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.A baby girl was seriously ill in hospital last night after she was stabbed by a mentally-ill attacker while in her pram in a shopping centre, police said.
Eyewitnesses said the man approached 12-month-old Ashleigh Baker and her mother, Norma Jean, as they shopped at the Bridgeway Centre in the Meadows suburb of Nottingham. The man lashed out with a two-inch kitchen knife, badly cutting the girl's arm and then ran off.
A man was later arrested and the child was taken to the city's Queen's Medical Centre where her condition was "serious but not life-threatening".
