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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Though the Watch won’t actually go on sale for another two weeks, customers can pre-order online already. And in China, the top-end, luxury Apple Watch Edition has already sold out.
The Edition sells for between £8,000 and £13,500 in the UK.
Thompson, who spotted the fact the watches had sold out, noted that rose gold is still available. The Edition comes in two colours, with yellow gold the other option.
Apple hasn’t said how many of the Edition it has made, but has said that it will be sold in a limited run.
It is still very much on sale in the UK, where all of the eight available models still seem to be available for pre-order. As with Apple’s new strategy, the Watch can only be bought online though it can be seen and tried out in store.
