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 doctor recognised the patient on a casualty department stretcher as a robber who had held him up at knifepoint, a court was told yesterday. Dr James Moore remembered the face of Karl Telemaque, 21, who had robbed him at a nightclub five months earlier.
The doctor rang police from Cardiff Royal Infirmary while another medic treated the man for his injuries. He then pointed him out when officers arrived. Telemaque, of Ely, Cardiff, who was wanted for a string of other crimes, was jailed for six years at Cardiff Crown Court.
