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 MUSLIM militant suspected of murdering a British tourist last October was shot dead by police yesterday in the southern city of Assiut, hours after a nail bomb killed seven people in Cairo. The interior ministry said the militant, Sarwat el-Sayyid Mohamed, was killed in a gun battle with police in the Assuit railway station, 200 miles south of Cairo, after being stopped for questioning. One policeman was killed and three injured. - Reuter
