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.An Australian woman was rescued after spending a week wedged between her toilet door and the bowl.
A Queensland state government spokesman said the 67-year-old was taken to hospital suffering from dehydration following her ordeal in the eastern city of Ipswich.
It ended on Sunday when firefighters removed the inward-opening toilet door from its hinges.
The woman was not seriously ill.
The woman, who has not been named, fell in the early hours of Sunday and somehow became trapped between the toilet bowl and the inward-opening door.
A neighbour heard her cries for help on Sunday morning and called police.
