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 remains of a British pilot shot down during the Korean War have been handed over, the government said yesterday.
British officials in Panmunjom, in the demilitarised zone, have been given the remains of Desmond Frederick William Hinton. The British embassy in Seoul said they will be sent to an American facility for forensic testing.
North Korea said Britain had asked, at the behest of Mr Hinton's family, for the body be exhumed and given to them.
The airman was shot down in 1952 while on a bombing run.
