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.The Channel tunnel's pounds 24m Eurostar train ran into more difficulties yesterday when it was forced to switch tracks in the tunnel. The hitch, the fourth embarrassing breakdown, was caused by signalling problems rather than a fault on the 186mph train, which had 400 guests on board.
The train, travelling from Waterloo to Brussels, first had to slow down in the tunnel and then stopped before diverting across the service tunnel and on to the UK-bound track.
