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.

This year, GCSE and A-level examination papers set by Edexcel will be fitted with a tracking device so that any thieves can be caught. The box in which the papers are stored will also be fitted with a timing device to ensure that it doesn't open before the morning of the exam in question. In case all of this fails, a humidity detector will be fitted to the box to show whether it has been opened by someone while it was stored in the school safe. All in all, it seems that 2007 will not be a good year for any student or teacher attempting to cheat.
