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.

Thailand and Cambodia agreed a ceasefire yesterday after a week of clashes that killed at least 15 people and sent more than 60,000 into shelters in South-east Asia's deadliest border dispute in years.

The agreement capped seven days of sporadic artillery and small-rocket fire that fanned nationalist passions in both countries.

Cambodia's defence ministry said the two countries agreed to keep troops in the area, with field commanders holding regular meetings, and to leave their territorial disputes to a joint commission set up a decade ago.
