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.

Phnom Penh (Reuter) - At least four British peace- keepers have been taken hostage by Khmer Rouge guerrillas in north-west Kompong Chnnang province, UN sources said yesterday. The men, part of a United Nations observer team in Cambodia were abducted while on a routine maritime naval reconnaissance along the Sen River, the sources said.

An official UN source confirmed the hostage taking and said: 'During the first 24 hours we don't want to attract too much attention.' Another source added: 'There are at least four (peace-keepers).'
