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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Pakistan's government will reverse an unpopular fuel price rise, Yousuf Raza Gilani, the Prime Minister, said yesterday, in what appeared to be a concession to the opposition in a bid to ease the latest political crisis.
The U-turn was one of several demands made of the Pakistan People's Party by opposition politicians. The government is trying to survive a defection of one of its main coalition partners, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
MQM leader Faisal Subzwari said that while his party appreciated the decision, it would not rejoin the government.
