Last week we joined #UNBOXDLive in Digbeth, bringing Verify to life for 16-24s. We shared how our journalism works and ran our 'Filter the Fakes' quiz designed by @paulybrown.bsky.social, challenging audiences to spot AI images. Listening to young people is central to shaping the BBC’s future.

BBC Verify is trying to show the world (a) how we know what we know, and (b) how you can do it, too. Always needs a team. Here's a crash course, using examples from @shayan86.bsky.social, @paulybrown.bsky.social, @emmapengelly.bsky.social, @sryder.bsky.social and @danict89.bsky.social.

Some UK social media users have been pouring milk down their sinks in protest at the trial of a feed additive called Bovaer. Here's what we know about it and why it sparked controversy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @bbcmarcosilva.bsky.social @nickeardleybbc.bsky.social and Matt Murphy

Why has new additive Bovaer prompted people to throw Arla milk away?

The new additive aims to cut down on methane emissions from cows, but some have raised safety concerns.
