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.

Yemen's public prosecutor yesterday questioned two British television journalists who were arrested 10 days ago while investigating a passport and visa fraud by asylum-seekers, writes Charles Richards in London. No charges have been formally laid, and a second hearing is due on Saturday.

According to officials and others familiar with the case, Ray Shillito and Abdullahi Hassan Muhammad, of Adeni origin, entered the country on 29 September on tourist visas, without declaring themselves as journalists. They were arrested on 3 October, after being caught filming. They were working for Clark Television, an independent company, on a documentary for Channel 4.
