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.

TWO brothers appeared in court yesterday charged with the murder of a man who died when hit by a high-velocity distress rocket at the Wales World Cup match in Cardiff.

Andrew McAllister, 30, and Kerry Still, 34, were remanded in custody by Cardiff magistrates until 26 November accused of murdering John Hill, 67, of Merthyr Tydfil, Mid Glamorgan, on Wednesday night. The incident happened seconds after the final whistle of the crucial qualifier game which Wales lost 1-2 to Romania.

Mr McAllister, a carpet fitter and father of three, is from Montgomery Road, Wrexham, Clwyd. Mr Still, an electrician, also a father of three, lives in Chester Road, Wrexham.

An inquest on Mr Hill was opened in Cardiff yesterday.
