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.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z had quite the eventful Paris concert, as part of their On the Run II tour.

Former first lady Michelle Obama was spotted right next to the stage during the show, dancing alongside Tina Knowles-Lawson, Beyoncé's mother.

She attended with her two daughters, 17-year-old Sasha and 20-year-old Malia, though Barack Obama was not present, as he is travelling to Africa for an Obama Foundation conference.

The Obamas and Carters have a long-lasting friendship: Beyoncé sang “At Last” at the 2008 Inauguration Ball, while also singing the national anthem at the 2013 Inauguration Ceremony.

French fans were also treated to a special pre-show broadcast of the World Cup final, which saw France beat Croatia 4-2, their second-ever win of the tournament.
