Your support helps us to tell the story

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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

There's more football in One Day in Europe, but here it's an extraneous frame for four separate stories, all of which are set on Champions' League final day, and all of which are variations on the same scenario, ie, a tourist going to the police to report that their luggage has been stolen. First there's an English businesswoman in Moscow, then a German student in Istanbul, then a Hungarian pilgrim in Santiago de Compostela, and finally a French couple in Berlin. It's a fairly amusing and unaffected comedy about how unified the continent has become and how far it still has to go, but by the fourth telling of the story you'll be glad there's not a fifth.
