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.Three German cities introduced legislation against the most-polluting cars yesterday, barring them from downtown districts marked as environmental zones.
Berlin, Cologne and Hanover require drivers to fix special stickers to their cars showing that they fulfill new exhaust emission standards.
Vehicles like old diesel-engined cars that exceed the limit will be banned. The ban applies seven days a week.
Drivers who ignore the ban will be giving an initial warning and if they ignore it will be fined. The city of Berlin said it would introduce fines of up to 40 (£29) starting in February while Cologne wants to start handing out tickets only in April.
Several other German cities have said they want to introduce similar bans later in the year.
The cities hope that the new initiative will reduce air pollution.
