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.

Hokitika, New Zealand
If you like your food on the wild side, then don't miss the ninth Wildwoods Festival where all comers are invited to tickle their taste buds with some great gourmet "bushtucker". For starters, the brave might like to try fried locusts, curried worms and snails eggs. This can be followed by a main course of either possum stew, roast kangaroo or some barbecued wallaby. For good measure you can wash it down with a glass of gorse wine, a gumboot milkshake and a few worm slammers. For those in search of new recipe ideas there will be cooking demonstrations from a wide range of experts.

While at the Glaz'art gallery there will be an exhibition of paintings by artists Laura Flavali and Nathalie Jungerman.
Until 20 March
Budapest, Hungary
The Budapest Spring Festival is widely regarded as one of the country's premier cultural events. Every year the festival organisers try to broaden the variety of concerts and shows as they draw on leading artists and ensembles from all over the international music and theatre world.

Today
Birmingham, England
Today is the grand finale of Crufts (above) at Birmingham NEC. This is the greatest dog show in the world, and an event for which many of dogs' best friends go completely potty. Over the previous three days there have been demonstrations of agility, obedience, and plenty of posing and preening. Today, the judges face the herculean task of choosing the Best Gundog, the Best at Agility and Flyball, and ultimately, the highly prestigious Best in Show.
Late admissions are pounds 6.50 for adults and pounds 3.50 for both children and senior citizens.
