Thousands gathered in Trafalgar Square today to protest against Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the government, lockdowns, masks, social distancing guidelines, "forced" vaccines, 5G, trafficking and "new world order". David Icke and Piers Corbyn delivered the keynote speeches
Things got a bit tense at the end of the rally after @MetPoliceEvents said the crowd had "not complied with the conditions of their risk assessment" and attempted to disperse them. At least three protesters and one officer were treated by medical staff, after clashes with police
Some of the placards and signs:
"Hands off our children"
"A hug a day keeps the Covid away"
"Don't blockchain our babies"
"Did anyone see a pandemic"
"Arrest Bill Gates for crimes against humanity"
"No to mandatory vaccinations"
"Wizardz vs lizardz"
"Covid-1984"
"We are the 99%"

THREAD: There have been questions about this video published by Iranian media today, which shows a deadly Israeli strikes on Tehran's Tajrish district on 15 June, with claims that the video is AI-generated and fake.
But the video is real and can be corroborated. Here's why.
First of all, the version that first went viral was very low-res and grainy, and that was the reason for some inconsistencies that could be seen in the footage.
The higher-resolution version, published later, looks more authentic.
But how can we confirm the strike happened?
Multiple videos were published by Iranian social media users on 15 June showing the aftermath of the strike.
The first strike targeted this building (35.805264, 51.435845) on Bahonar Street, just 100 metres from the second impact.
THREAD: New high-res satellite images released by Maxar Technologies on 24 June show new signs of damage at the Fordo nuclear site following an attack by Israel a day after the US bombed the facility.

At Iran's Natanz enrichment facility, two craters right above the undergound buildings housing centrifuges that were visible after US strikes on 22 June have now been covered with dirt.
Before: 22 June
After: 24 June
