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.If there were ever any doubts that Mike Tyson intends to box again, he dispelled them yesterday when he stated his determination to be back in the ring, possibly as early as next year, after having his licence revoked by the Nevada Athletic Commission for biting Evander Holyfield's ears in a World Boxing Association title bout on 28 June.
But the British Boxing Board of Control believes that a year out of the sport would amount to little more than a slap on the wrist.
Simon Block, assistant general secretary of the BBBC, said: "The acid test will be at what stage the Nevada Commission feel able to grant Mike Tyson a licence and I believe that if it is in a year's time there will be a feeling of disappointment around the boxing world.
"This was a major incident in a world heavyweight championship contest and a year out for a professional boxer is not a long time."
