thank you for taking us through that, matt,, bbc verify has been looking at the impact —— impact.een looking at the impact on people's tra the weather last night was wild in the uk, multiple weather warnings covering almost all of the uk, unsurprisingly that led to a lot of trouble disruption, —— travel disruption, particularly in the airports and the skies, have a look at this plane trying to land at heathrow in london. bumpy. and there were more than 100 flights that did this, try to land but could not on sunday. are there flights were diverted before they got to their destination. i want to show a few examples from open source flight data from flight radar about what went on yesterday. if you're already a nervous flyer, you might not want to see this. this flight was supposed to go across the irish sea from manchester to dublin, pretty short flight, that didn't happen. instead, it was diverted all the way down here to paris. similar story here, this flight went from the canary islands, gran canaria, all the way to belfast, and it couldn't land in belfast so it had to divert all

bbc verify has been following the attacks and analysing the video. here's merlyn thomas.in recent weeks. this is one of them, al—ahmar hospital in khan yunis, in southern gaza. and this video was released yesterday by the palestinian red crescent society and it claims to show the aftermath of an israeli strike killing five people, including a newborn child. now, we know that this is this al—ahmar hospital from the distinctive red doors that you're about to see here, as well as the wide concrete steps leading to the hospital. and the video then follows people moving outside, where we get to the street, and we can see the shape of the buildings and the placement of the trees outside, which match other images that are available online of that particular area. and the world health organization has also published their own video showing the damage to the hospital and have repeated the claim of the death of a five—day—old baby. al—ahmar is one of two hospitals in khan yunis, along with nasser hospital, and they're just 600 metres apart and they've both been hit in the past few

a bbc verify investigation has uncovered a network of nearly 200 fake social media accounts operatingt and targeting its critics at times with threats. the bbc�*s marco silva has been looking into this story for us. he's been explaining what stood out about these accounts. i came across this network of fake social media accounts. there were a few giveaways that made these accounts suspicious. one of them is the fact that they use as profile pictures photos from social media stolen from the accounts of models, actresses, influencers. these accounts also appear to be laser focused, focused on one thing and one thing alone. that was ugandan politics. and as well, they often post it in tandem. at the same time, the same content, using the same language. another giveaway, perhaps, is the fact that many of these accounts were all created in the same day. now, this makes it look like, while they may look like they were separate accounts independent from each other, all these different giveaways show us that they're very, very likely to have been working together to achieve two different thin

as i said, a transcript of air traffic control exchanges has been released today, and bbc verify hasons around the time of the incident — for example. now, most of the sound, as you can hear, is very unclear. but from our analysis and the transcript, something important emerges. there's nothing to suggest the coastguard plane seen in this archive video was given permission to enter the runway, leaving the question of how it ended up there. the aircraft could have crossed a red stop bar, a series of red lights across the taxiway. very unusual if that was to happen. did they hear a take—off clearance for another aeroplane and mistook it for themselves? or perhaps did dtcc actually clear them to line up on the runway? that will come out in the investigation. we have found information that suggests the series of lights at the relevant holding point may not have been working, but experts point out there are other visual cues like painted markings. this is the wreckage of the coastguard plane. when it came to the evacuation from the passenger plane, japan airlines says the announcement sys

nick eardley from bbc verify has more details. thanks, ben.rday that we have been hearing about, but it would have been particularly noticeable if you were a nervous flyer last night. 0ver noticeable if you were a nervous flyer last night. over 100 noticeable if you were a nervous flyer last night. 0ver100 planes tried to land somewhere and had to abort, what is known in the aviation industry as i go around. many more flights were diverted before they got to their destination. this plane was trying to land at heathrow. as you can see, it was not successful. pretty bumpy. here's another at gatwick — you can see how bumpy the landing was. this plane reached its city of destination, but the wrong airport. plenty didn't even manage that. we've been speaking to passengers and looking at open source flight data like the website flightradar. here are some examples from last night. this flight was supposed to go from seville in the south of spain up to edinburgh, but ended up in cologne in germany, 560 miles away. and this flight here was going from g
