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.

ANKARA (AFP) - Senior British, French, Turkish and US foreign ministry officials opened talks yesterday on extending humanitarian aid to Iraqi Kurds under the 'Provide Comfort' operation. There are only three weeks left before the multinational forces' planned presence on the Turkish side of the border runs out.

Some 1,800 allied forces have been stationed near the border with Iraq since July 1991, in the aftermath of the Gulf war. It is likely that 'Provide Comfort' will be extended for the third time since its inception.
