Newsday

Available for over a year

The ѿý has just launched its international anti-disinformation initiative, Beyond Fake News. The ѿý’s Africa investigations unit, Africa Eye, has looked at the dangerous impact of false information in Nigeria, where authorities believe people are being killed as a result. The authorities in Northern California say they have found the remains of another thirteen people killed by the worst wildfire in the history of the state. It brings the total known to have died in the blaze in and around the town of Paradise to 42. World leaders are meeting in Palermo to discuss the crisis in Libya. The conference is supposed to focus on reconciliation between warring sides, amid the hope that elections can take place next year.
