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 father helped deliver his baby son after watching childbirth tutorials on YouTube. Marc Stephens said he had to act quickly when his wife Jo went into labour three weeks early, because she had a history of fast births with her previous children.
The 28-year-old Royal Navy engineer did a Google search for "how to deliver a baby", and after viewing a few clips felt ready to help. Mr Stephens, from Redruth, Cornwall, said: "I didn't have time to panic. She started complaining of pain. I went on Google and watched some clips.
"The next thing I knew, she was coming through the bedroom door on all-fours." After delivering baby Gabriel, the family waited for an ambulance to take them to hospital.
