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.

Today: Aim high in London. At the Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge, a "secret garden" has transformed the rooftop pool area with wild lavender, birch trees, a lawn, Green & Spring beauty treatments and picnic baskets; until September (the-berkeley.co.uk). Meanwhile, in East London, iconic Italian films are being screened on top of the Queen of Hoxton tonight and tomorrow night (disaronnofacebook.com/filmseries).

This week: Amanresorts opens its newest address in Turkey. Amanruya opens in Bodrum on Monday, with 36 stylish cottages, each with a private pool and garden (amanresorts.com). Meanwhile, culinary capital Copenhagen celebrates its gastronomic credentials with a food festival, which starts on Friday, until 28 August (copenhagencooking.com).

In the diary: Vietnam will become easier to reach this winter, with new Vietnam Airlines flights from Gatwick. And now rail travel in Vietnam can now be booked in the UK. See internationalrail.com
