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.Good Day for bank queues, as the bank of China announced that it will give compensation to customers who are kept waiting. Time limits for various types of transaction have been established and the customer will receive one yuan (8p) for each minute over the limit. Current-account transactions are set at two minutes.
Bad Day for broken hearts, as a lovelorn Shanghai man climbed into a tiger's cage, knelt in front of the animal and begged it to eat him. The tiger knocked him over, sniffed his head and bit his neck, but was then sedated with tranquillizers shot by keepers. The man was taken to hospital.
