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.Hosni Mubarak was confirmed as President of Egypt for six more years yesterday, after winning 96.3 per cent of valid votes in a referendum in which he was the only candidate, Reuter reports from Cairo.
'I will do all I can to improve the level of income of the simple citizen in this country,' Mr Mubarak said after the result. But he avoided committing himself to reform of the constitution and allowing Egyptians to choose between a number of candidates for president in a direct vote.
