An image shared on Facebook makes an inaccurate comparison between the financial support which pensioners and 'illegal immigrants' receive. It claims that 'after paying National Insurance for 35 years, UK pensioners receive £6,800 a year' while 'illegal immigrants will receive on average £26,000 a year in unearned benefits'. These figures aren't right. The amount UK pensioners receive in state pension varies depending on a number of factors, but pensioners entitled to the full amount receive significantly more than £6,800 per year.

Russia reported fierce fighting on Sunday on three sections of the front line in Ukraine while Ukraine's president praised his troops for repelling enemy advances and said their counter-offensive was progressing well. The assessments of action along the 1,000-km (600-mile) long front were made a day after an African peace mission wrapped up talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The mission failed to spark enthusiasm from either Moscow or Kyiv. The United Nations, meanwhile, accused Moscow of failing to allow it to provide assistance to Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine affected by the breach of a big power dam that flooded vast areas of land and left thousands homeless.
