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.Footage has been released showing two people being rescued after their 25-foot yacht was stranded on rocks off the coast of Anglesey.
Volunteers from the RNLI" data-wsc-lang="en_GB">Holyhead Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) were called on Sunday afternoon, making their way out to the pair just before 2pm.
A low tide meant the vessel couldn’t be moved immediately, and it had to be temporarily abandoned, but the people on board were brought to safety.
Both appeared to be unharmed.
Video recorded by the RNLI shows the moment they were discovered, with the yacht’s keel wedged up onto a small island, one of the team shouting to ask if they are okay.
The lifeboat team can then be seen returning to the boat that evening, five hours later, once the tide had risen again.
After it eventually became dislodged, the team then tugged it back into the harbour.
