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.

North Korea returned the remains of 17 US servicemen killed in the 1950-53 Korean War, in what it described as a humanitarian gesture to its sworn enemy, Reuter reports from Panmunjom. Colonel Edward O'Dowd accepted the remains during a ceremony at the border village of Panmunjom.

South Korea's Foreign Minister, Han Sung Joo, said that North Korea should consider the US attack on Iraq as a warning of what could happen if it does not clear up suspicions about its nuclear programme.
