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.

Egypt is to spend pounds 28m on promoting its image in an attempt to win back tourists scared off by Muslim militants and regain pounds 535m in lost revenue, Reuter reports from Abu Simbel. The Tourism Minister, Mamdouh Beltagi, said that the country plans to advise potential visitors against taking Nile cruises, which have been attacked by Muslim militants, and to avoid the militant stronghold of Assiut.
