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.Spy chiefs are to be questioned about snooping activities when they give evidence at a parliamentary committee in public for the first time.
MI6 chief Sir John Sawers, MI5 director general Andrew Parker and GCHQ director Sir Iain Lobban, will appear before the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) next month.
They will “inevitably” be questioned about the classified material leaked by Edward Snowden about UK and US intelligence operations, ISC member Hazel Blears said.
The session on 7 November will be broadcast but with a short time delay to allow anything that “might endanger national security or the safety of those working for the agencies” to be cut.
