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 Fifth Element's Luc Besson is writing and directing the film, which is titled Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, and Cara Delevingne, Dane DeHaan and Rihanna have all been cast in lead roles.
Besson has now shared the first shot of DeHaan and Delevingne in their futuristic costumes for the movie - with the promise of more preview pictures to come.
Besson has yet to reveal specific plot details, but Delevingne and DeHaan star as time-travelling, universe-crossing space agents who are dedicated to protecting the human race in the 28th century.
The film's intriguing cast also includes Clive Owen, Ethan Hawke, John Goodman, Blade Runner icon Rutger Hauer and, perhaps most surprisingly, jazz legend Herbie Hancock.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets will hit cinemas in July 2017.
