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.

A young bank clerk has disappeared from her job in Kabul along with more than $1m.

An international arrest warrant has been issued for her and at least nine alleged accomplices. Shokofa Salehi, 22, worked in the money transfer division at the headquarters of Azizi Bank, a major lender in Kabul. She disappeared around two months ago, the chief executive Inayatullah Fazli said, suspected of transferring $1.1m (£700,000) out of the bank’s coffers to the accounts of relatives.

It is thought she used fake documents to reach India after transferring the money; her current whereabouts are unknown.
