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.BRITISH POLICE have uncovered the biggest mass grave they have so far found in Kosovo. They found 50 bodies buried in a rubbish dump in Ljubidza, the Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, said yesterday.
"We are ... exhuming and documenting those bodies," Mr Cook said after a meeting in London with Hashim Thaci, a Kosovo Liberation Army commander. The discovery brings the number of bodies found by British forces and police in Kosovo to more than 200 in the past two months.
In Ljubidza, Abedin Ademi, a farmer, who stressed he was relaying hearsay information, said: "The Serbs dug a hole and put Albanians in it ... and dropped in a grenade ... They buried those who were killed and those who were injured even if they were still alive ... everybody knows that is how it happened."
