"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."
"Sir Keir Starmer has been urged to use the army to respond to an outage that has left thousands of homes without a proper water supply. A major incident was declared on Monday as 30,000 properties in Kent and Sussex were affected by problems with their water supply. South East Water (SEW) blamed the situation, across 11 postcode areas, on Storm Goretti and cold weather causing burst pipes and power cuts."
