"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.

"The government remains committed to advancing the Chagos Islands deal despite Donald Trump's latest U-turn on his previous support for the agreement, a government minister has said.
