US President Donald Trump has attempted to one-up California Governor Gavin Newsom in their war of words, by releasing his own screenshots to Fox News to "prove" the pair had spoken on the phone on Monday. However his own call log proved he was in the wrong, with no phone call occurring on that date – and Fox News dishonestly spun the error. Meanwhile, Newsom takes a leaf out of Trump's social media playbook, by using AI videos to make jabs. Vedika Bahl explains in this edition of Truth or Fake.

Artificial intelligence is being weaponised amidst mounting protests in Los Angeles to mislead and misinform. An AI-generated video claiming to show a National Guard soldier provoking protesters in LA has racked up over 1 million views – and counting – on TikTok.

Since Ukraine's surprise "Operation Spider's Web" strikes on Russian bombers, some internet users have been coming up with theories about how Kyiv carried them out.

Vedika Bahl goes through Trump's latest foray into conspiracy theories in this edition of Truth or Fake.

A clip showing Brigitte Macron appearing to shove the French president in the face went viral, with local media initially reporting that the Élysée Palace had dismissed the video as "fake".
