Stories from around the world

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.

A PLEASANTON mother will have to write a letter of apology to three newspapers for allowing a stripper to perform for teenage girls at her home. The party was dubbed a "Girls' Night Out", hosted by the woman's 15-year-old daughter. The judge said that some of the blame did fall on many of the girls who attended the party. None of the victims' parents attended the sentencing hearing and only two wrote their opinions in letters. The mother said she is sorry and that it was her daughter who hired the stripper.

DELHI IS convulsed under a spate of violent crimes. The other day four members of a family, including two children, were brutally killed at their Nangloi home; a campus feud ended with the murder of a student and another student's father; 10,000,000 rupees were looted from a bank in Faridabad; an industrialist's son was shot at in Gurgaon after a protection-money demand was ignored; and two school-bound children were forced into a van and driven away in south-west Delhi, apparently by their estranged father.
