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.The UK video games lobby has again called for industry tax breaks after Square Enix, which publishes the Lara Croft series, chose to open a new studio in Canada rather than Britain.
Richard Wilson, the head of Tiga, said the decision "confirms once again that Canada's tax breaks are attracting investment and generated jobs".
Square Enix, which bought UK group Eidos in 2009, is to open the new studio in Montreal. Gareth Edmondson, chief executive of Thumbstar Games, said the decision was "a blow for the UK and European games industry" and called for a domestic tax break.
The ninth instalment of the Tomb Raider series will be released next year.
