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 Bangladeshi girl separated this week from her conjoined twin sister was talking and behaving normally yesterday after waking from a medically induced coma.
Trishna is doing well and has left intensive care, said Wirginia Maixner, director of neurosurgery at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Her sister, Krishna, was due to be brought out of the coma later.
Krishna will have a longer period of adjustment as the separation brought more changes to her body and brain. MRI scans on Wednesday showed no signs of brain injury. The twins, who were joined at the head, will be three next month.
