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.

France said that it would ask the Zaire authorities to waive the diplomatic immunity of their ambassador to Paris, Ramazani Baya, following his involvement in a fatal road accident 10 days ago.

The ambassador was said to be driving 120km per hour in a 30km zone on 23 November when two adolescent boys were hit and killed in the Riviera resort of Menton. Mr Baya has already left for Kinshasa. Mary Dejevsky - Paris
