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.

Russia gets pounds 500m in credits

The Prime Minister, Tony Blair, announced yesterday that Britain would grant Russia a further pounds 500m of export credits in recognition of Britain's increased confidence in Russia's economic achievements. The credits, which will be available to British capital exporters trading with Russian public and private sectors, follow pounds 250m of credits announced in December 1996.
