"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."

"Britons are preparing to face more snow on Thursday as an amber weather warning comes into force for parts of the country. The Met Office has warned that rural communities could be cut off as gusty winds hit, creating occasional blizzard conditions, with the possibility of lightning a further hazard. Up to 25cm of snow is expected to settle on high ground, particularly across the North York Moors as the forecaster warned some could face significant travel disruption and potential power cuts."
