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.A British couple remained in hospital today after being seriously injured in a machete attack in Tobago, the Foreign Office said.
Peter Greene, 65, and his wife Miriam, 59, originally from Reading, Berkshire, were attacked on Saturday afternoon.
They were airlifted to a regional medical centre in Trinidad where they remain.
The couple had been living in the town of Bacolet along Tobago's southern coast on and off for 10 years, Trinidad and Tobago's Newsday newspaper reported.
A Foreign Office spokesman said last night: "We can confirm two British nationals have been hospitalised after the attack in Tobago and we are providing consular assistance."
Tobago police superintendent Nadir Khan said: "It's a matter of serious concern, this is another serious attack on tourists."
He said robbery had not been ruled out as a motive and the attack was similar to the unsolved killing in October of a Swedish couple on the Caribbean island.
Anna Sundsval, 62, and Oke Olsoon, 73, were attacked at their home in the Bon Accord area of Tobago, about seven miles from where Saturday's incident occurred.
One suspect was questioned in connection with the earlier attack but was later released for lack of evidence.
Mr Khan said his department was "working assiduously" on the October case.
But, he said: "We're not getting the kind of response we would like to have from members of the general public coming forward with information."
