A BBC Verify investigation reveals a slight increase in asylum seekers housed in UK hotels, contradicting a minister's claim of stable numbers. June 2025 saw 32,059 individuals in hotels, an 8% rise year-on-year. Separately, BBC Verify fact-checked US President Trump's claims about autism rates, finding his figures exaggerated.
