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.Barack Obama, the US President, bade farewell to Tanzania, wrapping up his three-country tour of Africa with a game of "Soccket ball" in Dar-es-Salaam. The hi-tech ball, which contains a battery, stores up enough energy during play to power a phone or small lamp.
Mr Obama also laid a wreath for victims of the 1998 bombing at the US Embassy in Tanzania, with the former President George W Bush, who by chance was in Tanzania for a conference on women's roles in Africa.
