BBC News Reality Check

Pictures and video from previous disasters in other countries have been shared by people on social media with claims that they show the current destruction caused by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.

One tweet - from a verified Twitter user - claimed to show a nuclear plant exploding in Turkey. It got more than 1.2 million views.

Reality Check ran the images through a search engine to see if they had appeared online before.

This revealed that they were actually from the aftermath of the Beirut explosion in August 2020.

They've labelled the claim in the tweet 'false' - you can see more examples in this piece.

Education Secretary Gillian Keegan told Sky News earlier that “40% of classroom teachers this year will be receiving up to 15.9% rise".

This figure combines the School Teachers' Review Body's increase and also pay progression.

Teacher pay increases in England, which came into effect in September 2022, varied, with less experienced teachers getting larger percentage increases.

The pay band for qualified teachers with the least experience is M1. They will see their pay go up 15.9% as they move up to the next band M2 in 2022-23 (outside London) which you would expect to happen to almost all of them after their first year.

This group of teachers makes up about 6% of classroom teachers in England.

Looking at experienced teachers, on the other hand, who make up more than half of all classroom teachers, are much less likely to receive a pay progression increase.

About 40% of experienced teachers are expected to move up a pay band this year and they will be getting a 9% or 10% rise.

So the Education Secretary is correct, but the “up to 15.9%” does some heavy lifting.

Asked at PMQs about failures in the probation service - which were highlighted in a report into the murder of Zara Aleena - Rishi Sunak pointed to an “increase in the number of senior probation officers”.

As of September 2022 – the latest data available – there were 1,309 senior probation officers in England and Wales. This was an increase of 85 on the previous year and more than double the number seen in 2015.

In total, there were 18,366 full-time staff members - with different levels of experience - working in the probation service. This has increased in recent years, but so have the numbers leaving.

In the year to September 2022, over 2,100 people had left the probation service. There were almost 2,000 probation officer posts unfilled.
