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.

This photo gallery highlights some of the most compelling images made or published by The Associated Press from Europe and Africa between July 16 and July 22, 2021.

Germany and Belgium experience deadly flooding as London swelters through a heat wave. Lewis Hamilton wins his 8th British Grand Prix, people in Senegal prepare for the Eid al-Adha festival known as Tabaski and a World Nomad Fashion festival takes place in Kyrgyzstan. A protest is held in support of hundreds of migrants on a hunger strike in Brussels, while a small boat filled with newcomers arrives on a beach in England.

The selection was curated by London Photo Editor Anne-Marie Belgrave.
