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.

NEW YORK - The chief of Rwanda's foreign ministry said his minister Jean-Marie Ndagijimana should be 'tracked and arrested as a common thief' for disappearing from New York with about dollars 187,000 ( pounds 118,000) earmarked for his country's diplomatic missions in the United States.

'Statements that he is denying theft are totally unacceptable,' Claude Dusaidi, the ministry's director-general, said. Mr Dusai had instructed Mr Ndagijimana to hand over some dollars 187,000 to his UN envoy, Bakuramutsa Manzi. 'He didn't do it. We don't have the money,' said Mr Dusaidi. Reuter
