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.

Charlotte Church has announced that she has lost her unborn baby.

The singer, 31, said on Twitter that she and her partner Jonathan Powell were grieving their loss.

She wrote: “1 of 2 Charlotte and Jonny are very sad to announce that they lost their baby.

“Now is a time for grieving and being together as a family.”

A second message read: “2 of 2 We kindly ask everyone to respect that peace.”

Church had announced earlier this year she was expecting her third child.

It was thought the baby was due in November.

The star is already a mother to nine-year-old Ruby and Dexter, eight, from her previous relationship with Gavin Henson.

They parted company in 2010.
