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 threat of industrial action by agency staff hired to cover for those striking comes amid claims of bullying and harassment. Unite claimed a growing number of agency staff are refusing to cross the picket lines of striking bin workers in Birmingham due to unsustainable workloads and a bullying workplace culture at the council's refuse department."
