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.

Your support makes all the difference.A 15-year-old boy appeared in court yesterday accused of murdering headmaster Philip Lawrence, who died last month after being stabbed as he went to the aid of a pupil being attacked outside his school in Maida Vale, north-west London.
The boy, who lives in Camden, north London, is further charged with conspiring with persons unknown to wound a schoolboy with the intention of causing grievous bodily harm. He was remanded into local authority secure accommodation and will appear again before Camden Youth Court on Tuesday.
