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.

THE BROADCASTER Sheena McDonald has undergone plastic surgery to her face after being knocked unconscious by a police van on an emergency call nine days ago, it emerged yesterday.

A spokeswoman for University College Hospital, London, said: "She had plastic surgery to her face on Friday and recovered well from the anaesthetic. She remains in intensive care but her condition is stable and she is improving."

Ms McDonald, 44, received serious head injuries in the accident in Islington, north London.

Police declined to comment yesterday on reports that the police van was travelling on the wrong side of the road. It was claimed that it pulled out and overtook a line of stationary cars queued at a red traffic light.

A 27-year-old police constable has been suspended from driving duty and an investigation launched as routine.
