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.

Your support makes all the difference.Alexis Sanchez fired Arsenal up to second with a stunning hat-trick in a thumping 5-1 victory at West Ham.
The Chilean striker made it five goals in his last two appearances to keep Arsene Wenger's side hot on the tail of Premier League leaders Chelsea.
Sanchez also unselfishly set up the first-half opener for Mesut Ozil before striking three times after the break.
Andy Carroll grabbed a consolation upon his return from injury but the struggling Hammers promptly conceded a fourth to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain before Sanchez wrapped up a commanding win.
