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.

Jerusalem (AFP) - The stone ossuary of Joseph Caiaphas, the Jewish high priest involved in the interrogation and trial of Jesus, has gone on display for the first time in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The decorated urn was found last year in a family burial cave in southern Jerusalem.

Caiaphas, who served in Jersualem from AD18 to AD36, is credited in the Gospel of St John with telling Jesus: 'It is better for you that one man die for the nation than that the entire nation be lost.'
