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.

This Moluccan cockatoo called Peaches has one memorised though, and gives what sounds like an avant garde one parrot performance of a Tennessee Williams play every single day.
According to Elaine Sigmon of North Carolina, Peaches previously belonged to a couple who divorced, and obviously they spent a lot of time arguing as she can recite a good chunk of verbal back-and-forth, dramatically spreading her wings and moving her head.
"We had Peaches for several days when one afternoon she began ranting and raving as if blessing someone out," Sigmon told The Huffington Post.
"My husband, Don, was sitting in the chair near her perch and she began to aggressively point her head toward him just like someone pointing their finger while arguing ... We're not sure what she is saying, but she is really giving her opinion."
