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 man has been charged with a fatal attack on a Briton who was beaten up while on holiday in Magaluf, police in the resort said today.

Anthony Charnock, a 44-year-old plumber from Immingham, north-east Lincolnshire, was reportedly hit on the head with a baseball bat during a fight with a number of local men.

He was admitted to hospital on August 29, and died on September 2.

Four people were arrested, one of whom remains in custody and is accused of attacking Mr Charnock, a Majorca police spokeswoman said. The other three have been released.

In a tribute on the Grimsby Telegraph website, his sister Ann Charnock said: "My twin Tony, my side is so empty without you being here. My heart is broken. My arms can't hold you again, but with all the memories and laughter we shared, you will live in my heart forever and ever. Love, your little sis."

The fight in which Mr Charnock was fatally injured took place in the car park of the three-star Fiesta Jungla hotel where he was staying.
