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.

ARussian woman was shot and killed and a bus used by Russian soldiers attacked yesterday, the day after an Italian businessman was shot in an apparent escalation of violence aimed at foreigners, AP reports from Algiers.

Larissa Ayadi was shot in Diar el-Afia, a southern suburb of Algiers. She was married to an Algerian and had lived for several years in the country. Following the shooting, France announced it was taking steps to protect its nationals in Algeria. A militant Muslim organisation, the Armed Islamic Group, threatened last month to begin killing foreigners who stayed in Algeria after 30 November.
