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.

A Briton, his Filipino partner and their three-year-old daughter are feared to have been killed when Typhoon Haiyan tore through the city of Tacloban.

Colin Bembridge, 61, of Grimsby, is believed to have been staying with Maybelle Go, 35, and their daughter, Victoria, in a beach hut.

Mr Bembridge’s daughter from a previous relationship, Joanne, posted a plea on Facebook for anyone with information on their whereabouts to get in touch with her. “My Dad, Maybelle and Victoria are still missing - please speak to everyone you know to help find them,” she wrote. “They were last seen in a house on BayBay, San Jose, Tacloban, Phillipines - we think near to the Mayors building.”
