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.

Navinder Singh Sarao, a 36-year-old former bank worker, has been accused of helping trigger a US stockmarket 'flash crash' from his parents' semi in Hounslow, west London

Sarao is fighting extradition to the US after being arrested at the west London home he shares with his parents. FBI agents are investigating claims that he transferred around £27 million to banks in the Caribbean.

Sarao now faces a possible 380-year prison sentence in the United States if he is convicted of triggering the crash - and if he is extradited by UK authorities.

Watch the video below to find out what people make of the "Hound of Hounslow" and what they make of the possibility of him being given a 380-year prison sentence.
