"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."

"A mother has recalled the fear she felt when her son was rushed into surgery at just 10 days old with a tiny heart the size of a walnut. Eddison Watts, from Norwich, was diagnosed with a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot during his mother's pregnancy, where blood would not flow around his body properly. It is one of the most common heart defects affecting approximately one in every 3,600 births in the UK, according to the British Heart Foundation (BHF)."

Eddison required lifesaving open-heart surgery at ten days old because of a large hole and malformed arteries and valves.
