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 schizophrenic who had escaped diagnosis for nearly a year killed a neighbour in a knife attack, an Old Bailey court heard yesterday.
Tolga Kurter, 20, was sent to Rampton high security hospital indefinitely after admitting manslaughter while suffering from diminished responsibility. His plea of not guilty to murder was accepted by the court.
While suffering from "bizarre delusions", Kurter had stabbed Nicholas Boyd, a taxi driver, near their homes in north London in April this year - believing his victim was another man.
