many poets who, who help these refugees offering free rights, offering a free phone cards and other things. and that's why the, it's a little cloud kotik here but, but actually the, the boot is not bad. okay. so is, this is the hot spot where you are a right now reception center near the polish border. would give us a broader picture about the refugee situation. what does it look like right now? i've mentioned that figure 660000. this is quite a recent figure. it's quite new. more than half of them are here. poland right now we have to expect many more people because we know that there are still long, long lines of cars. many kilometers 15, maybe 20 kilometers on the border crossing points. so they are still many people who are trying to flee ukraine. and yet they were coming here to poland, but also to early hungary, mo, davia,

2:36 pm
still so many try to come on and we hope that the reception facilities here in poland and the other neighboring countries are good enough to to accept so many more people. but it will be a challenge. definitely because most of their from thank you and hcr. thank you. look now at the latest developments russian troops are continuing their advance on the ukrainian capital give. satellite images appeared to show a convoy of military vehicles more than 60 kilometers long, just north of the city. the convoy includes hundreds of armored vehicles, tanks, and artillery pieces. it was a report it to be about 25 kilometers from keith. ukrainian forces have held off earlier, attacks by russian forces near the capital, destroying several russian vehicles close to the city center and in ukraine,

braces for a new phase in the war. the russian invasion of ukraine has led to many false or misleading videos and pictures on social media. sometimes it's hard to say what is real and what is fake that it. so let's bring in nerdy w's head of fact, checking your vba. dal break this down at your shop. what do those fake news videos and pictures look like? and how do you identify them without we are currently facing a real flood of fakes and misleading content. seeking our attention, a big part of them is actually all pictures or footage reused. to give you an example, this is a video on that went viral on tick tock. it shows a huge explosion, allegedly stemming from an tak on a crane a day before the russian invasion even began. but what should make suspicious is that the trees and bushes here are surprisingly green for february in or crane. we
2:40 pm
found older versions of the video on the web and it's actually showing a gas station in a suburban city of north bills that went up in flames. last summer, so there is no link to the warner crane and the same goes for the next video. we do have prepared for you. and here we see a formation of fighter jets flying over an urban area. twitter user has written in chinese live broadcast of the war in a crane. the reverse image, sort of a screenshot, reveals that the video dates back to 2020 and shows an air show in the north of moscow. so we see these out of context pose. now on a daily basis and a lot of them. yeah, i believe by people god, we have to say. so what are all is combat videos that we're seeing about burnt our tanks and all that. how do we know if they're real or not? in short, be skeptical, think twice, and really take
2:41 pm
a closer look at these images. for example, show a russ russian jets and the next clip are we have prepared for you. russian jazz launching attacks on military targets. really? no. they don't. they are actually from the video game, armor 3, these kind of game animations are very realistic. so people think they are real. the same thing happened to another video be, have prepared for you. our social media uses claimed that the following video and it shows and ukrainian fighter jammed to shooting down a russian plane to be exact. they say it's the ghost of kiff and crenan fighter jet pilot. some sources say this pilot has shot down 6 russian jets on one day. however, this clip is from the video game, digital cumbersome, lighter, which was confirmed by the company behind the video game. so anyway,
2:42 pm
the ghost of keith has become a move of this war. and for some koreans, he is a hero gal, and we do have another video um, which shows this ghost of here, if there are several pictures of him circulating on the web and we checked them, a lot of them are manipulated. they photoshop, another head on a pilot from canada, or they remixed a picture of an a cranium soldier who die during the 1st days of war with an argentinean lawyer. all this can be verified by a reverse image should sort cat is all very complicated. your so these are kind of facts, they're really, really hard to spot of the magic. we're looking at video game pictures, i believe they are right. that. so how can we in general prevent, to be fooled? to be very honest, it even happens to professionals to us as well. but to take the example of the tv
2:43 pm
branch of the german media outlet built are we prepared this video and the images show. hundreds of russian soldiers allegedly parachuting over the or crenan city of hockey. if we see this news ahmed here by the german outlet built and we found the exact same video, or we're seeing here on facebook dating back to 2016. so the footage it, it appears is from russia and not from the a crane and not from the actual war. so sometimes even big media let fall for a for it, and yet how can be prevented to be fooled again? i think before you share and double check the material, maybe even the metadata of this material. so what was the strangest fact you've come across during your research on the war and ukraine? i could pick her this one are we found some news on her. see an an journalist
