From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. 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 Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A member of an Egyptian fact-finding mission says former President Hosni Mubarak watched the uprising against him unfold via a live TV feed, a fact that could lead to the retrial of the 84-year-old ousted leader, already serving a life sentence.
In his trial for the deaths of some 900 protesters, Mubarak, right, denied knowing the size of the protests or that violence was used against them. He was convicted in June of failing to prevent the deaths.
The finding came as part of a 700-page report submitted today to President Mohamed Morsi. Ahmed Ragheb, a commission member, said they also established that security and military forces used live ammunition against protesters, despite repeated denials.
