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.

As airlines begin a mammoth effort to get stranded passengers to their destinations after the reopening of European airspace, Skype has promised free wifi access for travelers.

The firm, which allows Skype users to access public wifi hotspots using its Skype Access service, says that internet access will be free in over 100,000 hotspots globally, including airports, from 12:00 GMT on April 21 until 23.59 GMT on Friday, April 23.

Skype Access normally requires users to buy calling credits that can be used to access chargeable hotspots.

All that is needed is a Skype Access-compatible hotspot (see list below) and the latest version of Skype which is available for download at the company's website.
