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.

Search teams looking for a missing yacht with three Cambridge University students on board said today they had spotted more wreckage.

A lifeboat, the Hook of Holland, has been sent from a Dutch port to investigate the sighting in the North Sea.

A spokesman from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said there was still no definite link between the wreckage and the missing yacht Tuila.

"This area is a very busy shipping lane and there can be all sorts of garbage in the water, but it would be unfair not to investigate all sightings," he said
