Your support helps us to tell the story

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 men and a woman were killed and a man was seriously injured last night when a private helicopter plunged into a mountain gully 1,000ft up Moel Goch in north Wales and burst into flames.

Paramedics in an RAF Wessex helicopter were flown to the scene 10 miles south of Colwyn Bay. The injured man, who suffered leg injuries, was flown to Glan Clwyd Hospital. Firefighters and a mountain rescue team had to walk to the spot because it was so inaccessible.
