Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Last night world leaders attended a lavish dinner following a day of discussion at the G20 summit.

Costumed actors dressed period outfits were part of the evening's entertainment at the Peterhof Palace in St Petersburg, Russia. The dinner itself was held in a luxuriously decorated room.

Host country Russia even had special dishes made for the dinner, the blue plates were decorated with the flags of the 20 nations that make up the group.
