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.Thai rescue teams who have retrieved 102 bodies from the Royal Plaza Hotel gave up hope of finding more survivors yesterday, four days after the six-storey hotel collapsed, Reuter reports from Nakhon Ratchasima.
Police and rescue workers said they were still struggling to extricate at least 20 bodies from the concrete and steel remains of the first- class hotel. A woman whose legs were amputated at the site so she could be pulled from under a beam was in good condition in hospital, but the last survivor found, whose crushed legs were later amputated, was in critical condition.
