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 teenagers started London's worst residential fire for at least 10 years - making 95 families homeless and causing pounds 2m damage to a block of flats, an Old Bailey court was told yesterday.
Police and fire crews arrived at Golf Links estate in Southall, west Londonto find a major fire spreading and flames spiralling 40 feet into the air. Terrified residents were calling for help from the upper floors, but although the block had to be completely evacuated there were no fatalities and injuries were minor, the court was told. Alan Atkinson, 15 and Pardip Khambey, 16, both from west London, deny arson on 15 November last year.
