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.

Braintree Trading Standards is investigating the case after a mother complained that she had found a toy in the yoghurt section of Muller's Kids Corner.
Muller has withdrawn the yoghurt from sale although it stresses that no changes occurred because of the complaint.
The Environmental Health Officer in Braintree complained to Muller on 5 September that an inkstamp toy had been found in the yoghurt rather than the separate section. The company launched an investigation and later the toy was replaced by a troll.
"While Muller Kids Corner yoghurts have been very popular production ceased last month to make way for two new Muller children's yoghurts - Yogz Crunchz and Yogz Budblasterz," said a spokeswoman. "It is factually incorrect to suggest production changes occurred in response to a complaint that has yet to be resolved." There have been three recorded deaths in the past 10 years of children who have choked on toys packaged in with food.
