Here's how Monday shaped up - and what's still to come

From Gaza to Ukraine to Westminster, it’s been a busy day on BBC Verify Live. Our open-source reporters scoured social media to try and build a clearer picture of what happened after multiple people were reportedly killed near a Gaza aid centre.

We also explained how we were able to verify footage of Ukraine’s drone strikes on Russia using publicly available tools like satellite maps and reverse image search.

In the UK, we analysed the government's defence review, looking at how much it would cost to reach Nato spending targets and how the defence budget compares with other countries in the alliance. The review was released in full this evening and you can read more about it on this live page.

For more of our videos, investigations and analysis, you can head to the Verify pages of the BBC News website.

Personally, I’m so disillusioned with this conflict. I feel like I can’t trust anything I see related to it anymore and westerners are going literally insane, as in, losing their minds, in the name of a fight they have nothing to do with. Tired of the death, tired of the virtue signalling, tired of the lies, tired of the dehumanising.

> It was posted with a caption by an Al Jazeera journalist stating: "New footage reveals the horrific massacre committed by Israeli forces near a US aid distribution site in southern Gaza."

> We have geolocated the clip to a spot in Khan Younis about 4.5km (2.8 miles) from the nearest aid distribution point. The direction of shadows suggests it was filmed in the evening, not the morning, which doesn't match accounts of the Rafah shootings.

It's curious BBC admits they blindly took the word of a pro Hamas network. It's also curious they constantly fall for Hamas scams as they don't blindly repost IDF talking points.

BBC should investigate Al Jazeera now. BBC even made a full Gaza documentary they initially refused to take down then later after too much negative feedback finally took down.
