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.

Police are trying to trace a one-year-old infant and their family, who are believed to have travelled to Scotland after going missing in Wales.

Leanca Rostas, 34 and Marcel Rostas, 35, and their one-year-old Matie were last seen at the University Hospital of Wales more than a week ago.

They were spotted at the Cardiff hospital at about midnight on February 16.

Police investigations have since established the family travelled to Scotland, and they are believed to be in the Glenrothes area of Fife.

Police Scotland are assisting colleagues from South Wales Police, who are increasingly concerned about the family, with anyone with information about them urged to get in touch.
