In this edition of Truth or Fake we turn our attention to a recent Twitter spat over potentially fake photos. Two Dutch personalities have clashed over two versions of a picture, one showing a green and pleasant field in the Netherlands. The other shows the same field but yellowed, allegedly from being sprayed with glyphosate, a weedkiller whose use is controversial because of the health risks it may pose. Journalist Marieke Kuypers helps us decipher which photo, if either, is real.
