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.

Kia has taken the wraps of its new small Venga, the design of which was foreshadowed by the No 3 concept car displayed by the Korean company at the Geneva Salon d'Automobile in the spring.

Of course, we won't know exactly how good the Venga is until it goes on sale here early next year, but the auguries are excellent; this new car follows the same "designed and built in Europe for Europe" recipe as the impressive Golf-sized Kia cee'd. All Vengas, whether powered by petrol or diesel, will have stop-start technology and meet the latest tough Euro 5 emissions standards.

The first chance to see the Venga in detail will come at next month's Frankfurt Motor Show.
