00:05WIĘRUJĘKIEŃ FATCHEKING SHOW THE CUBECUW
00:07WIĘLENCY PIEŘŘPTED IN PARIS FOLOWING PSG'S VIKTORY AGAINST ARSENAL IN THE CHAMPION'S LIEG FINAL 30 MAY,
00:14WHICH SAW THE FRENCH SIDE BEAT THEIR ENGLISH COMPETITORS ON PENALTIES.
00:19HUNDREDS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOLOWING CLASHES BETWEEN FOOTBALL FANS,
00:22WHICH HAVE LEFT SCORES INJURED AND ONE PERSON DEAD.
00:25Ale w ramach realnych zdjęciach,
00:27plenty of fakes have surfaced too,
00:29such as this video,
00:30which many social media users say
00:32shows the Eiffel Tower on fire.
00:34However, if we look at the account
00:36that originally shared the clip,
00:37we can see that he says
00:38the tower is shrouded in smoke
00:40following the start of a fire
00:42on the banks of the River Seine nearby.
00:44He does not say
00:45that the iconic monument
00:46itself is burning,
00:47and there have been
00:48no official police reports
00:49stating that.
00:50Another video circulating widely
00:52shows overturned cars,
00:54street fires
00:55and people smashing up a bus stop.
00:57The caption used a xenophobic language
00:59to allege that immigrants
01:00have destroyed the French capital
01:01over a football match.
01:03However, this video is old
01:05and does not show violence in Paris
01:07following the PSG Arsenal game.
01:09In fact, we've already debunked it once before.
01:11It circulated on social media
01:13in early April this year,
01:15allegedly showing a riot
01:16that had just broken out.
01:18But in reality,
01:19the video dates back to 2022
01:20in the aftermath of a shooting
01:22against Paris's Kurdish community.
01:24Yet another old video
01:26is doing the rounds
01:26with captions saying
01:27that shirtless Sri Lankan men
01:29were smashing coconuts
01:30in the streets of Paris
01:31and making a mess
01:32following the match.
01:33But it actually depicts
01:34the annual Ganesh festival
01:35which falls in August or September
01:37depending on the year
01:38and has been celebrated
01:40by Paris's Tamil community
01:41for around 30 years.
01:43Reports state the participants
01:44and private companies
01:46clean up the streets
01:47following the event.
01:48.
