FWIW, further confirmation of IRGC naval base - logos and signage on a medical center there. And the strike behind the sign is confirmation that at least one other location in that entire compound was hit. Suggesting it was a target of strikes, not an errant hit. 3rd point may also have been hit

Mohammed al Bardawil, a young witness to the attack on medics who we interviewed in Gaza, was killed at the weekend when an Israeli gunboat fired on Rafah beach. His father Saeed asked our colleague Bilal Shbair today for a photo of them together when Bilal interviewed them.

Saeed al Bardawil and his son Mohammad sit beside each other in a tent in Gaza for an interview with The New York Times about the IDF's shooting attack, which they witnessed, that killed 15 medics and first responders in Gaza in March. The pair were going fishing before dawn, a family tradition, when IDF soldiers detained and held them. As the medical convoy approached the area, the soldiers opened fire on it. Mohammad also saw the IDF fire on a UN vehicle that later happened on the scene, killing its driver Kamal Shahtout. Mohammad was reportedly killed by Israeli shelling of Rafah beach in May.

"Gold has been looted from homes, seized at checkpoints or stolen from banks, sometimes by fighters using metal detectors to ferret it out." A recent video showed RSF fighters distributing gold jewelry looted during the paramilitary group’s campaign to seize control of Sudan.

As Declan writes, the mines are so important to the RSF that they are now a military target. Sudan's air force bombed the area last year and again in January, killing civilians, according to news reports. Videos taken after one strike shows people scrambling for safety as a fire blazes nearby.

Around the plant are hundreds if not thousands of artisanal mines as well as larger mechanized digs, which have expanded since March 2023.

In the heart of Africa, and to Sudan's south, is the Al Juneid gold processing plant, patrolled by Rapid Support Forces fighters and with Russian employees stationed behind high walls. Images from Maxar show expanded activity around the plant since the RSF seized it 18 months ago.

Satellite image shows plant with pits, mining equipment and surrounded by small dwellings.

A treat for those who made it to the end. Footage of JFK's motorcade on Lemmon Ave. filmed by Mr. Carpenter earlier in the day.

Malachy Browne @malachy.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

Anyway, just some of the checks we do before running images. By identifying where the video was filmed, the time of day, the Dallas skyline in 1963, we could say the images were legit. Where the photos were taken matched Mr. Carpenter's story, and the reel was also the tech of the day.

Two of the skyscrapers are still standing but obscured by the present day skyline. But float up on Google Maps and track the line of sight back: the location tallies.

So, maybe around here – a slip road to the freeway. This matches another video frame showing the freeway width and the crest of a bridge in the background. Can we confirm? The Dallas skyline in 2024 is nothing like 1963. And did the freeway exist then? Coords: 32°48'07.9"N 96°49'46.0"W

Time: The length of the shadow matches what it should be around that time of day on Nov. 22, 1963, Suncalc tells us. Location: Where on the route was it taken? The angle of sun also helps to narrow that down: most likely this section of the North Stemmon's Freeway. www.suncalc.org#/32.8014,-96...

Go on then. Seeing as @bsky.app is sorta retro and all you open source reporter types moved over here, how about a retro verification? We @nytimes.com were recently sent newly discovered images of JFK in Dallas, 1963. Found on home video between family scenes. How to confirm it's legit?

A behind-the-scenes detail: Finding plans of the dam was tricky. Ukraine wouldn't share them even with U.S. agencies. But one reporter sweet-talked a staffer at the Library of Congress who helped us find an obscure Soviet-era book that we knew contained diagrams.
