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.

England 1-0 Italy
38' - Raheem Sterling leads an England breakaway before threading Ashley Young in on goal. However, the Manchester United man's first-time shot deflects behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.
England should really have made more of that attack.
Half-time - England 1-0 Italy
The referee brings the opening period to a close and England lead at the break through Jamie Vardy's first-half strike!
It's all over in Budapest and Alex McLeish has his first win since returning as Scotland manager!
England 1-0 Italy
51' - It's been a fairly pedestrian start to this second half from both sides. England look neat in possession but they've not produced a meaningful attack since the interval.
England 1-0 Italy
53' - James Tarkowski is having an England debut to remember. The Burnley defender has done everything asked of him defensively and his distribution has been superb as well.
