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.

PRAGUE (Reuter) - The prime ministers of Czechoslovakia's two divided parts said they had agreed on how to split the country peacefully. Vaclav Klaus, the Czech leader, and Vladimir Meciar, his Slovak counterpart, said they would ask parliament to pass a law to wind up the Czechoslovak federation by 30 September. They proposed a customs union and free-trade zone with free movement of labour, money and capital but could not agree on a single currency.
