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 photograph has been emerged showing the inside of the flat where the man who killed 84 people in an attack in Nice lived.
Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel ploughed a 19-tonne lorry into a crowd of hundreds of spectators during a Bastille Day fireworks display before he was shot dead by police.
The 31-year old French-Tunisian was known to police for anti-social behaviour, but had not been connected with any terrorist activity and was not known to intelligence services.
The picture that has emerged from neighbours is of a quiet man who did not seem to be especially religious. According to local news outlets, people who lived in the same building said he was notable for not returning greetings from other people.
Bouhlel worked as a delivery driver and had recently split up with his wife, with whom he had three children.
A photograph of a corner of his apartment taken as police searched the address shows a small room with assorted pieces of furniture and a computer monitor.
A second photograph shows the flat’s balcony window and dilapidated shutters.
