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.

n Manila - The Foreign Minister, Roberto Romulo, resigned in tears yesterday because of the furore over the execution on 17 March of a Filipina maid, Flor Contemplacion, in Singapore, Reuter reports.

He hoped his resignation would calm the intense row over the hanging of the woman, who allegedly confessed to murdering another Filipina maid and a four-year-old Singaporean boy. Singapore ignored impassioned appeals for a stay of execution.

A Philippines inquiry said it had evidence that Contemplacion could have been forced to confess.
