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 are investigating the murder of a Frenchman and his British wife whose bodies were found in a car boot at the bottom of a canal in eastern France.

Four days before their 2 April disappearance, the couple, both 48, withdrew pounds 65,000 from their bank account in Le Havre, where they lived. Police said the money was missing.

Alain Hay, of Le Havre, and Angela Hay, originally of Portsmouth, had been in the Mulhouse region since February. They had plans to set up a business in Le Havre, importing luxury cars. They were found on Saturday in the boot of a car with German licence plates and had just returned from Switzerland. Police had been searching for them since their two adult children told authorities in April they were missing. AP
