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.Good Day for mistresses, as a Japanese woman, Mrs Keiko Takada, lost her claim in the Supreme Court in Tokyo for 10 million yen (pounds 60,000) damages against her husband's lover. The court decided that: "It is a legal offence against the wife for a husband to have a physical relationship with another woman only when it violates her right to the maintenance of a peaceful married life."
Bad Day for Unicyclists, as Duncan Castling, from Gateshead, was told he would have to fit an extra wheel to his unicycle if he wanted to take part in the Porelle-Polaris Challenge in Kielder Forest. Lawyers for the sponsors had advised that Section 30 of the Countryside Act only allowed "bicycles" on bridleways. "It's like saying a one-legged man can't use a footpath," Mr Castling said.
