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.

Spanish police are investigating the death of a US student in Barcelona but say so far do not suspect foul play.

A spokeswoman said yesterday that Crispin Scott was found dead onSaturday in an apartment in Barcelona suburb. She said he had gone out on Friday night in Barcelona but apparently had later left the city with some others.

She said an investigation was under way but could give no more details.

Scott, of Seattle, Washington, was a student of Dartmouth College, New Hampshire. He was abroad on a programme run by Portland State University.

The US embassy in Madrid said it was in contact with the student's family and police.
