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.TWO STRANGERS who wed in blaze of publicity after winning a "blind- date" competition organised by a local radio station officially announced last night that their marriage was over.
Greg Cordell, 28, and Carla Germaine, 23, met for the first time when they married in a lavish ceremony at Birmingham's Hyatt Regency Hotel in January. The couple were selected to marry after entering a competition organised by the Birmingham-based BRMB radio station. As part of their prize, they won a honeymoon in the Bahamas and the use of a luxury flat and sports car.
In a statement issued after last night's ITV television documentary Two Strangers and a Wedding, the pair said they could no longer live as a married couple, but "we remain close friends and have no regrets".
