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.DAVID WEBB, the Brentford manager, said yesterday that he would not be filling the managerial vacancy at Southampton. The former Southampton and Chelsea defender decided to turn his back on a return to Premiership football after talks with the Southampton chairman, Guy Askham.
In a statement, Brentford said: 'David Webb is to stay as Brentford manager and honour his contract which runs to June, 1995.' Brentford received more than 100 faxes from fans in four hours urging Webb to stay.
Alan Ball, the Exeter City manager, also distanced himself from the Dell job yesterday, saying: 'I've said all along that all I want to do is talk to them, hear what is on offer and what the job entails. That doesn't mean I'm on my way.'
Celtic have signed Lee Martin, the 25-year-old Manchester United defender, for a fee likely to be settled by a tribunal. Celtic may have to pay around pounds 500,000. Simon Coleman, the 25-year-old Derby centre-half, has moved to Sheffield Wednesday for pounds 250,000. Rod Wallace, the Leeds United striker, has agreed a new four-year contract.
