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.

Yasushi Akashi, a senior UN official, has formally advised against air strikes on Serbian or Croatian positions in Bosnia after consultations with UN commanders on the ground, Michael Sheridan reports from Geneva.

Mr Akashi's report to the UN Secretary-General ruled out air strikes on Serbian positions near Sarajevo because of confusion on the battlefield. It said they could not guarantee the opening of Tuzla airport.
