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.

MRS M POLAK of London W3 asks why there are no longer direct flights between London and Warsaw: 'The lack of a direct connection is inconvenient for the elderly, disabled people and families with young children.'

British Airways says that last year it wanted to double its daily flights from London to Warsaw from one to two. The Polish government and the national airline, LOT, objected, and from 31 October flights between the cities were suspended.

Discussions are still taking place but there is no immediate prospect of services being resumed. Travellers wishing to fly to Warsaw have no alternative but to go via Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen or Frankfurt.
