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.South Korea agreed yesterday to a North Korean offer of high-level military talks, a breakthrough in the crisis on the peninsula. Hours after Barack Obama and Hu Jintao, the Chinese President, met to discuss the North's nuclear aspirations, Pyongyang bowed to Seoul's demands for talks about two deadly attacks last year.
Washington and Beijing say North-South dialogue is a prerequisite to a resumption of six-party talks involving the two Koreas, the US, China, Japan and Russia. Pyongyang walked out of the aid-for-disarmament talks in 2009, pronouncing them dead.
