We’ve had our eyes on east Asia today after new pictures of Chinese naval vessels crossing the Philippine Sea were released. The team has been speaking to experts about what the satellite imagery tells us and have tracked the expansion of a Chinese naval base.
Meanwhile, our fact-checkers and data experts have focused on stories here in the UK:
- Health Secretary Wes Streeting has launched a review into rising ADHD diagnoses, here’s what the data shows
- The number of adults being treated for substance abuse is at a 20-year high, with ketamine now making up the largest share
- Reform UK has declared £10m in donations, so we took a look at how this compares with other political parties
Plus, watch this dramatic footage we’ve verified of a bridge collapsing on the flood-ravaged Indonesian island of Sumatra.
That’s all from BBC Verify Live today, but the team are on shift here and in Washington DC through the evening and we’ll be back with more live updates from the team.
