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 European Union extended sanctions on Zimbabwe for a year yesterday and expressed concern about political violence, but removed 35 people from a list of those affected by asset freezes and visa bans.
An EU review noted progress in addressing Zimbabwe's economic crisis and in delivery of basic social services. But the EU foreign policy chief Baroness Ashton said: "Economic and social developments have not been matched by equivalent progress on the political front." She said further reforms were essential before credible elections.
