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 12-year-old girl's arm, severed by a high-speed train, has been re-attached by surgeons.

Rebecca Huitson was at a level crossing near Newcastle when hit by the Edinburgh to London train on Monday. Her left arm was found nearby and taken to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary, where the operation took place.

She faces further surgery today.
