Unfortunately, Arenstorf has withdrawn his paper which claimed to prove the Twin Prime conjecture, but the BBC is reporting that Louis De Branges has claimed to have proved the Riemann hypothesis.

The same [proof]? or a new one?

De Branges has often claimed to have proved the Riemann hypothesis before. However, he did play an important role in the proof of the Bieberbach conjecture, so there is at least the possibility that this is a correct proof.

I am not completely convinced that it is useful for the mainstream (non-mathematical) media to report such things so credulously. It is quite likely that De Branges is wrong, and therefore it might have been better to hold the story until other mathematicians had actually read his new preprints.
