and long-time Russian president Vladimir Putin. It reads: “Putin House in Sochi, Russia designed by Roman Vlasov.”Putin has been president since 2012, and also served in the position from 1999 to 2008. Sochi is a city and resort area on the Black Sea in southwestern Russia. But is this really Putin’s house in Sochi? We investigated.‘This is my vision of the house of the president of my country, Vladimir Putin’ – architectA reverse image search for the three photos revealed the same three images shared on Instagram, posted by the architect Roman Vlasov.They are all captioned “PUTIN HOUSE or a story about what his villa might look like By @_vlasov_roman_”.These images are design concepts, illustrations for an idea created by the architect. They do not show a building that has been built, or what Putin’s house actually looks like.Vlasov told AFP Fact-Check this was just a concept.“In my Instagram account there is a description for this work,” he said. “And it says that this is my vision of the house of the president of my country, Vladimir Putin. I have not written anywhere that this house is his property.”Many Putin residencesThere was controversy in early 2021 about Putin building himself a “mega-palace” and spending more time away from his residence in Novo-Ogaryovo, just outside the Russian capital, than he admitted. His official residence is in the Kremlin, the fortified complex in the center of Moscow which is home to the Russian government.
