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 Crown Prosecution Service is reported to have reopened the inquiry into the Hillsborough disaster in which 96 football fans were killed, according to today's Daily Mirror.

The paper says it has obtained clear video footage from a security camera at the Sheffield ground which, at the time of the inquiry into the tragedy, was said not to have been of good enough quality to be of significance.

The CPS could not be contacted for a comment last night but was reported as saying the "nature and volume" of the new evidence had forced it to reopen the inquiry.
