who had visited buenos aires near four seasons hotel, which is the building, the main building you see in the background. and they were running towards him and his car as he was arriving at the hotel. interesting. so another example which we saw merlyn thomas talking about — this fire in chile that the iranians also claim to be drone damage to israel. can you talk us through how you examined that one? absolutely. again, very similar to the previous video. so colleagues from bbc monitoring got in touch and said, "we have spotted this video that is being run on iranian state tv". and when you look at the video, it's actually quite, quite dramatic footage. you see what appears to be a motorway in the foreground and then in the background, there's a massive ball of fire that turns the night sky completely red. and the video that was run on iranian state tv didn't have sound on it. but when we found the video on social media spreading on social media, it was crystal clear that

anytime there's a massive breaking news situation, we've got to be prepared for a torrent of misleading footage being posted online. we have to be careful about what is actually accurate and true and what is not. shayan sardarizadeh, thank you so much for coming on. it's been hard to ignore the former prime minister liz truss this week. in case you haven't noticed, she's got a book out and has given several media interviews, including one with the bbc�*s political editor chris mason, played in full on newscast and in shorter versions elsewhere on bbc news. you talk in the book about the deep state. i mean, isn't that to indulge in conspiracy theory kind of quackery? ijust think british politics has to move on from the whole sort of personality politics of "who's the leader, what has x said, what has y said,

israel's iron dome defence system in action against those strikes. meanwhile, video from iranian sources said to show missiles launching on saturday originated variously from the war in gaza in 2021, turkish rockets fired in syria in 2020, ukrainian missiles targeting russian ships last month, and an old farm fire in chile. more footage claiming to be of israelis panicking at the drone attacks actually showed fans of the pop star louis tomlinson in argentina last week. well, those videos with their sometimes wild claims are amongst the footage that's been examined over the past week by journalists at bbc verify. one of those journalists is shayan sardarizadeh and hejoins me now. thank you so much for taking the time to come on newswatch. can we talk about the footage of pop fans in buenos aires that we just showed a bit of ther? how fast did that get exposed, and what was the process?

in the middle east, such is the fog of war and the amount of propaganda and inaccuracies being circulated. take this report by merlyn thomas from bbc verify. misinformation has been circulating. iran's state tv repeatedly aired a video of a fire in chile, claiming that it was footage of missiles successfully hitting targets in israel. we found the original version of the clip, which was posted to tik tok in february. and the israel defense forces posted this video compilation on ex of iran's retaliatory attacks. most of the clips are of the attack, but there's one old clip here right at the end of the video, and that's from nearly ten years ago of a russian grad rocket launcher. as well as those two examples, last weekend saw a plethora of other cases of disinformation being circulated. video of palestinians praying at the al—aqsa mosque last week was claimed as showing them celebrating saturday's iranian strikes, and footage from this video game, arma iii was posted as showing

we are now that western governments appear to back israel the moment that israel is under attack, but when israel attacks and murders tens of thousands of innocent palestinians, we say the words, but we do almost nothing? i don't think that's right at all. the terminology used there prompted a significant backlash against nick robinson, including this message to newswatch from pauljaffey. nick robinson put out a statement that afternoon saying, meanwhile, rhoda yates sent us this plea about the bbc�*s coverage more widely. it's not easy right now to work out exactly what is happening

iran's attack on israel last weekend heightened tensions at what was already a very volatile moment in the middle east, made even more volatile since by israel's response on friday. no surprise that the conflict dominated bbc news coverage on sunday. last night, for a few hours, israel lived in its skies. fighterjets battling waves of iranian drones and missiles fired at israeli targets. in iran, the launches were celebrated, one after the other, on national television. in the hours and days that followed, the attacks prompted plenty of commentary, analysis and interviews across bbc outlets. the latter included this question put on monday's today programme by presenter nick robinson to foreign secretary lord cameron. isn't the real risk of where

"it has taken an itv drama and an anonymous viewer had the same concern. well, ifjournalism has been found wanting here, and we'll be exploring that question in a moment, there have certainly been some honourable exceptions. the story was first broken back in 2009 by the magazine computer weekly and pursued doggedly over many years by them, by private eye, the daily mail and by the bbc, amongst others. we've come across dozens of examples similar to this, postmasters who...

about any aspect of the scandal. and i don't know why more people weren't asking her that question. if serious news editors from large news organisations had gone to the government and said, "why won't the chief executive the post office give an interview to anyone"? then things might have happened. and i think actually that is one finger that you can point atjournalism. why weren't big news organisations piling in there at the very highest level and saying, "it is unacceptable that this person, this the leader of this organisation who is paid by the taxpayer, is refusing to allow herself to be held to account". now, you first worked on this, i think, for radio surrey and the bbc regional tv current affairs series inside out. inside out, of course, no longer exists. it was axed by bbc management a few years ago. bbc local radio budgets have gone down a lot. do you think it would be harder now to get this sort of investigation off the ground at the bbc? yes. it was one of the saddest moments of my career when after the radio four series went out, stories that
