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 power struggle between the Bosnian Serb army and political leaders intensified as civilian authorities accused the military of seizing a television transmitter. The stand-off stems from the decision of the Bosnian Serb President, Biljana Plavsic, to sack the commander General Ratko Mladic a week ago - a move the army has refused to recognise.

Bosnian Serb media, under the control of civilian authorities, reported that army officers took control of a transmitter on Mount Zep in eastern Bosnia last Tuesday. They said the seizure prevented Serb television based in Pale from reaching parts of Bosnia's Serb republic. Reuter - Han Pijesak
