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.POLICE WERE searching for a 10-year-old boy last night who is thought to be Britain's youngest fugitive. He failed to answer a summons to appear before magistrates in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
He was due to appear at the youth court accused of assault, attempted robbery and possession of an offensive weapon. Police said: "The magistrates have issued a warrant for the arrest of this 10-year-old ... the search will extend to other parts of Britain and abroad if necessary."
An 11-year-old has become one of the youngest people in Britain to be put on the Sex Offenders' Register after he admitted a sex attack on a two-year-old girl. The boy, from Edinburgh, pleaded guilty to one charge of indecent assault. He carried out the assault at a house in the Gateshead area of Tyneside in August.
