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.

The next time you’re in Paris, forget the cozy apartments and charming lofts. Sleep with the sharks instead.

Starting next month, Airbnb will be renting out its first underwater bedroom, which is located in the shark tank at the Aquarium De Paris.

Sleeping on a circular bed encompassed by 360-degree glass walls, guests will be submerged in 3 million litres of water with 35 of the tank's inhabitants.

In addition to the unique surroundings, world record-breaking freediver Fred Buyle will guide visitors on a tour of the aquarium.

But interested guests will have to act fast. The deal is only on offer for three nights in mid-April, and it is only available by entering a contest on the Airbnb’s website. The winners will be flown in from anywhere in the world.
