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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Miranda Hart appeared in a Red Nose Day segment which saw her take on a different challenge every day for the last month.
The idea was spawned from her book Miranda’s Daily Dose of Such Fun!, which offers 365 ideas of small activities that can help brighten up each day, while also helping to spread joy to others.

However, the undeniable highlight of Hart’s challenges was to read Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice with a special guest: Colin Firth, who played Mr Darcy in the 1995 BBC series. As she insisted, she “definitely did not try to kiss Colin Firth”.
The bit was only one of many highlights of the evening, including parodies of Bodyguard and Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again.
