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 UK ticket holder who won £46.4m on the EuroMillions draw has claimed their prize, Camelot said yesterday.

Just one ticket matched all seven numbers to take the jackpot of £46,432,285.20. The winning numbers were: 03, 07, 12, 26 and 34. The lucky stars were 08 and 10.

A National Lottery spokeswoman said a claim had been staked for the jackpot prize and, subject to validation, it could be paid out when the banks open on Monday. She said: "It's unbelievable that we have had a third huge EuroMillions win here in the UK."
