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.

Meet Luka the polar bear, the two-year-old is the newest addition to a zoo in Germany.

Luka has been brought to Wuppertal Zoo and will become a playmate to a female polar bear called Anori, who is the same age as him.

He was born in the Netherlands but appears to be adjusting to his new home in Germany. The bear has been spotted swimming about in his new enclosure, carrying a fish in his mouth as he explores.
