    Maybe some of the mainstream journalists who deem Bellingcat reliable would like to answer Piers' question? I have my own answer, but I'd be interested in hearing what the people who reference our work actually think.

    This is a serious question that all mainstream journalists need to reflect upon. Why do so many in the industry deem Bellingcat to be a reliable information source when its founder conducts himself in this way? …

    Looks like the Panel of Experts on agree with our report on the 2 Aug 18 mortar attack on Hodeidah. They too were unable to confirm responsibility, but noted the munitions used appear to match those made by Rheinmetall Denel, apparently in a Saudi factory

    Bellingcat found no exact match but said mortar bombs by Rheinmetall Denel Munitions (supplies Saudi+UAE) have similar characteristics. Panel also noted consistency w bombs made by Rheinmetall in Germany or SAfrica…

    10. As Rees-Mogg demonstrates, understanding the past requires more than an outdated wardrobe & a drawl. Britain's concentration camps were not a mercy mission: they were an instrument of war that left tens of thousands of civilians dead. We should remember them with shame.[ENDS]

    Jacob Rees-Mogg says that "you've got to understand the history" before condemning the British concentration camps during the Boer War. Unfortunately, he doesn't. So here's a fact-check. [THREAD] 1/10

    So having checked the way-points it looks like this was an error of some kind, unless this jet was doing 7200 mph. That said, a 7200 mph passenger jet would have been pretty fucking cool.

    The Yemen project we're working on at Bellingcat is genuinely one of the most exciting projects I've worked on, and will change the way we work with open source evidence, with implications for the use of open source evidence in justice & accountability, in Yemen and beyond.
