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.Britain and Argentina separately marked the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War yesterday amid renewed tension between the two countries over the fate of the South Atlantic islands, as veterans and islanders gathered by the sea in Stanley, pictured.
The leaders of both nations used the anniversary to reaffirm their claims to the remote archipelago, as relatives of those who died in the conflict attended memorial services. Speaking at a rally in the southern city of Ushuaia, Argentina's President, Cristina Fernandez, attacked Britain for its "ridiculous and absurd stance" on the islands, and urged it to concede sovereignty of "Las Malvinas". A series of rallies were held across Argentina to back the calls.
David Cameron had earlier paid tribute to the soldiers who died in the conflict, and said Britain played a role in "righting a profound wrong".
