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 a bull, which had drifted downstream on flood tides last summer, and was left stranded in the heavily mined demilitarised zone separating North from South Korea. An emergency operation has now been launched by the South Koreans to provide food and veterinary assistance for the bull. It has also been suggested that the North Koreans might like to provide a cow to keep it company.

Bad Day for driving on thin ice, as an unnamed motorist in Denmark sank four vehicles trying to cross a frozen fjord. When his car went through the ice at Augustenborg fjord, he climbed from the shallow water and returned in a four-wheeled-drive vehicle to try to drag his car out. But that sank too, so he came back with a tractor. Which sank. Then another tractor. It took the national rescue service seven hours to drag all four vehicles back on to dry land.
