A video compilation that includes old footage of floods has been shared online to falsely claim it depicts extreme flooding in Britain on August 26, 2023. No reports from credible outlets were found about floods in Britain that put 78,000 people underwater on Aug. 26. Outlets including the BBC (here) and The Independent (youtu.be/gtJAfA6L5Yk?t=35) featured the video in reports of a flood on August 17, 2022. Reuters could not immediately source the video showing a view of River Taff in Cardiff (goo.gl/maps/AG11itb7Yau98z1j6) (1:06-1:18), but the scene resembles a photograph published by outlet WalesOnline on Jan. 12, 2023 (here) (see photo 21). This montage compiles old clips and does not show extreme flooding in Britain on Aug. 26, 2023.

REUTERS/Henry NichollsLONDON, April 4 (Reuters) - Hundreds of Google employees staged a walkout at the company’s London offices on Tuesday, following a dispute over layoffs. Trade union Unite, which counts hundreds of Google’s UK employees among its members, said the company had ignored concerns put forward by employees. “Our members are clear: Google needs to listen to its own advice of not being evil,” said Unite regional officer Matt Whaley. Last month, workers at the company’s Zurich office in Switzerland staged a similar walkout, with employee representatives claiming Google had rejected their proposals to reduce job cuts. We know this is a very challenging time for our employees,” a Google spokesperson said.
