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.

THE LATEST designer accessory is a flower. You've worn the clothes, dabbed on the fragrance, applied the lipstick and the skin cream, worn the jewellery and smoked the cigarettes - from today you can also carry a bouquet bearing the legend Yves Saint Laurent.

To celebrate 10 years of the Saint Laurent fragrance Paris, the French rose experts Meilland have grown a rose in tribute. Called Paris d'Yves Saint Laurent, it will be christened tonight by the traditional method of dabbing it with champagne.

Lucie de la Falaise, the 'face' of the Paris fragrance, will do the dabbing with, hopes the House of Yves Saint Laurent, the reclusive master himself in attendance - 'but we are not sure'. Meilland has in the past created a rose in tribute to that other Saint Laurent devotee, Catherine Deneuve.

Paris d'Yves Saint Laurent will be available from tomorrow from chic, smart and expensive French florists.
