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.

THE International Civil Aviation Organisation has called for smoking to be banned on all flights by July 1996. In response, United Airlines, which flies from Britain to Europe and the US, is stepping up smoke-free flights. When the winter timetable begins on 30 October, smoking will be banned on most services from Heathrow to New York and Washington DC.

A United spokesman said: 'Customers have on occasion actually cheered announcements that smoking will not be permitted.'
