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 noodles, as IRMA, the Instant Ramen Manufacturers' Association, was created by the world's instant noodle producers at the World Ramen Summit in Tokyo. Mamofuko Ando, who launched instant ramen in 1958, gave a speech on the Cultural History of Noodles.
Bad Day for Good Samaritans, as a marital row in a village in Vietnam was resolved by a well-wishing neighbour. After helping the couple reconcile their differences, the man drank a bottle of water he found in the kitchen. The water, however, had been spiked with poison at an earlier stage in the domestic argument, when the husband had threatened suicide. The Samaritan died an hour later.
Pugnacious Day for art, as a fist-fight broke out at the Central House of Artists in Moscow after Kazak artists had enraged visiting Germans by slaughtering a sheep and drinking its blood in a performance art display. Kanat Ibragimov, the artist who killed the sheep, defended his actions, saying: "I'm not some sort of primitive. They think they're humanists and don't appreciate our culture."
