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 bodyguard of Diana, Princess of Wales who was badly injured in the car crash that killed her is working again, it was reported last night.

Trevor Rees-Jones even hoped to play rugby again soon, according to newspaper reports. Mr Rees-Jones, the only survivor of the Paris crash that killed Diana, Dodi Fayed and chauffeur Henri Paul, is doing "light duties" four days a week with the security team at his employers Harrods, the newspaper said.

The 29-year-old has told managers he is determined to return to full time work protecting VIPs, and planned to play rugby again for his home town team of Oswestry, Shropshire, by the start of next season in September, it added.

Mr Rees-Jones suffered severe head and chest injuries in the crash, which happened last August.
