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 10-year-old girl was being interviewed by specially trained police after disappearing for 48 hours with her family's lodger.

Ann-Marie Radbourne was reunited with her mother Alison at their home in Paignton, Devon, after being spotted near Exeter yesterday with 51- year-old Paul Husbands by two Ministry of Defence policemen.

They were walking by the side of the road about half a mile from Devon and Cornwall Police headquarters.

Mr Husbands was arrested on suspicion of abducting Ann-Marie, and was being questioned at Torquay police station.

Ann-Marie, and Mr Husbands, who had been lodging with the family for two months, vanished after saying they were setting out for a coastal walk at 11.30am on Sunday.
