Twitter has labelled a video tweeted by US President Donald Trump as having “manipulated media” for the first time.
The video shows a black child running away from a white child while playing, with a fake CNN caption.
The caption reads: “Terrified toddler runs from racist baby”, before the video accuses CNN of “fake news”.

Twitter’s decision to place a large warning label on the video is the latest escalation in a row between Twitter and the president.
In late May, Twitter added fact-checking verification notices to the president’s tweets for the first time, following up two days later with hiding some tweets behind a warning.
Mr Trump responded by signing an executive order that seeks to curb the long-standing legal protections of social media firms.
