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 in the Asia-Pacific region made or published by The Associated Press in the past week.

Dense fog enveloped Delhi, bringing visibility down to zero and severely disrupting air, rail and road transport. Visitors and locals flock to Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach to spend time with families and friends on Christmas Day. More than 1,500 Rohingya refugees fleeing Bangladesh by boat have landed in Indonesia’s northern province.

The selection was curated by AP photo editor Shuji Kajiyama in Tokyo.
