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.

Your support makes all the difference.Liverpool are set to make an approach for Porto wonderkid Ruben Neves, according to reports.
The Mirror have reported that the Reds have made an informal enquiry for the player, and while it was made before Jurgen Klopp took over at Anfield, the report adds that there are suggestions that Klopp has given the move his blessing.
The 18-year-old Neves has already broken into the Porto team, making 37 appearances last season and is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in world football. He has yet to represent Portugal at senior international level.
Upon joining Liverpool last week, Klopp said that he wants the final say on all transfers.
The German, whose passion for the club made owners Fenway Sports Group choose him over Carlo Ancelotti for the post, is happy to work with Liverpool’s infamous transfer committee having operated under a similar structure at Borussia Dortmund.
“The only thing I need is players that want to help the team,” he said. “They have to listen to what I say, that is very important, because I believe it is better to have 11 players do the same thing wrong than everybody doing what they want. We have to do it one way and that way is my way.”
