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.

The find X5 is the latest premium Android handset from the Chinese tech brand Oppo. The company is keen to emphasise the phone’s low-light video recording capabilities, and there’s HDR and Dolby Audio included too. The cameras are powered by Oppo’s own chip, called the MariSilicon X, and the phone itself runs on a Snapdragon 888 chip by Qualcomm.
There’s a 4,800mAh battery that Oppo claims can maintain peak performance for up to 1,600 charge cycles – a stat the company says is double that of most phones. An 80W charging system also promises to deliver a full charge from zero to 100 per cent in 34 minutes.
The bundle of Oppo gadgets includes an AirVOOC 50W wireless charger that doubles as a phone stand and has a retail price of £69.99. Customers who pre-order the dind X5 also receive a tough aramid fibre case worth £44.99 and an Oppo Watch – which doubles as a health, fitness and sleep tracker – worth £89.
Finally, the most valuable item included is a pair of Oppo Enco X wireless, noise-cancelling earphones worth £169. Available in black or white, they have up to four hours of battery life with active noise cancelling enabled. This is increased to 20 hours when topped up with the included charging case.
The phone goes on sale in the UK on 24 March. But before then it can be pre-ordered through O2, Vodafone, EE, Sky Mobile, Virgin Media and Amazon, as well as from Oppo itself.
