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.

The Scot, whose winning run has justresulted in him replacing the Swiss at No 3 in the world rankings, has taken a wild card into the event whose highly competitive field includes Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick, Mardy Fish and Tomas Berdych.
In Barnstaple, the 2008 Wimbledon junior champion Laura Robson could not follow up her victory over British rival Heather Watson and went out of the Aegon GB Pro-Series tournament, beaten 6-4, 6-4 by Russia's Ekaterina Bychkova, the world No 169.
But the British No 3 Anne Keothavong beat the Swiss Stefanie Voegele 6-3, 7-6 to earn a semi-final with the German top seed Mona Barthel.
