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.

FIVE Serbian policemen were wounded in a battle with Albanian separatists who attacked the border village of Ponosevac in south-west Kosovo yesterday. The clash was monitored from across the nearby border in neighbouring Albania by observers from the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Intermittent mortar and heavy machine-gun fire continued for a third straight day in the vicinity of Vojnik, inside the traditional rebel stronghold of Drenica, 25 miles west of Pristina. Three ethnic Albanians were killed and three wounded in Vojnik on Saturday.
