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.Buoyant mood: Children were making the most of their freedom yesterday at Parliament Hill Lido in north London. As the last schools closed for the long summer break, children everywhere were heading for the traditional fun spots. And the only cloud on the horizon lay in the elements themselves. Weather forecasters are predicting a rather cloudy day today with occasional outbreaks of rain.
Showers are also expected to put a damper on outdoor activities tomorrow, though there will be some sunny spells to look forward to. But nothing could upset these children yesterday. All that mattered was no school and no homework.
