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.Roy Keane was missing from the Republic of Ireland squad yesterday as they prepared for Wednesday's friendly with Portugal in Dublin.
The Manchester United midfielder, who was last week made captain for the Republic's three-match American tour next month, failed to turn up for the Mick McCarthy testimonial at Lansdowne Road. McCarthy, the Republic manager, said: "I'm disappointed that Roy has not been in contact with me so far. I'll now have to go looking for him."
Ilie Dumitrescu, the Romanian midfielder, will miss next month's European Championship finals. The West Ham player has a severe muscle strain in his right leg which will need at least two weeks to heal.
