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.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

NEW YORK (Reuter) - A lawyer for the actress Mia Farrow dropped a bombshell in court yesterday, charging that Ms Farrow's ex-lover Woody Allen had sex with Ms Farrow's adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, in front of her seven-year-old sister, who is at the centre of their child custody dispute.

The allegation came during a two-hour Manhattan Supreme Court hearing on Allen's request to visit the younger adopted daughter, Dylan. Connecticut state police are already investigating allegations that Allen sexually molested Dylan. He has strongly denied any misconduct.

Allen also wants the right to see his adopted son Moses, 14, and biological son, Satchel, 5. After the hearing, he said the allegation was 'too insane to think about it. You must be joking'.
