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.

Commuters using the London Underground's Central line have been hit with severe disruption after services on some parts of the line have been suspended due to a faulty track.

There is currently no service between Marble Arch and White City while TfL fix the track at Shepherds Bush.

The rest of the line is experiencing severe delays due to a signal failure at Leystone.

Around 1,000 passengers have been affected by the faulty track, a TfL spokesman said. He added that the fault is being dealt with and should be cleared shortly.

Tickets are currently being accepted on London Buses, TfL Rail, Abellio Greater Anglia, Chiltern Railways, Great Western Railways, DLR and London Overground.
