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.

BEIRUT - Lebanon's first post-war traffic lights started operating yesterday, as authorities began trying to bring order to the country's traffic chaos, Reuter reports.

The Interior Minister, Beshara Merhej, switched on the single set of lights in the mountain town of Alley. They were the first to operate in more than 15 years. Lebanon's network of traffic lights was knocked out in the early months of the 1975-90 civil war.
