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.

A former Miss Poland was fatally stabbed as she was getting into her car in front of her home in the south-western town of Wroclaw, police said yesterday. Agnieszka Kotlarska, 24, (pictured below), a former Versace model, had narrowly missed death on 17 July when she cancelled her booking for the TWA Flight 800 that crashed off Long Island, New York. She was stabbed three times in the chest on Tuesday by a man who "claimed he had known her for some time and wanted to talk to her", said police. Her husband of four years, whose name was withheld to shield his privacy, tried to protect her and was stabbed in the thigh.

After the attack, Ms Kotlarska was taken to a hospital where she died from loss of blood. Based partly on the husband's testimony, police said they had arrested the attacker, identified only as Jerzy L. During her four years as a Versace model, Ms. Kotlarska lived in the United States and appeared regularly in Vogue magazine. AP - Warsaw
