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.

Even with Hosni Murbarak's departure as president, analysts reckon share prices will fall over the next day or so – as investors assess the new regime – but then stabilise quite quickly. They also expect foreign investors, who own about 23 per cent of equities worth some $7.5bn, not to sell in the hope that the longer-term outlook for the economy will soon pick up.
