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 Aston Villa manager Gérard Houllier is expected to be discharged from hospital within the next three or four days, according to a club statement.

The Frenchman was admitted to hospital last Wednesday with chest pain, the cause of which was a dissection of the descending aorta, but his heart is now working perfectly according to Villa's club doctor, Mark Waller.

"I am extremely touched by all the messages I have received," Houllier said. "My condition is improving and extremely encouraging."
