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.

Baggio, who signed for Brescia on Thursday, made a bright debut but is clearly short of match fitness and he was substituted in the 67th minute.
The Juventus defender Ciro Ferrara was sent off for a foul in the 85th minute and four minutes later his team-mate Edgar Davids and Brescia's Andres Yllana were dismissed after they clashed off the ball. Then Brescia's substitute Simone Del Nero was sent off for a second bookable offence.
In Spain, Raul missed a penalty with two minutes left as Real Madrid drew 3-3 at Malaga in a thrilling league match on Saturday. Real, 3-1 down, had fought back with late goals from Albert Celades and Guti. Barcelona were beaten 3-1 by Athletic Bilbao in a scrappy game that saw both teams finish with 10 men.
In France, the league leaders Bastia suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Stade Rennes on Saturday but retained top spot from Lens, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Paris St-Germain.
