Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Today: Check into the new Champs-Elysées Mac Mahon, a four-star hotel whose windows frame views of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It's well placed for last-minute shopping and the city's Christmas market (bit.ly/champshot).
This week: 2011 has been the year of the pop-up restaurant, and Milan gets in on the act with The Cube, opening Monday. Award-winning and Michelin-starred chefs will be cooking and diners can also feast on views of the Piazza del Duomo; until 26 April 2012 (electrolux.com). Istanbul gets a new link to the UK from Gatwick on Tuesday (turkishairlines.com)
In the diary: Cathay Pacific is to introduce a premium-economy class on long-haul routes from March 2012. The new class offers priority check-in and boarding, a bigger seat pitch and better luggage allowance, plus champagne and meal selection. Initially, it's only for departures from Hong Kong to Sydney and Toronto, but the plan is to roll out more routes later (cathaypacific.co.uk).
