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.

Drivers who use bus lanes illegally will be trapped

by cameras mounted on buses in London. The Department of Transport is spending pounds 750,000 on 15 bus-mounted and 10 roadside cameras which will be installed in various parts of north London.

The cameras will photograph number plates and a computer will check the registration against a list of numbers used by buses before fixed-penalty fines ranging between pounds 20 and pounds 40 are sent out. The installation of the cameras follows a successful six-month pilot scheme during which warning letters were sent to offenders. Christian Wolmar
