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 WILL today hand a dossier detailing more than 80 possible massacre sites in Kosovo to Judge Louise Arbour, head of the war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

Ms Arbour will be in London for a meeting with the Foreign Secretary Robin Cook to discuss how Serbs accused of ethnic cleansing and murder can be brought to trial.

The information has been collected by British officials, and some of it will not be made public to protect sources. It will include eye-witness accounts of killings of civilians by Yugoslav servicemen and paramilitaries. Ms Arbour will also be given a list of names of suspects.

The tribunal, based in the Hague, was set up in 1993 to deal with perpetrators of atrocities in Bosnia
