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.

Although the home team's top two singles players have the edge in rankings – Sofia Arvidsson and Johanna Larsson are Nos 54 and 71 while Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong are 63 and 79 – the British squad have greater strength in depth.
Judy Murray, Britain's captain, has named Heather Watson (115) and Laura Robson (121) for the doubles, though both would also be able singles deputies.
