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 hotel

The Mira Moon hotel opens in Wanchai, Hong Kong, on Friday, with design by Marcel Wanders and Grey Goose cocktail chests in the rooms. Doubles from HK$2,288/£183 (miramoonhotel.com).

The flight

The Philippines will be connected to the UK by a direct flight from 4 November, after a hiatus of 15 years. Philippine Airlines will offer five flights per week from Heathrow to Manila (philippineairlines.com).

The event

Families heading off on a half-term holiday this week via Heathrow's five terminals will be treated to a host of Roald Dahl-themed events: storytelling, activity sheets and food offers (heathrow.com).
