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.Parts of Britain woke up this morning in the grip of a big chill brought on by an Arctic weather front. The country was bracing itself for more sleet and snow today and tomorrow after temperatures plunged to -4 C across the UK last night.
The Met Office issued severe weather warnings for much of the country today with sleet and snow expected almost everywhere except in the South-west and Northern Ireland. Rain could cause icy patches on roads today, and the AA warned drivers to take extra time over their journeys and to pack equipment such as food, spades and clothing in case they become stranded.
