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.

A two-year-old boy was in a critical condition today after being attacked by two dogs.

West Yorkshire Police said officers were called to an address in Fairfax Avenue, Drighlington, near Bradford, at around 1.20pm following reports of the toddler being attacked by the animals.

The boy was taken to Leeds General Infirmary.

A woman also suffered non-life-threatening arm injuries in the incident, a police spokeswoman said.

The dogs were detained inside the property but have since been removed, she added.
