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.

Holidaymakers are heading for an Indian summer, with bookings to the subcontinent soaring, according to tour companies. Inspirations has seen India bookings for next winter rise 33 per cent, with the west coast resort of Goa doing particularly well.

And holiday company Unijet is doubling its Goa capacity in its winter 1997-98 brochures, which go on sale next Wednesday.

Inspirations marketing director Francis Torrilla said: "The response to Indian holidays has been incredible, especially to Goa."

Unijet has decided to expand its India programme because of the demand. For the first time, the company is bringing out a standalone India and Sri Lanka brochure. The company's prices to Goa start at pounds 399 for seven nights, while Inspirations' Indian prices begin at pounds 405 for seven nights in Kerala.
