Deepfakes: has the camera always lied?
Date Fake footage is a centuries-old problem that began long before digital technology, according to a Leeds academic. A new research paper, published in the philosophy journal Synthese , argues that deepfakes aren't as unprecedented as they may seem, as photos and videos have been the subject of manipulation for more than a century.

Giant meat-eating dinosaur footprint is largest found in Yorkshire
An almost metre-long footprint made by a giant, meat-eating theropod dinosaur from the Jurassic Period represents the largest of its kind ever found in Yorkshire. Curiously, the unusual footprint appears to capture the moment that the dinosaur rested or crouched down some 166 million years ago. The Yorkshire coast is renowned for producing some visually and scientifically incredible fossils, including thousands of dinosaur footprints.
