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 cross-Channel university that opened this term - a joint endeavour by Kent University and three universities in Lille as well as the Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale - provides exciting opportunities for French and English students.
The cross-Channel university that opened this term - a joint endeavour by Kent University and three universities in Lille as well as the Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale - provides exciting opportunities for French and English students. The latter are particularly parochial in their approach. Fewer and fewer Brits have been signing up for the Erasmus programme, the EU initiative to send European students on exchanges, so anything that encourages the English to be more outward-looking is welcome. Let's hope that Charles Clarke can iron out the teething problems - the French aren't paying fees and courses are still waiting to be validated on the French side. Then we might see the University of the Transmanche really take off.
