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.

A Briton is to appear in court in Malaysia on a charge of kidnapping and murdering a young couple and disposing of their bodies, the Foreign Office said yesterday. If found guilty, Ian Daniel Miller will face the death penalty.

Miller, 46, who has been working in Malaysia for the past year, has been charged along with a Filipino colleague, Rikason Alip Piblani, 34. The two men, who were charged on the island of Labuan, will appear in court for a preliminary hearing today. They are accused of killing Erwin Harina, 26, and Jocelyn Dumpor, a Filipino couple, at a house on Labuan between 19 May and 14 June. Neither man has entered a plea to the charges.
