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.Good Day for corpses, as Abdel-Sattar Abdel-Salam Badawi awoke from a coma in the city of Menoufia, Egypt, and found himself in a coffin in the hospital morgue. According to a local newspaper report, an employee dropped dead on the spot when he climbed out of his coffin. "His body was left in the refrigerator as I hurriedly left," Badawi said.
Bad Day for a car thief, as a man was arrested in Egypt after being seen breaking into a car, driving it "a few kilometres", then pulling out the stereo and walking away. Investigations revealed the man to be a professional car stereo thief who had taken it up since he went blind through drinking cheap liquor two years ago.
Proud Day for koalas, as a survey identified them as one of Australia's most valuable assets, with koala-generated tourism worth more than pounds 500m a year.
