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.

A former minister is to be tried for war crimes

an appeals court in France ordered yesterday. Maurice Papon, 86, is accused of sending Jews from wartime France to their deaths in Nazi extermination camps. Mr Papon, who was the Paris police chief in the 1960s and the budget minister in the 1970s, allegedly ordered the deportation of 1,690 Jews, including 223 children, in 1942-44 when he was secretary-general of Bordeaux.
