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.

Ferrari has been forced to recall 1,200 of its supercars after reports emerged suggesting that a number of them had overheated and caught fire.

The problem with the £170,000 458 Italia model, Ferrari said, was traced to an adhesive used in the wheel-arch. The company first discovered the problem last month when five owners reported fires in their vehicles.

All of those owners will have their cars replaced, Ferrari said, while others will have their cars modified to solve the problem.
