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.

Naked truth too much to bare

The Commonwealth Games organisers are angry about reports of athletes going naked in the corridors of their apartment blocks at the Games village. "We can't allow such indecency," an official of Sukom 98, the Games organisers, said. "Though we are one big happy family in the village, we can't be too open in certain things. I don't think we are being unreasonable in asking everybody to keep a modicum of modesty." The reports claimed that athletes from the Welsh team had been seen naked on several occasions. Some 6,000 athletes and officials from 70 countries are expected to be in Kuala Lumpur for the Games which open on Friday.
