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.

Libya's Foreign Minister spent last weekend in Paris in apparent defiance of international sanctions against Tripoli amid reports that British and US officials dealing with the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am airliner over Lockerbie, had met the minister, Julian Nundy writes from Paris.

The French Foreign Ministry said early yesterday that Omar el-Muntasser, the minister, had left Paris on Monday. He had no contact with French officials, the Ministry said.
