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.

Typhoon Linda killed at least 313 people when it pounded Vietnam last weekend. More than 2,200 people were still missing or unaccounted for, officials said.

The worst storm to hit the area since 1904, Linda swept into the Gulf of Thailand after crossing the tip of Vietnam, claiming the lives of many fishermen and nine people in Thailand. Cambodian officials said yesterday that the number of fishermen who drowned in Cambodian waters rose to 25 while more than 100 were still missing. - Reuters, Hanoi
