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 Delta flight which landed at Mumbai airport yesterday evening was searched for suspicious cargo after a warning from airline staff.

The plane from Amsterdam landed at Mumbai's international airport at about 11pm flanked by fire trucks and other emergency vehicles. It was taken to an isolated bay, where it was inspected by bomb squads and airport security, said airport spokesman Manish Kalghatgi.

"Security agencies have cleared the onboard cargo," Mr Kalghatgi said. "They haven't found anything objectionable."
