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.

Fans of this Japanese mafia series will be thankful that it has finally made it to theUK.At the start of this latest chapter, the game’s star has decided to move away from his violent past and run an orphanage, but guess what? The quiet life doesn’t last very long. For the uninitiated, Yakuza 3 is a strange mix between Grand Theft Auto – given its open-world setting – and a beat-’em-up, although that doesn’t really do it justice. Certain quirks, such as English subtitles, will mean that it’s not for everyone, but its idiosyncrasies are mostly charming.
