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.

HORNBY, the model train maker, has been shunted into the sidings by a slowdown in retail orders and weak sales of children's train sets and its Scalextric range. Reporting a 40 per cent slump in first half profits to pounds 253,000, Hornby blamed the weak UK market for its problems with sales between July and September. The group said retailers are increasingly leaving orders to the last minute to avoid being left with unsold stock.
