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.

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.

A Royal Air Force pilot was killed yesterday when the Buccaneer bomber he was flying crashed into the North Sea, 30 miles off the Fife coast.

Flt Lt James Henderson, 28, married, of 208 Squadron based at RAF Lossiemouth, was a Gulf war veteran. An extensive air and sea search was continuing last night for the Buccaneer's navigator. The crash happened at about 11am when the aircraft was on a training exercise, flying 200ft (61m) above sea level.
