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.

Rescuers searching for three men trapped inside a collapsed warehouse said they had found three bodies in the rubble.

The first body was found around 1.30 p.m. as firefighters dug through an estimated 50 tonnes of debris in an effort to find the men, a Humberside police spokeswoman said. The other two were found around 20 minutes later.

The three workmen were trapped on Monday when a major internal wall collapsed as they worked on the derelict warehouse in Hull, .

Around 25 firefighters had spent the day digging in the rubble, using thermal imaging cameras and sophisticated listening equipment to try to locate the men.
