"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"The government has suffered a small rebellion in the House of Commons over a deal concerning the Chagos Islands. The government has been urged to pause a deal which would hand Mauritius sovereignty of the Islands. It comes after Donald Trump's comments on his Truth Social platform which criticised the deal, saying the UK was doing it for no reason whatsoever. The US President's criticisms come as legislation to finalise the agreement is caught in a wrangle between the Lords and the Commons."

Ministers say the deal provides a legal basis for Diego Garcia after international court rulings threatened the base's future.
