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.

Kia has released the first official photos of its second-generation Sportage SUV. The new car will be launched at the Geneva Motor Show next month and go on sale in the UK later this year.

Kia is extending and renewing its range at a remarkable rate. In the last year, it has introduced two completely new model lines, the Soul and Venga people carriers, and introduced a completely new version of its large Sorento 4x4. A series of improvements and styling changes were also made to the Golf-sized cee'd. The latest Sportage is a much sleeker looking affair than the outgoing model, and if Kia's rapidly improving form is anything to go by, it should be better to drive, as well. The new car will be available with a choice of petrol and diesel engines and the company says that a longer wheelbase should make for better ride comfort as well.
