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.

Microsoft's Office 365 has broken, leaving people unable to access their email.

The problems have run throughout the day, leaving people unable to work or communicate with colleagues.

People took to social media to complain about intermittent outages which left customers across Europe unable to send or receive emails.

The exact cause of the problem remains unclear, as Microsoft continues to seek a solution.

The trouble has been particularly frustrating for businesses unable to carry out day-to-day communication, with issues emerging as many people started work this morning.

"We're working to resolve difficulties some customers in Europe are experiencing when attempting to access Exchange Online," a Microsoft spokeswoman said.

"Admins can find status updates on the Admin Centre."
