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 MAN was being held last night in connection with the murders of two prostitutes four years ago.

The body of 20-year-old single mother Samo Paull was found near Swinford, Leicestershire, in December 1993 and 30-year-old Tracy Turner was found dead three months later at nearby Bitteswell. Both women came from the West Midlands and had worked as prostitutes.

Leicestershire police said a 33-year-old man was in custody at a police station in the county after being arrested earlier yesterday, but refused to comment further.
