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.

The Kurdish rebels holding hostage six foreign tourists - four French, one Australian and a Briton - accused the Turkish authorities of hindering their release, AFP reports from Ankara.

The date and place of their release had twice been conveyed to mediators who were supposed to receive them, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) said. Reports that the Australian nurse Tania Miller and British engineer David Rowbotham had been released were denied by the Turkish Interior Ministry.
