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.

Thomas Bosc seemed to have won it for the Catalans with a drop-goal, but Gareth O'Brien, on loan from Warrington, paid off part of his rental fee by squaring it up with a drop-goal as time ran out.
The London Broncos are still bottom of the table without a point, but they at least showed some fight and passion in the first half at Wigan.
With Sam Tomkins (right) in the sin-bin for dissent, the Broncos led 12-10 through a try from Keiron Dixon. Wigan strode away in the second half to win 48-18, but fear that they could be without Lee Mossop for three months with a dislocated shoulder.
Warrington remained unbeaten with a 24-10 win at Hull, after trailing 6-4 at half-time. The Wolves' wingers, Joel Monaghan and Chris Riley, scored two tries apiece.
St Helens' Jonny Lomax went one better at Bradford, with a hat-trick in a 36-10 victory. The regular scrum-half was switched to full-back in the absence of Paul Wellens, who has a calf injury, and adapted to the new role with relish.
He is likely to retain the position on Friday night, when Saints play Leeds, who lost their World Club title to Melbourne with an 18-14 defeat on Friday night.
