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.

A leading UK heart surgery centre faces claims of serious failings.

It follows a review of the Oxford Heart Centre at the John Radcliffe Hospital, which came after staff raised concerns over practices.

The standard of management has been in focus and there have been claims that junior doctors lacked proper supervision.

The centre is being sued by the parents of Safeena Begum. The two-year-old from Aylesbury, Bucks died at the unit last year.

A news conference was being held today following publication of the report.
