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.SCIENTISTS in Cambridge have invented an intelligent security camera that will track anyone behaving suspiciously, rather than passively recording people as they go past. The camera, called Yorick, can detect unexpected motion, such as someone running into a bank or out of a government office, because the criteria of expected motion is defined and discounted by the system's software. Yorick can also calculate how fast and in what direction the object is moving and can therefore keep the suspect directly in its sights.
