Take a moment to scroll back on this page to read about what we’ve been working on today. US President Donald Trump has suggested he’ll send National Guard troops to Chicago - although he hasn’t said how many and when. We’ve looked into what legal powers the president has to do this and the limitations he may face. We’ve dug into the data to see how violent crime in Chicago compares with other US cities and examined how the city’s murder rate has changed over the last decade. As the UN and other aid groups travel by donkey to reach the remote Sudanese settlement swept away by a landslide, we’ve assessed what satellite images and on-the-ground footage can tell us about the extent of the damage and the possible death toll. Plus, we’ve been monitoring satellite images of Gaza to track the destruction of buildings there as a new Israeli offensive intensifies. We’ll be back with more from BBC Verify on Monday morning.

This comparison allowed us to assess the impact of the landslide which appears to have destroyed a group of about seven buildings at the convergence of two channels of mud flow in the village of Tarseen. Pictures posted on social media by the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A) show how this destruction looks on the ground. We can clearly see where the two channels of mud flowed down a steep incline leaving significant amounts of rock and earth at the bottom of the channels where the seven buildings once stood. This area of the Marra Mountains is very hilly and prone to landslides. Through further analysis of satellite images from March 2025 and this week after the rainfall, we have identified two further locations where landslides have occurred. There do not appear to have been any settlements in these areas. UN deputy humanitarian co-ordinator for Sudan Antoine Gérard, told BBC Verify that representatives are still travelling to the Marra Mountains and will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. The village is sufficiently remote that it can only be reached by donkey or on foot. Until then, Gérard says the UN cannot update its previous estimated death toll of 370 people. A further 150 people have been displaced from Tarseen and neighbouring villages as a result of the landslide, according to the International Organization for Migration.

BBC Verify previously geolocated footage of strikes carried out by the IDF to the area on 29 August. BBC Verify also geolocated footage of an explosion which levelled dozens of high-rise buildings as part of a demolition in the adjacent Jabalia area. And in the Tuffah neighbourhood images also appear to show fresh tracks left by armoured vehicles crossing through a cemetery, where more than 3,000 troops killed fighting for the British Empire in World War One are buried. The cemetery has already been heavily damaged by bombardments earlier in the conflict, with a crater left by a previous strike also visible.

We’ve been examining what the figures show about crime in Chicago and how it compares to other US cities. There were about 540 violent crimes recorded per 100,000 people in Chicago in 2024, which is the last full year of data published by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault are all included in the FBI’s measure of violent crime. Chicago’s violent crime rate has roughly halved compared with the years leading up to the Covid pandemic and fell 11% last year from 2023 levels. By comparison, Chicago’s violent crime rate last year ranked near the bottom of US cities with populations larger than 500,000 (29th out of 37 cities), according to FBI data. Detroit, Baltimore and Kansas City had the highest rates with more than 1,500 violent crimes per 100,000 people. In Washington DC last year - the first city Trump has targeted for his crime crackdown - it was 926 per 100,000. However, some crime analysts have cautioned against ranking cities’ crime and murder rates. Jeff Asher, the co-founder of a US-based data analytics firm, told us: “Because of the way different city borders are drawn can make it very challenging to compare and not every agency reports crime data the same way each year”. The FBI also cautions against using its crime statistics to create rankings."},{ "@type":"BlogPosting","@id":"https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ckg6n0gxellt?post=asset:e7c1c3ed-f353-4fe5-b497-4ae4972a7e66","isAccessibleForFree":"true","headline":"What satellite images show about impact of Sudan landslide","publisher":{ "@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","name":"BBC News","url":"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news","logo":{ "@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.files.bbci.co.uk/ws/simorgh-assets/public/news/images/metadata/poster-1024x576.png"}},"author":{ "@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","name":"BBC News","url":"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news","logo":{ "@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.files.bbci.co.uk/ws/simorgh-assets/public/news/images/metadata/poster-1024x576.png"}},"image":"https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/640/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2025/9/5/36829593-8b1e-4bcf-b0a0-3bd678288177.png.webp","datePublished":"2025-09-05T11:29:39.147Z","dateModified":"2025-09-05T12:58:08.000Z","mainEntityOfPage":"https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ckg6n0gxellt","articleBody":"We have been analysing satellite imagery of western Sudan to get a better idea about the impact of a landslide on Sunday. Uncertainty remains over how many people were killed in the remote Marra Mountains of Sudan's Darfur region. The armed group in control of the area, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A), initially said more than 1,000 people died. The United Nations has estimated there were 370 deaths. Sudan’s Ministry of Health has since issued a statement saying it believes only two people were killed. Independently verifying the landslide’s impact and death toll has been made more challenging by the remote location where it happened near to the village of Tarseen. By comparing satellite images taken in March with those captured after the landslide this week, we’ve identified about seven buildings, along with two additional structures without roofs, that were washed away at the convergence of two channels of the mud flow. Two groups of buildings on either side of this settlement appear to have been unaffected. Pictures and videos posted on social media by the SLM/A show that rescue efforts have been concentrated in this area. We have also confirmed an image shared by the armed group showing people gathered around what appears to be freshly dug burial mounds. We have counted about 40 freshly dug areas of soil of a size consistent with a grave. It’s possible that more than one body has been buried under each of these mounds. In a corresponding video, the people gathered around seem to be saying prayers. Using the satellite imagery we can see the spot where these mounds are now located was not disturbed by the landslide, which further suggests this is a burial site dug in the days after it occurred. The scale of this presumed burial site suggests the death toll may be lower than SLM/A’s 1,000 figure, although we can’t confirm whether there are additional gravesites in the area or whether there are more bodies yet to be recovered.

The president’s powers are limited by a 150-year-old law called the Posse Comitatus Act. This says he cannot generally use federal troops for domestic policing and may only do so in “cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress”. This week a federal court in California warned Trump ran the risk of \"creating a national police force with the president as its chief\" as it ruled that the deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles in June after ICE protests was unlawful.

Take a moment to scroll back on this page to read about what we’ve been working on today. US President Donald Trump has suggested he’ll send National Guard troops to Chicago - although he hasn’t said how many and when. We’ve looked into what legal powers the president has to do this and the limitations he may face. We’ve dug into the data to see how violent crime in Chicago compares with other US cities and examined how the city’s murder rate has changed over the last decade. As the UN and other aid groups travel by donkey to reach the remote Sudanese settlement swept away by a landslide, we’ve assessed what satellite images and on-the-ground footage can tell us about the extent of the damage and the possible death toll. Plus, we’ve been monitoring satellite images of Gaza to track the destruction of buildings there as a new Israeli offensive intensifies. We’ll be back with more from BBC Verify on Monday morning.

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) says two of their Ukrainian employees were killed in a strike in the same area. We’ve shown the Russian footage to the DRC and its country director for Ukraine, Julian Zakrzewski, has confirmed it shows their vehicles at the scene as his staff were clearing mines. He went on to describe the strike as a “serious violation of international humanitarian law”. A photograph of the scene shared by Dmytro Bryzhynskyi, head of the Chernihiv City Military Administration, shows the aftermath of the strike. White vehicles can be seen in the foreground andwith black smoke in the background. The logo of the DRC is visible on the bonnet of one of the vehicles.Head of the Chernihiv Regional State Administration Chaus Viacheslav has posted on Facebook that two employees of the Danish Council of Refugees Humanitarian Mining Mission were targeted. ShareHow pictures from Sudan landslide village tally with BBC Verify assessmentpublished at 16:28 BST 5 September16:28 BST 5 Septemberpublished at 23:28 5 September23:28 5 SeptemberPeter Mwai and Thomas CopelandBBC Verify Earlier on today we brought you a comparison of satellite images taken before and after Sunday’s landslide in Sudan's Darfur region. This comparison allowed us to assess the impact of the landslide which appears to have destroyed a group of about seven buildings at the convergence of two channels of mud flow in the village of Tarseen.Pictures posted on social media by the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A) show how this destruction looks on the ground.We can clearly see where the two channels of mud flowed down a steep incline leaving significant amounts of rock and earth at the bottom of the channels where the seven buildings once stood. Image source, Sudan Liberation Movement/ArmyThis area of the Marra Mountains is very hilly and prone to landslides. Through further analysis of satellite images from March 2025 and this week after the rainfall, we have identified two further locations where landslides have occurred. There do not appear to have been any settlements in these areas. UN deputy humanitarian co-ordinator for Sudan Antoine Gérard, told BBC Verify that representatives are still travelling to the Marra Mountains and will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. The village is sufficiently remote that it can only be reached by donkey or on foot. Until then, Gérard says the UN cannot update its previous estimated death toll of 370 people.A further 150 people have been displaced from Tarseen and neighbouring villages as a result of the landslide, according to the International Organization for Migration.

Satellite images show that significant damage has already occurred in Gaza City's Sheikh Radwan, Zeitoun and Tuffah neighbourhoods in recent weeks. The photos show that dozens of buildings in the city were levelled between August and September.In Sheikh Radwan - a neighbourhood located about three kilometres from Gaza City centre - a number of buildings have been wiped away. BBC Verify previously geolocated footage of strikes carried out by the IDF to the area on 29 August.BBC Verify also geolocated footage of an explosion which levelled dozens of high-rise buildings as part of a demolition in the adjacent Jabalia area. And in the Tuffah neighbourhood images also appear to show fresh tracks left by armoured vehicles crossing through a cemetery, where more than 3,000 troops killed fighting for the British Empire in World War One are buried. The cemetery has already been heavily damaged by bombardments earlier in the conflict, with a crater left by a previous strike also visible.In a statement to BBC Verify, the IDF said it was "locating and destroying terror infrastructures embedded, among other things, inside buildings".

The FBI reported a lower number of homicides - 461 last year - which US crime analyst Jeff Asher says is because the CPD has under-reported this type of crime to the federal agency. FBI data also shows Chicago’s homicide rate declining in recent years - although it has fluctuated over the last decade.Last year there were about 17 homicides per 100,000 people - down from about 19 in 2023 and 23 the year before that.

Footage of the detonation was shared on social media by prominent Palestinian X user Younis Tirawi earlier this week.Around 1.5km to the north-east two other smaller groups of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) armoured vehicles can be seen. The image above shows the demolition of nearby buildings has taken place in recent days.The arrival of the IDF vehicles last month coincided with the dismantling of several camps for displaced people in the immediate vicinity. It is not immediately clear from the imagery where the Israeli military has moved on to. ShareHow does violent crime in Chicago compare to other US cities?published at 13:19 BST 5 September13:19 BST 5 Septemberpublished at 20:19 5 September20:19 5 SeptemberLucy GilderBBC Verify journalist As well as examining whether US President Donald Trump is legally allowed to deploy federal troops to Chicago, BBC Verify has also been looking into his claim that the city is a “killing field”. We’ve been examining what the figures show about crime in Chicago and how it compares to other US cities.There were about 540 violent crimes recorded per 100,000 people in Chicago in 2024, which is the last full year of data published by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), external.Homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault are all included in the FBI’s measure of violent crime. Chicago’s violent crime rate has roughly halved compared with the years leading up to the Covid pandemic and fell 11% last year from 2023 levels.By comparison, Chicago’s violent crime rate last year ranked near the bottom of US cities with populations larger than 500,000 (29th out of 37 cities), according to FBI data. Detroit, Baltimore and Kansas City had the highest rates with more than 1,500 violent crimes per 100,000 people.In Washington DC last year - the first city Trump has targeted for his crime crackdown - it was 926 per 100,000.However, some crime analysts have cautioned against ranking cities’ crime and murder rates.Jeff Asher, the co-founder of a US-based data analytics firm, told us: “Because of the way different city borders are drawn can make it very challenging to compare and not every agency reports crime data the same way each year”.The FBI also cautions against using its crime statistics to create rankings. ShareWhat satellite images show about impact of Sudan landslidepublished at 12:29 BST 5 September12:29 BST 5 Septemberpublished at 19:29 5 September19:29 5 SeptemberPeter Mwai and Thomas CopelandBBC Verify We have been analysing satellite imagery of western Sudan to get a better idea about the impact of a landslide on Sunday.Uncertainty remains over how many people were killed in the remote Marra Mountains of Sudan's Darfur region. The armed group in control of the area, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A), initially said more than 1,000 people died. The United Nations has estimated there were 370 deaths.Sudan’s Ministry of Health has since issued a statement, external saying it believes only two people were killed.Independently verifying the landslide’s impact and death toll has been made more challenging by the remote location where it happened near to the village of Tarseen.By comparing satellite images taken in March with those captured after the landslide this week, we’ve identified about seven buildings, along with two additional structures without roofs, that were washed away at the convergence of two channels of the mud flow. Two groups of buildings on either side of this settlement appear to have been unaffected. Pictures and videos posted on social media by the SLM/A show that rescue efforts have been concentrated in this area. We have also confirmed an image shared by the armed group showing people gathered around what appears to be freshly dug burial mounds. We have counted about 40 freshly dug areas of soil of a size consistent with a grave. It’s possible that more than one body has been buried under each of these mounds. In a corresponding video, the people gathered around seem to be saying prayers.Using the satellite imagery we can see the spot where these mounds are now located was not disturbed by the landslide, which further suggests this is a burial site dug in the days after it occurred. The scale of this presumed burial site suggests the death toll may be lower than SLM/A’s 1,000 figure, although we can’t confirm whether there are additional gravesites in the area or whether there are more bodies yet to be recovered.Additional verification by Emma PengellyImage source, Sudan Liberation Movement/Army ShareGet involved with BBC Verifypublished at 12:11 BST 5 September12:11 BST 5 Septemberpublished at 19:11 5 September19:11 5 SeptemberRob CorpBBC Verify Live editor BBC Verify is dedicated to examining the facts and claims behind a story to try to determine whether or not it is true - whether that’s a political statement, a video shared on social media, or images from a war zone.And we’re also keen to hear from you - is there something you think we should investigate?
