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 body of another Briton has been found in Oman, bringing the number of people who drowned in flash floods in the Gulf Arab state to eight. This brings the number of Britons drowned in the flood on Friday to five, the British Embassy in Muscat said. The fifth Briton has not been named. The four already known to have been killed were Andrew Deller, from Sussex, William Love from Glasgow, Karin Salt, who lived in Oman, and Julian Whippey.
Geraldine Power, from Ireland, was also among those who drowned last Friday. An earlier report that a Dutch woman was among the victims was incorrect, said the spokesman. Two US airmen, Captain Scott Swanson, of Minnesota, and Senior Airman Zane R May, of Arkansas, were also killed in the flood when it hit a group of walkers. Reuter - Muscat
