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.British Airways is to resume flights to Libya in May, the airline announced, 15 months after they were suspended as the country descended into bloodshed.
The decision to reinstate three services a week to the capital, Tripoli, followed a "thorough security review" involving the Government and the new Libyan authorities, it said.
BA chief executive Keith Williams said: "We are delighted to be returning to Libya.
"Our flights to Tripoli have provided a vital economic link for many years, and it is good news for everyone that we can now restart operations."
The airline operated daily flights to and from Tripoli before the successful uprising against Muammar Gaddafi's regime and said it would keep the frequency of services under review.
