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 Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Watch as Northern Ireland minister Chris Heaton-Harris speaks to MPs on the new Brexit deal on Tuesday (21 March).
He is addressing the parliamentary committee one day after the Democratic Unionist Party said they would not vote in favour of Rishi Sunak’s new Windsor Framework in parliament this week.
Leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said he would continue to work with the government on outstanding “key issues”.
MPs will be given a chance to vote on the so-called “Stormont brake” aspect of the framework on Wednesday.
“The DUP is saying we have continuing concerns, we want to get this right,” Sir Jeffrey said.
“The DUP understands the problems when others ignore them and bury their head in the sand. The DUP is the voice that says this doesn’t work for Northern Ireland.
“At the moment, we believe that what is there is not sufficient to meet the concerns that we have raised.”
