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.

Death escapes young lovers ... again

Taipei - First they drove a car off a cliff. Then they tried to hang themselves. In their latest failed suicide bid, two Taiwanese lovers, Huang Pin-jen, 27, and Chang Shu-mei, 26, jumped hand-in-hand from the 12th floor of their hotel, but landed on the roof of a five-story restaurant. They are in a stable condition in hospital. A police spokesman said the couple's parents disapproved of their relationship, but had "agreed to settle their dispute with the young couple". AP
