BBC Verify senior journalist Paul Brown will be bringing their Live Page coverage to a close for now, but the team’s work continues.
In the Middle East, BBC Verify verified footage of a deadly fire in Kut, Iraq, which has killed at least 61 people. The team also examined recent clashes in Syria and looked into the impact of the UK government’s pledge to “smash the gangs” following its agreement with Germany.
The team fact-checked President Trump’s claim that Coca-Cola will change its US recipe, exploring the health impacts of the drink made with corn syrup or cane sugar.
In a separate effort, the late team will review images from the Iraq fire, including videos from inside the building, to establish the sequence of events. For more on all these stories and others, visit the BBC News website’s dedicated corner for up-to-date coverage.
