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.

Frank Bruno, the former heavyweight boxer, was fighting to save his marriage yesterday after his wife Laura reportedly won a court order banning him from assaulting her.

Laura, 34, is said to have secured the High Court order after what friends described as a "series of violent outbursts".

The Sun newspaper reported that a judge granted a "non-molestation" order banning Bruno, 36, from "assaulting, molesting or harassing" his wife.

Yesterday Henri Brandman, the family's lawyer, said in an statement approved by them: "Frank and Laura are still very much in love. They are trying desperately hard to resolve some difficulties that have arisen in their marriage, particularly with the welfare of their children in mind.

"No separation or divorce proceedings have been instituted or are contemplated."
