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.

A 39-year-old woman from Rhyl, Clwyd, has been charged with the abduction of baby Lydia Owens and will appear before Prestatyn magistrates today.

Three men also questioned by police after the kidnap of Lydia from Glam Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan, Clwyd, on Friday, were released without charge.

News of the charge came shortly after Lydia's parents, Christine and Michael Owens, took their six-day-old daughter home from the hospital, where they have been since her recovery on Saturday night.
