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.

Saturday’s Premier League fixtures:
Bournemouth 2-1 West Brom
Huddersfield 0-2 Crystal Palace
Stoke 1-2 Everton
Liverpool 17:30 Watford
36' - Watford's Roberto Pereyra picks Richarlison out in the box with a good cross but the Brazilian directs his header straight at Loris Karius in the Liverpool goal.
That's the visitors' first shot of the match.
39' - Great save!
Mo Salah leads a Liverpool counter-attack before picking out Roberto Firmino on the edge of the area. The Reds' No9 chops past Miguel Britos and onto his left foot before drilling a shot at goal. Orestis Karnezis is alert to it though and tips the ball behind for a corner.
GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Watford (Salah, 43)
Mo Salah bags again as he converts from close range after a wonderful cross by left-back Andy Robertson.
Game over already? Given how little threat Watford have offered in the first half, you'd have to think so.
Half-time - Liverpool 2-0 Watford
The referee brings an end to the opening period and Liverpool lead at the break courtesy of a Mo Salah brace.
GOAL! Liverpool 3-0 Watford (Firmino, 49)
Lovely, lovely goal.
Liverpool's Mo Salah skips past Miguel Britos before crossing for Roberto Firmino, who produces a delicate flick to turn the ball past Orestis Karnezis and into the far corner!
