A Turkish satirical magazine cover depicting a scowling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy asking what he would do to get attention back on himself in the midst of the Israel-Gaza war is fake, despite an image circulating online. The title for the Turkish magazine, LeMan, can be seen across the upper-third of the screenshot. Edition 1647 was actually published on Oct. 18 and does not depict Zelenskiy, nor does it refer to the war between Hamas and Israel. The outlet published the real 1647 edition cover on X on Oct. 19. No such cover was published by the Turkish magazine LeMan.

FOUNEX, Switzerland Aug 25 (Reuters) - Lake Geneva, nestled at the foot of the Alps, has long been considered as a near-pristine body of water, but new research has found that its plastic pollution levels are as high as those in the oceans. Oceaneye, a Geneva-based non-profit that has for more than a decade been scouring the seas to collect plastic fragments, has turned its attention closer to home to landlocked Switzerland. [1/5]A boat of NGO Oceaneye collects plastic fragments in the water of Lake Leman in Founex near Geneva, Switzerland August 21, 2023. Microplastics derive from the breakdown of various consumer and industrial plastic waste over time and their concentrations are accumulating in the world's oceans. "When we began working on this 12 years ago and talked about plastic fragments in water, people took us for wackos and now it is a recognised problem."

Back in 2019, the fight club started live streaming its events and charging around $14 per fight. In the exchange, a fan asked why the fight club allows anti-fascists to compete.
