The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .Syrian rebels overthrew President Bashar Assad on Dec. 8, ending his family’s more than 50 years of rule in the country. Assad reportedly fled to Russia, where he was granted political asylum. One image shared across social media appears to show Assad and his wife arriving in Russia after fleeing Syria. A video shared thousands of times appears to show the aftermath of his plane after it crashed. A graphic image of a man being tortured has been shared with claims it shows a real scene from inside one of the notorious prisons in Syria. QUESTION #1 Does this image show Assad and his wife arriving in Russia? THE SOURCES Syria Stream video from Feb. 10, 2023 RevEye , a reverse image search tool THE ANSWER No, this image doesn’t show Assad and his wife arriving in Russia. It’s from February 2023 and was taken in Syria. WHAT WE FOUND Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed to TASS, a Russian news agency, that Assad and his family were granted political asylum in Russia, but VERIFY has been unable to find any photographic evidence of their arrival in the country. The image being shared is nearly two years old. Using RevEye, VERIFY conducted a reverse image search and found the image was lifted from this video posted to YouTube on Feb. 10, 2023 by Syria Stream , a channel that posts Syrian news footage. The video shows Assad visiting a hospital in Aleppo, Syria, on Feb. 10, 2023, after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the region. When comparing the viral image and the 2023 video, Assad and his wife are wearing the same outfits, standing with the same people and walking through the same hallway. QUESTION #2 Does this video posted on social media show the aftermath of Assad’s plane crash? THE SOURCES Video posted to X on Sept. 3, 2024 Indian Air Force X post from Sept. 2, 2024 InVid and RevEye , video and photo forensics tools THE ANSWER No, this video doesn’t show the aftermath of Assad’s plane crash. The video predates Assad’s ousting from the Syrian government. WHAT WE FOUND This video doesn’t show the aftermath of Assad’s plane crashing. It shows a different plane crash and is unrelated to the recent events in Syria. Using InVid , a video forensics tool, VERIFY analyzed the video and conducted a reverse image search of each frame. The same video was posted to X on Sept. 3, 2024 , appearing to show an Indian Air Force plane crash near the Indian border with Pakistan. The original post says, “A MiG-29UPG of the #India 's Air Force crashed last night near the border with #Pakistan , tallying at the 6th crash of the IAF in 2024 till date.” The Indian Air Force confirmed the crash , saying the IAF MiG-29 crashed after a malfunction and the pilot was able to eject safely. TASS, a Russian news agency, reported that Assad and his family members arrived in Moscow, and did not die in a plane crash. QUESTION #3 Does this image show a real scene of torture under Assad’s reign in Syria? THE SOURCES Dana News and Akharin Khabar , Persian news sites Egrat Museum’s Instagram page RevEye , a reverse image search tool THE ANSWER No, the image doesn’t show a real scene of torture under Assad’s reign. It is actually a wax museum exhibit in Iran. WHAT WE FOUND Human rights organizations have long accused Assad and the Syrian government of torture, but this image does not show that. It’s actually an image of an exhibit at the Ebrat Museum in Tehran, Iran. The museum, a former prison, uses wax mannequins to portray human rights abuses carried out by the SAVAK, Iran’s pre-revolution intelligence agency. Nearly identical images from the exhibit, featured in Persian news articles about the museum, match the scene falsely claimed to depict Syria. The museum has posted images of similar wax figures on Instagram.

Khargone (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Mohan Yadav attended the closing ceremony of the Rural Technology National Conference, hosted by Nimar Abhyudaya Sansthan in Lepa village. The event, spanning three days, focused on the importance of rural technology and its potential to transform village life. In a significant infrastructure announcement, the Chief Minister revealed plans to construct a bridge over the Veda River between Tigriav and Bamhangaon, which will enhance connectivity in the region. The bridge would also facilitate efficient travel for villagers. Highlighting the significance of agriculture and cow rearing, CM Yadav said, "Development of villages will happen only with the ideals of Lord Krishna. Farming is not possible without cows, which have been an integral part of our ancient culture." His remarks underscored the need to revive traditional practices to ensure sustainable agricultural development. He also highlighted the importance of education in rural development, noting the impact of the institute's efforts over the past 19 years. He praised the conference as a platform for generating ideas that will foster the growth of rural technology and create employment opportunities in the villages. दुनिया में उथल-पुथल के चलते कई विकासशील देशों की जीडीपी नीचे जा रही है, वहीं यशस्वी प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जी के नेतृत्व में भारत की पताका ऊँची होती जा रही है... @narendramodi pic.twitter.com/o0eb9YvjBe During the ceremony, he recognised the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in promoting rural technology and enhancing India's global standing, saying, "Our country is going through a golden period."

While the Crown Point Fire Department continues its investigation into a fire that decimated an apartment building early Sunday morning, the community isn’t letting the fire victims go without. Efforts to get the 31 families displaced by the fire at Cypress Pointe started pretty much immediately, Property Manager Mariam Jeninga said Monday. As she came into work, items were piled in front of the door high enough that it took her a moment to get inside, she said. “It’s been incredible, such an outpouring of support,” Jeninga said. “I’ve had people coming nonstop all day just wanting to help these residents.” Jeninga has also been working with residents and their insurance companies to get them placed in other units in the complex or, if that isn’t possible, a sister property in town, she said. The displaced residents, with the American Red Cross’s help, spent the night in a hotel last night, but now there’s a shelter set up at Immanuel Presbyterian Church, 140 U.S. 30 in Schererville, for those who don’t have other accommodations. “We have a place for the residents to stay — they have beds set up and are serving breakfast, lunch and dinner — so no one will go without a warm place while we get this figured out for them,” Jeninga said. People interested in donating to the displaced residents are asked to bring all sizes of men’s women and children’s clothing, hygiene products and pet supplies to the Cypress Pointe Leasing Office at 930 Cypress Pointe Dr., Crown Point. The office will not accept cash, but gift cards are welcome; those giving gift cards are to ask for Jeninga herself. Meanwhile, CPFD completed its scene investigation Monday afternoon, but the fire’s exact cause is not yet determined, Deputy Chief Ryan Cusack said. Preliminary results show, however, that the fire affected the center third of the 35-unit building, he said. The Crown Point Fire Department was called around 3:24 a.m. December 8 to the 900 block of Cypress Point Drive for a fire, according to a release the City of Crown Point put out Sunday. Crews arrived on the scene to find a fire that extended to the roof, so officers started alerting neighbors to evacuate, according to the release. None of the residents in the building when the fire broke out were injured, although a dog did die, according to social media. While it’s unclear how many units were occupied in the building, all units were affected because of the roof damage and power getting cut off; as such, the property manager has coordinated with the American Red Cross to get the residents temporary accommodations, the Post-Tribune previously reported. Four units, however, were destroyed, and four additional units have smoke and water damage, according to the release. Firefighters from multiple departments brought the fire under control in about an hour and cleared the scene by 7:15 a.m., according to the release. No firefighters were injured in the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Those residents displaced by the fire who haven’t gotten help from the American Red Cross yet are asked to call 1-800-733-2767. The Crown Point Police Department and Emergency Management Agency, as well as the Merrillville, Cedar Lake, Lowell, Lake Dale, Lake Hills, Hebron, Schererville, Union Township and Boone Grove Fire Departments and Tri-Creek EMS, assisted.
