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.Low-profile diplomatic efforts were continuing yesterday to resolve the spying row between Britain and Russia, writes John Lichfield.
In the absence of the Russian Foreign Minister, Yevgeny Primakov, out of town for the Victory Day national holiday, the UK ambassador, Sir Andrew Wood, saw other senior officials in Moscow.
Britain is still hoping to persuade the Kremlin to reverse the original decision to expel up to nine British diplomats. British sources said they were neither pessimistic nor optimistic.
