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.

Perhaps he should have used his head.

Although it's fair to say that was also the problem for a Chinese boy who managed to get stuck in a stone balustrade.

The incident took place on Sunday when the young Chinese boy got his head stuck outside a building in Hezhang County.

The incident caused a headache for a team of firefighters who were called to the scene of the accident.

They were forced to use hydraulic pliers to widen the gap in the stone balustrade and free him.

The boy, who was unhurt was then tearfully reunited with his grandmother.
