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.

As part of a clean-up operation ahead of next Thursday's elections, Algerian authorities are offering rewards for 72 Muslim militants alleged to be leading a bloody insurgency.

The posters went up this week as security forces pursued a major offensive to the south of the capital to rout out insurgents in a stronghold of the Islamic Salvation Army.

The biggest rewards - 45m dinars (pounds 48,000)) - are reserved for commanders of the Islamic Salvation Army and the rival Armed Islamic Group, the most radical group fighting in the five-year-old insurgency. AP - Paris
