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.Colombia coach Jose Pekerman says that he hopes Radamel Falcao "rediscovers his confidence" during the international break.
Falcao's Colombia take on Peru this evening, and then Uruguay next Tuesday.
The striker has failed to hit the ground running since joining Chelsea in the summer, scoring one goal in eight appearances in all competitions, and making just two starts.
"Falcao is coming to play 90 minutes after a lot of time at his club [Chelsea] having few opportunities, 15 or 20 minutes, in games that are in development; and that's cost him not having continuity," he said.
"We all know his capabilities, and I see he still has the will to fight, to reverse the situation, with that spirit of wanting to reach his best performance and we have expectations.
"We need that rebellion and that ability to want to fight, and if so we have hope he recovers his best form and we can take it into account.
"We always have the hope that he rediscovers his confidence. He always deserves to be called up."
