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.

Essa Rashed was runner-up in 1:02:28 while Morocco's Abderrahime Bouramdane was third in 1:03:57. "The last part of the race was a bit windy and I was almost crying going up that hill which was very tough," Gebrselassie said after his half-marathon win.
