It’s the first week of the Islamic month of Ramadan and ‘Happy Fasting’ has been tweeted thousands of times along with #RamadanProblems. Anne-Marie Tomchak is joined by BBC Asian Network’s Murtz to talk about how the Muslim community comes together online to support, pray, learn and laugh. And this week the Trending team puts their investigative hats on to verify some of the images shared on Twitter under #GazaUnderAttack. Anne-Marie asks to what extent we can trust the content shared on social media and whether we, as netizens, should bear any responsibility for the content we upload and share. Anne-Marie Tomchak is joined in the studio by BBC Arabic’s Abdirahim Saeed and BBC Asian Network’s Murtz.
