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.Britain's government says it's re-establishing contact with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
Britain ceased contact with members of Hezbollah in 2005. The UK listed Hezbollah's military wing as a proscribed terrorist organization last year.
But Britain's Foreign Office said on today that it has reconsidered its position following political developments in Lebanon.
Britain's ambassador attended a meeting in January in Beirut alongside a Hezbollah lawmaker, the ministry says.
The Foreign Office says it is seeking to build relations with other legislators attached to the group.
