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.

Air traffic will be halted this evening at all Paris airports following warnings that a strong storm is heading towards the region, the French civil aviation authority said.

All air traffic in the area will be cancelled from 8.00 p.m. on Monday until 10.00 a.m. on Tuesday (1900-0900 GMT), it said in a statement.

The French weather office has warned that much of northern France will be battered by winds in excess of 100 kmh (60 mph) overnight, with some gusts expected to reach 140 km (87 mph).
