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.While most people would prefer to remain wrapped up inside during the winter months, a group of Royal Marine Reservists have been busy training in sub-zero temperatures in Norway.
Exercise Hairspray focuses on cold weather survival and warfare training for reservists and takes place in the mountains range near to Porsanger Garrison near Lakselv.
As part of the exercise, marines have to plunge into icy water, dig snow holes to camp in, and carry out combat in snowy conditions.
