After an advertisement had been published in The New York Times, Sullivan a Montgomery Police Commissioner, said he had been defamed by false statements about the police conduct. So he decided to sue the New York Time to gain compensation.
The Supreme Court of Alabama blamed the New York times and the latter appealed to the US Supreme Court. The court this time stated that the defamation laws could not be used and that the commissioner could not collect damages because the New York Time did not know that his report was false. New York Time did not have to pay anything and won. Th Supreme Court ruling showed that as long as there was no libel and defamation, the first amendement right was protected.

We worked about the first Amendment which is about the "Freedom of Speech" and we learned that there is no law that abridges the Freedom of Speech. We saw an example with Gregory Lee Johnson. It's an american citizen who burned an American flag in 1989 in front of the Dallas City Hall because he wanted to express a political idea. Because of the Supreme Court allowed this behavior, many people think that it's normal to express an idea whatever the form of expression.

The role of the United States in the Vietnam War began after the world war 2 and escalated into full commitment during the Vietnam war from 1955 to 1975. The United states involvement in South Vietnam stemmed from 20 long years of political and economic action. We learned about how the situation was in the U.S. when it was happening, many people were protesting because it was unacceptable for them to be separated. Because the U.S. was adopting a system that was drafting people to fight in vietna and people did not want the government to draft, or force them into the military. Thousand of protesters began holding antiwar demonstrations. Civil rights groups said the government needed to get out of Vietnam. They said we needed people at home. So the vietnam war was one of the most violent anti-war demonstrations happened during the 1968 Democratic convention in chicago. The violence was seen on tv. The protesters shouted,”The whole world is watching!”

Synthesis code of ethics:

In this document, we found 4 paragraphs explaining the standards to be a "good journalist".
-The journalist must only tell the truth, check the sources of his information and must pay attention to the possible points of view of his information for each one
It can be deduced that the first "norm" to be acquired is to seek the truth and to point it out.
-When the journalist speaks about any information being private, he must show compassion towards the person concerned and must respect it.
It can be deduced that the second "standard"/norm to be acquired is to minimize the harm
-A journalist must provide a very objective report
So we have as third "norm" to have, act independently
-A journalist when he makes a mistake, he should take responsibility and apologize about his mistake
In last "norm" to have, one finds the standard: To be responsible

# data[].attributes.body
We worked on the code of ethics for the journalist. There are  four paragraphs and each one explains one of the "law" they need to respect to be a good journalist.
First paragraph: Seek truth and report it
The journalist should report only the truth, he or she needs to check the source of their information, they need to be careful about the point of vue when they break the news.
The second paragraph: Minimize Harm
When journalists speak about a piece news which has to do with the private life of someone, they need to respect it and have compassion for the person they are speaking about
Third paragraph: Act Independently.
The report of a journalist needs to be very objective. They should accept something, such as a bribe or a promotion,  to change an article.
And the last one: Be accountable and transparent
If one day, a journalist did a mistake, he should take responsibility for it and apologize.

# data[].attributes.body
This document was about the "rules" journalist had to follow in order to make a newspaper that is unbiased and objective, some kind of a guide of the good journalist.

The document is cut in 4 part, the first one talking about "Seeking the truth", saying that sources have to be written, making sure that their only goal is to serve population and not making profit. Their sources have to be checked and if it occurs that their article is wrong, they have to take responsibility.
The second one is about "Minimizing harm" which warn the journalist about form of their text, making sure that nobody gets offended, or at least the less possible. Paying attention to the words they use and tehir public.
In the third one, they talk about the "Independance of the press", saying that they have to avoid any gift and bribe in order to avoid corruption and getting their image dirty.
The last paragraph is about the transparence of the press, making sure that they aknowledge any mistakes, correct them as soon as possible and apologizing for it, taking responsibility of what they post.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Tet Offensive (a major fight during the Vietnam War.  We discussed it in class. Check one of the handouts). This website mentions an exhibit that opened on March 28th, 2018.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On Friday, Jan. 26, 2018, the Newseum will open its latest exhibit, " The Marines and Tet: The Battle That Changed the Vietnam War." The innovative exhibit will feature 20 large-format photographs from the 1968 Tet Offensive and 10 tactile versions of those photographs with touch-activated sensors that provide audio interviews, allowing blind and low-vision visitors to experience the images through touch and sound.The Newseum is the first museum in the United States to host a major tactile exhibit designed to include blind and low-vision visitors. "The Marines and Tet" was developed with generous support from the National Federation of the Blind and Nikon.

"On the 50th anniversary of the Tet Offensive, this exhibit explores a battle that was a major turning point in the Vietnam War through John Olson's powerful photographs and the searing stories of the Marines who fought there," said Cathy Trost, senior vice president of exhibits and programs at the Newseum. "We are excited to present this in an innovative way that offers blind and sighted people new ways to experience history through touch and sound."

The exhibit will feature the work of John Olson, a young photographer with Stars and Stripes who spent three days with the Marines at the 1968 Battle of Huêˊ (pronounced hway), the bloodiest single battle of the Vietnam War. Huêˊ was one of more than 100 cities and villages that North Vietnamese forces struck with a surprise attack on the holiday known as Tet. North Vietnamese forces were ultimately pushed back, but the strength and resolve of the enemy stunned the U.S. military and further eroded support for the war on the homefront. Olson's photographs were featured in Life magazine, and he won the Robert Capa Gold Medal for his work. His image of a tank carrying wounded Marines at the Battle of Huêˊ became one of the most iconic images of the Vietnam War.

"For blind people, living the lives we want includes experiencing works of art and museum exhibits in order to share in the rich history and culture of our nation and the world," said Mark Riccobono, president of the National Federation of the Blind. "We are pleased and proud to sponsor this first-of-its-kind exhibit at the Newseum."

"Photography plays a vital role in chronicling history," said Kosuke Kawaura, director of marketing and planning at Nikon Inc. "Nikon is gratified to continue to support the Newseum and its commitment to outstanding photojournalism, as well as their efforts to make these groundbreaking images accessible to more people than ever before."

"The Marines and Tet" was produced in partnership with Stars and Stripes, which provides news for America's military, and 3DPhotoWorks, which converts images to three-dimensional tactile prints.

The exhibit will also include unique artifacts, including Nikon cameras that Olson used in Vietnam and personal items from the Marines, as well as newspapers and magazines that published Olson's photography. Ten Marines were interviewed for the exhibit, including the battalion and company commanders, some of them revealing their stories publicly for the first time.

Some of the Marines in Olson's photographs have been identified, but others remain nameless. As part of his mission to identify all the men in the photos, Olson has set up www. tet1968.com, a website that allows the public to assist with his research and share their stories of Tet.

On Jan. 25, the Newseum will host a program featuring Olson and Mark Bowden, best-selling author of the book "Huêˊ 1968: A Turning Point of the American War in Vietnam." Joining Olson and Bowden will be Marines from the battle who are the subjects of Olson's gripping images, as well as Mark Riccobono, president of the National Federation of the Blind.

"The Marines and Tet" will be on display at the Newseum through July 8, 2018.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The material of your presentation should be concise, to the point and tell an interesting story. In addition to the obvious things like content and visual aids, the following are just as important as the audience will be subconsciously taking them in:

Your voice - how you say it is as important aswhat you say

Body language - a subject in its own right and something about which much has been written and said. In essence, your body movements express what your attitudes and thoughtsreally are. You might like to check out this web page

Appearance - first impressions influence the audience's attitudes to you. Dress appropriately for the occasion.

As with most personal skills oral communication cannot be taught. Instructors can only point the way. So as always,practice is essential, both to improve your skills generally and also to make the best of each individual presentation you make.

Back to top

Preparation

Prepare the structure of the talk carefully and logically, just as you would for a written report. What are:

the objectives of the talk?

the main points you want to make?

Make a list of these two things as your starting point

Write out the presentation in rough, just like a first draft of a written report. Review the draft. You will find things that are irrelevant or superfluous - delete them. Check the story is consistent and flows smoothly. If there are things you cannot easily express, possibly because of doubt about your understanding, it is better to leave them unsaid.

Never read from a script. It is also unwise to have the talk written out in detail as a prompt sheet - the chances are you will not locate the thing you want to say amongst all the other text. You should know most of what you want to say - if you don't then you should not be giving the talk! So preparecue cards which have key words and phrases (and possibly sketches) on them. Postcards are ideal for this. Don't forget to number the cards in case you drop them.

Remember to mark on your cards the visual aids that go with them so that the right OHP or slide is shown at the right time

Rehearse your presentation - to yourself at first and then in front of some colleagues. The initial rehearsal should consider how the words and the sequence of visual aids go together. How will you make effective use of your visual aids?

Back to top

Making the presentation

Greet the audience (for example, 'Good morning, ladies and gentlemen'), and tell them who you are. Good presentations then follow this formula:

tell the audience what you are going to tell them,

then tell them,

at the end tell them what you have told them.

Keep to the time allowed. If you can, keep it short. It's better to under-run than over-run. As a rule of thumb, allow 2 minutes for each general overhead transparency or Powerpoint slide you use, but longer for any that you want to use for developing specific points. 35mm slides are generally used more sparingly and stay on the screen longer. However, the audience will get bored with something on the screen for more than 5 minutes, especially if you are not actively talking about it. So switch the display off, or replace the slide with some form of 'wallpaper' such as a company logo.

Stick to the plan for the presentation, don't be tempted to digress - you will eat up time and could end up in a dead-end with no escape!

Unless explicitly told not to, leave time for discussion - 5 minutes is sufficient to allow clarification of points. The session chairman may extend this if the questioning becomes interesting.

At the end of your presentation ask if there are any questions - avoid being terse when you do this as the audience may find it intimidating (ie it may come across as any questions? - if there are, it shows you were not paying attention). If questions are slow in coming, you can start things off by asking a question of the audience - so have one prepared.

Back to top

Delivery

Speak clearly. Don't shout or whisper - judge the acoustics of the room.

Don't rush, or talk deliberately slowly. Be natural - although not conversational

Deliberately pause at key points - this has the effect of emphasising the importance of a particular point you are making.

Avoid jokes - always disastrous unless you are a natural expert

To make the presentation interesting, change your delivery, but not to obviously, eg:

Use your hands to emphasise points but don't indulge in to much hand waving. People can, over time, develop irritating habits. Ask colleagues occasionally what they think of your style.

Look at the audience as much as possible, but don't fix on an individual - it can be intimidating. Pitch your presentation towards the back of the audience, especially in larger rooms.

Don't face the display screen behind you and talk to it. Other annoying habits include:

Standing in a position where you obscure the screen. In fact, positively check for anyone in the audience who may be disadvantaged and try to accommodate them.

Muttering over a transparency on the OHP projector plate an not realising that you are blocking the projection of the image. It is preferable to point to the screen than the foil on the OHP (apart from the fact that you will probably dazzle yourself with the brightness of the projector)

Avoid moving about too much. Pacing up and down can unnerve the audience, although some animation is desirable.

Keep an eye on the audience's body language. Know when to stop and also when to cut out a piece of the presentation.

Back to top

Visual Aids

Visual aids significantly improve the interest of a presentation. However, they must be relevant to what you want to say. A careless design or use of a slide can simply get in the way of the presentation. What you use depends on the type of talk you are giving. Here are some possibilities:

Overhead projection transparencies (OHPs)

35mm slides

Computer projection (Powerpoint, applications such as Excel, etc)

Video, and film,

Real objects - either handled from the speaker's bench or passed around

Flip~chart or blackboard - possibly used as a 'scratch-pad' to expand on a point

Keep it simple though - a complex set of hardware can result in confusion for speaker and audience. Make sure you know in advance how to operate equipment and also when you want particular displays to appear. Sometimes a technician will operate the equipment. Arrange beforehand what is to happen and when and what signals you will use. Edit your slides as carefully as your talk - if a slide is superfluous then leave it out. If you need to use a slide twice, duplicate it,

Slides and OHPs should contain the minimum information necessary. To do otherwise risks making the slide unreadable or will divert your audience's attention so that they spend time reading the slide rather than listening to you.

Try to limit words per slide to a maximum of 10. Use a reasonable size font and a typeface which will enlarge well. Typically use a minimum 18pt Times Roman on OHPs, and preferably larger. A guideline is: if you can read the OHP from a distance of 2 metres (without projection) then it's probably OK

Avoid using a diagram prepared for a technical report in your talk. It will be too detailed and difficult to read.

Use colour on your slides but avoid orange and yellow which do not show up very well when projected. For text only, white or yellow on blue is pleasant to look at and easy to read. Books on presentation techniques often have quite detailed advice on the design of slides. If possible consult an expert such as the Audio Visual Centre

Avoid adding to OHPs with a pen during the talk - it's messy and the audience will be fascinated by your shaking hand! On this point, this is another good reason for pointing to the screen when explaining a slide rather than pointing to the OHP transparency.

Room lighting should be considered. Too much light near the screen will make it difficult to see the detail. On the other hand, a completely darkened room can send the audience to sleep. Try to avoid having to keep switching lights on and off, but if you do have to do this, know where the light switches are and how to use them.

Finally ...,

enjoy yourself. The audience will be on your side and want to hear what you have to say!

Hundreds of thousands of people, many of them students, have joined anti-gun protests across America and around the world in one of the largest expressions of popular opposition in years.

The focal point was the March for Our Lives rally in Washington DC, but tens of thousands also turned out in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Minneapolis in demonstrations sparked by the survivors of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on Valentine's Day. Beyond America - where there were about 800 events - there were protests in London, Belfast, Geneva and a number of other cities across the globe.

The marches felt like the culmination of more than a month of political pressure led by the survivors of the massacre in which 17 people were killed - including 14 students - and more than a dozen others injured. There have been some successes in that time, with some gun control measures having been signed into law in Florida, but the main message was that this was the start of something, not the end.

Cameron Kasky, one of the students who lost classmates in the Parkland shooting, told the crowd in Washington: "Welcome to the revolution."

"[This] is the springboard that my generation and all who stand with us will use to jump to a safer future," he said of the call for change. He said that what the students want is action on gun violence, including a federal law banning the sale of assault weapons, a law prohibiting the sale of high-capacity magazines for ammunition and universal background checks for gun sales. "Don't worry, we got this," he added.

In the weeks since the shooting, the Parkland students have re-energised the call for gun law reform and have rejected the mantra of the powerful gun rights lobby spearheaded by the National Rifle Association (NRA) - and a number of the politicians it supports with funds - that control is not needed.

Bringing signs reading "We Are the Change", "No More Silence" and "Keep NRA Money Out Of Politics", protesters packed Pennsylvania Avenue between the Capitol and the White House and cheered every speaker, including Parkland student Emma Gonzalez, the leader of the student organisers, who spent six minutes in silence to illustrate the time it took for the 17 to be killed. Tears streamed down her face as she did so.

The marches across the country attracted a diverse range of protesters, young and old, as well as a cross-section of society no matter race or gender identity. Lisa Valley, 59, had come from Grove City Pennsylvania to attend the Washington DC march and praised the student leaders that had organised the rally.

"The students have inspired me about something I've felt strongly about for a long time... Sensible gun control is a good thing. It's not even something we should think twice about," she said.

Sydney Nadler, 21, came from Ohio. She told The Independent she was one of the 50 students and staff her school, Ohio Wesleyan University, sponsored to attend the event in Washington.

"I find it disturbing how our elected officials are more concerned about receiving finances to be re-elected than those who are electing them."

On stage, there was also a push to show that it is not just school shootings that is the issue, but gun violence as a whole.

Naomi Wadler, 11, led a walk-out at her elementary school in Virginia on 14 March as part of another nationwide action. She told the rally in Washington that she was there to speak up for "the African-American girls whose stories don't make the front page of every national newspaper, whose stories don't lead on the evening news". She ended her speech by quoting Toni Morrison: "If there's a book that you want to read and it hasn't been written yet, you must be the one to write it."

Yolanda Renee King, nine, the granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr, made a surprise appearance and told the crowd: "I have a dream that enough is enough". Seventeen-year-old Edna Chavez from Los Angeles, who lost her brother to gun violence, also gave a powerful speech.

There were celebrities on stage, with Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande in Washington and Amy Schumer in Los Angeles. But others also joined the marches, including Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye West in Washington and Paul McCartney in New York. McCartney told CNN he had a personal stake in gun control as "one of my best friends was shot not far from here", referring to Beatles bandmate John Lennon, who was gunned down in 1980.

Jamie Motley, 18 another marcher in New York is a "budding activist," his aunt Cindy Finch said. He has autism, which makes it hard for him to complete some tasks, like tying his shoes. But, Ms Finch said because he is 18 and has no criminal record, he can go into a store, "act relatively normal" and legally buy an AR-15 in many states. The sale of the weapon, which was used in the Parkland shooting, is why they were there.

Sanjana Jaiswal, 13, who attends Edgemont High School in Scarsdale, New York, said she was marching because "being in a huge group of people who care so much about these incredibly important topics and issues is a wonderful thing for any person".

Justine Ravis, a special education teacher at Castle Hill Middle School in the Bronx, told The Independent, that she wanted to "to show the kids we're proud of them".

Back in Washington, the last time an event attracted so much fanfare was in January 2017, when around 500,000 people gathered in the nation's capital for the Women's March. That march, which took place the day after Donald Trump was inaugurated, was largely viewed as a protest against the new President. Organisers expected a similar number on Saturday, while in New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted that the March of Our Lives rally in the city today drew 175,000 people.

March for Our Lives took place as Mr Trump spent time at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, almost 1,600 km (1,000 miles) away from Washington. While the White House put out a statement "applauding the many courageous young Americans" protesting across the country, Mr Trump himself was silent on Twitter about the rally as it was going on. His predecessor, Barack Obama, tweeted a message of support.

In the wake of the Parkland shooting, Mr Trump had floated several possible ideas to tackle gun violence - including arming teachers. But the President, who has received notable support from the NRA, later appeared to bow to the gun lobby by backing away from loftier gun control bills and his calls for raising the age to buy semi-automatic weapons from 18 to 21.

The students said they are aware change may have to come at the ballot box - on Saturday Senator Marco Rubio, a Republican from Florida commended the Parkland students and their supporters, but added that "many other Americans do not support a gun ban" and called any such move "an infringement on the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens". During the afternoon there were a number of pro-gun rallies in places such as Salt Lake City in Utah, which were attended by thousands of people, but their numbers were small compared to the gun control demonstrations.

Another Parkland survivor, David Hogg, said such attitudes towards gun control may not last long. "We're going to make sure the best people get in our elections to run not as politicians, but as Americans. Because this - this - is not cutting it," he said, pointing at the white-domed Capitol. "We can and we will change the world!"

Wrapping up the Washington rally, Ms Gonzalez made their point clear: "Fight for your lives before it is someone else's job."

Daniel Ellsberg is an American activist, former United States military analyst, and former strategic analyst for the RAND Corporation. Ellsberg was involved in a highly classified study known as the "Pentagon Papers," a study of U.S. political and military involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1967. He became opposed to the war and felt the material in the study needed to be made available to the American people. He released the "Pentagon Papers" to The New York Times and other newspapers. He was charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 along with other charges of theft and conspiracy. Charges were later dismissed after discovering the government had obtained evidence against him illegally.

Mr. Murdoch's papers hid evidence of unlawful activity, according to phone-hacking vicims

Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers deliberately concealed and destroyed evidence of unlawful activity at the the Sun and News of the World to cover up the involvement of senior executives, alleged victims of phone hacking have claimed.

The allegations were made at a high court hearing on Wednesday in the latest stage of phone-hacking proceedings against the Sun and News of the World.

David Sherborne, the barrister representing phone-hacking victims, told the court that the alleged concealment and destruction led to the "purging of evidence of unlawful activity at the News of the World and the Sun, and the involvement or approval of senior executives in the unlawful activities and subsequent cover-up".

He said News Group had made "substantial payments" to former employees and contractors convicted of criminal offences in exchange for confidentiality and not revealing the "scale of the illegality within NGN", while also deleting emails in a targeted way.

Sherborne also accused senior News Group editors, including Rebekah Brooks, Gordon Smart, Dominic Mohan and Victoria Newton, of commissioning private investigators. Brooks is the chief executive of News UK and a previous editor of the Sun and News of the World, while Smart left his role as the Sun's deputy editor last year. Mohan is a former editor of the Sun and Newton is the editor of the Sun on Sunday.

Sherborne made the claims as he pushed for News Group to release more emails and documents. News Group has not admitted to the allegations.

Last month News Group settled 17 new cases of phone hacking and illegally obtaining personal information, including Les Dennis, the footballer Jonathan Woodgate and the Coronation Street actors Samia Ghadie, Kym Marsh and Alan Halsall.

These cases were due to be part of a trial that would have aired allegations of phone hacking at the Sun - which News Group has always denied. The 17 cases were the first tranche of 91 new claims of phone hacking and illegally obtaining personal information against News Group.

Sherborne revealed in court that News Group had now settled more cases, with 58 remaining outstanding, including high-profile individuals such as Sir Elton John. A trial is earmarked for January for a collection of the outstanding cases.

News Group has not admitted to any unlawful behaviour at the Sun as part of the settlements, which are likely to be worth millions of pounds.

The hacking hearing took place as the Competition and Markets Authority starts a six-month investigation into 21st Century Fox's proposed takeover of Sky. Fox is controlled by Rupert Murdoch and his sons, James and Lachlan. The Murdoch family also controls News Corp, the parent company of News Group.

Last week, in a separate case, News Group apologised in court and agreed to pay damages to a former army intelligence officer whose computer and emails were hacked.

News Group admitted that a private investigations firm had hacked the computer of Ian Hurst and that its boss, Jonathan Rees, had then sent intercepted information to the newspaper publisher.

Lawyers for News Group said the company offered its "sincerest and unreserved apologies" to Hurst and his family and accepted "vicarious liability" for the hacking. News Group will pay "substantial" damages to Hurst and cover his legal costs.

Murdoch papers hid evidence of illegality, say phone-hacking victims

Mr. Murdoch, owner of  the Sun, forced to hand over invoices on account of the phone hacking scandal.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The owner of the Sun has been ordered to hand over thousands of invoices relating to the use of private investigators by the newspaper and its former sister title, the News of the World, before a new hacking trial later this year.

Mr Justice Mann made a judgment on Tuesday that News Group, part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, must disclose invoices from between 2000 and 2010 for the use of private investigators that have been found to have connections with phone hacking and unlawfully obtaining personal information. This means News Group will hand over more than 6,000 invoices on its database.

The judge also said that News Group must explain why it has made redactions on hundreds of documents relevant to the hacking case and that laptops used by James Murdoch, the former chairman of News International, should be searched for potentially relevant documents.

The judgments came after lawyers representing alleged victims of phone hacking told the judge that News Group has "consistently failed to provide proper disclosure and to meet its disclosure obligations". This was denied by the company. The claimants have already alleged that senior executives at News Group were involved in authorising the deletion of emails after the hacking scandal escalated in 2010 and want access to more emails written by Rebekah Brooks, the chief executive of News Corp's UK business, James Murdoch, and other senior staff.

The judgments were issued at case management hearing at the high court in London ahead of a trial in October. A collection of 91 individuals have alleged that personal information about them was obtained illegally by News Group, including through phone hacking. Sir Elton John, Gordon Ramsay and David Tennant are among the alleged victims.

News Group has already settled with more than 1,000 people about hacking, but this was related to the News of the World, which was closed in 2011 at the height of the hacking scandal. The company has denied that widespread hacking took place at the Sun.

Before the hearing News Group had released 816 invoices that were determined as relevant to the claimants' case. It also released 1,236 invoices covering two six-month periods in 2002 and 2005. These samples were released after the company was told at an earlier hearing to release all invoices from private investigators linked to phone hacking from two sample periods over the last 10 years, so the claimants could consider whether the disclosure of the relevant documents was fair.

David Sherborne, acting for the claimaints, said that the number of documents in the samples and the fact some of them also appeared relevant to the case showed it was "inexplicable" that News Group had not released more invoices. He added: "It is quite clear the defendant has not disclosed invoices they should have disclosed."

Anthony Hudson, representing News Group, said the claimants were "focusing inappropriately and massively disproportionately on invoices that go nowhere". Hudson told the judge that "enough is enough" in terms of the disclosure requests by the claimants, referring to the "enormous disclosure exercise" that the company has undertaken. In legal documents, News Group added: "Having reached that point, it is evident that the disclosure simply does not bear out the claimants' allegations of widespread voicemail interception at the Sun, whether in relation to particular claimants or generally."

Mann said there was "unfortunate history to this part of the case" because last year News Group had said it did not have any relevant private investigator invoices. He said there was there was no allegation of improper behaviour by News Group and lawyers at Clifford Chance had reviewed the invoices and determined which were relevant. However, he said all invoices relating to the use of private investigators between 2000 and 2010 must be provided by 28 June.

The judge also said that News Group must explain the redactions on around 800 documents within 21 days. The company said the redactions were due to protecting sources and legal privilege, but the claimants disputed this. Mann told News Group: "The clock is definitely striking 13 on this."

The claimants want James Murdoch's laptops to be included in the case "to ensure that all of Mr Murdoch's potentially relevant documents are searched". Murdoch is already an agreed custodian in the case, meaning that both parties agree his electronic documents could be relevant in the case. Lawyers for News Group said it was "far too late" to make new requests about searching documents and that it had already compiled an extensive pool of data from the company and those who work for it.

Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers, the publisher of the Sun and the now-closed News of the World, has apologised in court and agreed to pay damages to a former army intelligence officer whose computer and emails were hacked.

In a hearing at the high court on Friday, News Group admitted that a private investigations firm had hacked the computer of Ian Hurst and that its boss, Jonathan Rees, had then sent intercepted information to the newspaper publisher.

Lawyers for News Group said the company offered its "sincerest and unreserved apologies" to Hurst and his family and accepted "vicarious liability" for the hacking. News Group will pay "substantial" damages to Hurst and cover his legal costs.

Hurst used to serve in the Intelligence Corps and the Force Research Unit in Northern Ireland and his emails included correspondence with members of the Irish republican movement, people in the security services, members of the Northern Irish police and former members of the armed forces who had infiltrated the IRA.

News Group has already settled phone-hacking cases with more than 1,000 people. These were related to the News of the World, which was closed in 2011 at the height of the hacking scandal.

However, Tom Watson, the deputy Labour leader, said the settlement with Hurst regarding computer hacking was "a dramatic new revelation in the saga of criminality in Murdoch's media empire" and called for the Competition and Markets Authority to consider it as evidence as it assesses whether 21st Century Fox, which is controlled by the Murdochs, should be allowed to buy Sky.

"We can now add computer hacking to the long list of criminal activities undertaken by Murdoch's operatives," Watson said. "We know from experience of phone hacking that there won't just be a single victim. So my question to Rupert Murdoch and his subordinates is this: who else was hacked?

"This is yet more evidence that part two of the Leveson inquiry must go ahead to discover the full truth of illegality and cover-ups like this. And it's vital that the CMA is able to take this new evidence of criminality and corporate failure into account as it assesses the Murdochs' bid to take over Sky."

Jeremy Reed, Hurst's counsel, said in court that his client was "increasingly shocked and appalled as he began to discover the extent of the unlawful activity against him" and "genuinely feared for the safety of many of the people with whom he had been in contact". Hurst was also "furious that personal correspondence and private family information had been compromised".

The court heard that Rees had instructed Philip Smith, who was known for his expertise in computer hacking, to target Hurst. Smith used spyware called eBlaster to infiltrate Hurst's computer and allow him to monitor information and correspondence.

Reed said the reason that Hurst had been targeted was "likely to have been because a then, but now former, employee of News Group Newspapers Limited wished to locate the whereabouts of Freddie Scappaticci, the former head of the IRA security division".

Hurst was told by the Metropolitan police that eBlaster was operational on his computer from May to October 2006, but Smith had also obtained some of his account passwords, meaning he could have been monitored for longer, the court was told.

Hurst only found out about the hacking when he was contacted in 2011 by BBC Panorama, which was investigating the activities of Southern Investigations, the firm run by Rees.

Anthony Hudson QC, for News Group, said: "News Group Newspapers accepts that such activity happened, accepts that it should never have happened, and has undertaken to the court that it will never happen again."

The case was between Hurst and News Group, Rees, Smith and Alex Marunchak, a former executive editor of the New of the World. Rees, Smith and Marunchak did not oppose the statement made in court regarding the settlement.

If we search for this video on the Amnesty International tool, we find out the exact date and time that Action Tube uploaded the video, along with four thumbnails to reverse search to find the original source of the video.

None of the results gives us a direct hit on the original source. However, a number of the results on the third thumbnail point to videos that showed this thumbnail on the page at one time. If you click these videos, you may not find this thumbnail, as the results for the "Up next" videos on the right side of a YouTube page are tailored for each user. However, the video with that thumbnail was present at the time when Google saved the results, meaning that you can find this video on the cached page.

Again, none of these five results are the source of the video we are looking for, but when Google cached its snapshot of the page, the thumbnail video for the source was present on these videos' pages. When we viewed the cached page for the first result above, we see the source for the video posted by Action Tube, with the title "Enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Poland Conducts a Road March to Rukla, Lithuania."

We now have all the information we need to track down the original video and verify that the Action Tube video does indeed show a recent deployment of military equipment in Lithuania. After we search the title of the video found in the thumbnail search result, we find six uploads. If we sort them by date, we can find the oldest upload, which served as the source material for Action Tube.

This leads us to a video uploaded on June 18, 2017 - a day before the Action Tube video, of June 19 - uploaded by "Maj Anthony Clas." This is the same video shared by Action Tube.

If we do a simple search on the uploader, we see that he has written articles for the US Army website about NATO activities in Europe, meaning that he is likely a communications official, thus lending additional credence to his upload being the original source for Action Tube.

Creativity Still More Powerful than Algorithms

While reverse-image searching can unearth many fake videos, it is not a perfect solution. For example, the video below, which has over 45,000 views, supposedly shows fighting between Ukrainian soldiers and Russian-backed separatist forces near Svitlodarsk in eastern Ukraine. The title translates to "Battle in the area of the Svitlodarsk Bulge in the Donbas (shot from the perspective of the Ukrainian Armed Forces)." We can see a lot of gunfire and artillery shots, while the soldiers seem to be laughing along with the fighting.

When we enter the video's URL into Amnesty International's tool, we see the exact date and time it was uploaded, along with thumbnails that we can reverse search.

When looking through the results, almost all of them are for around the same time that the video was uploaded, giving the appearance that the video could genuinely show fighting near Svitlodarsk in December 2016.

However, the video is actually from a Russian military training exercise from 2012.

Even the most creative uses of reverse Google image search and Amnesty International's tool will not find this original video in the results, except in articles describing the debunking after the fake videos were spread. For example, if we search the exact title of the original video ("кавказ 2012 учения ночь," meaning "Kavkaz 2012 night training," referring to the Kavkaz 2012 military exercises), along with a screenshot from the video, we only find results for the fake Svitlodarsk video. Knowing that this video was fake required one of two things: a familiarity with the original video, or a keen eye (or ear) telling you that the laughing soldier did not correspond with the supposed battle taking place.

So, what is to be done? There is no easy answer, other than searching creatively.

One of the best ways to do this is to try thinking like the person who shared a potentially fake video. With the example above, the laughing soldier gives you a clue that perhaps this is not real fighting, leading to the question of under what circumstances a Russian-speaking soldier would be filming this incident and laughing.

If you wanted to find a video like this, what would you search for? You would want a video at night probably, so that there would be fewer identifiable details. You would also try looking through footage of spectacular-looking fighting, but not something easily recognizable to Ukrainians or Russians following the war in the Donbas - so, finding videos of exercises from the Russian, Ukrainian or Belarusian army could fit the bill, unless you found war footage from another country and dubbed it with Russian speakers. If you search the Russian phrases for "training exercises" and "night," this video would be the very first result. If you were not able to stumble your way to the original video, the best way to verify this video would have been to contact the person who uploaded it.

Be a Digital Sherlock with An Eye for Detail

Using digital tools to verify materials is inherently limited as algorithms can be fooled. People often use simple tricks to avoid detection from reverse image searches - mirroring a video, changing the color scheme to black and white, zooming in or out and so on. The best way to check for this is an eye for detail to make sure the surroundings in the video are consistent with the incident at hand.

On September 19, 2016, reports came in that the man responsible for three bomb explosions in New York City and New Jersey was arrested in Linden, New Jersey. A few photographs and videos emerged from different sources, including the two below showing the suspect, Ahmad Khan Rahami, on the ground surrounded by police officers.

The exact address in Linden, NJ where he was arrested was not clear, but it was a safe bet that these two photographs were real, considering how they showed roughly the same scene from two perspectives. The video embedded below also emerged from a local citizen. Clearly, the video is real, as it was shared widely on news outlets throughout the day, but how could we have done lightning-fast verification to know it was real in the middle of the breaking news situation?

Checking the address on Google Street View lets us quickly double check that we're on the right track.

A quick glance at Google Maps shows you that Bower Street intersects with East Elizabeth Ave, where the suspect was arrested near the auto repair shop (represented by the yellow star).
