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.

Two people were killed in Serbia's troubled province of Kosovo in clashes between ethnic Albanians and Serb police yesterday.

One Serbian policeman and one ethnic Albanian assailant were killed early yesterday in an attack on a Serb police station in the village of Reznic, near Decani, 60 miles west of the province's capital, Pristina.

Heavy police forces sealed off Reznic yesterday and blocked all roads in the vicinity of the village.

The chief of police of the village of Obilic, Bozidar Spasic, who was kidnapped on Wednesday, was released yesterday with light injuries.

The upsurge in violence coincides with the trial of 17 Kosovo Albanians charged with terrorism.
