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.

Watch live as waves batter Scotland’s Shetland Islands, as Storm Jocelyn’s wind speeds reach 97mph in parts of the UK on Wednesday, 24 January.

Storm Jocelyn has been moving across the UK while many communities continue to deal with the damage and disruption caused by Storm Isha, which left at least two people dead.

In Scotland, many trains on the country’s rail network have been cancelled as gusts reached 74mph, with some routes seeing flooding and debris on tracks, including fallen trees and a shed roof blowing onto a track on Tuesday evening.

Services will remain disrupted throughout Wednesday morning, including during rush hour.

The strongest gust so far, 97mph, was recorded in Capel Curig, north Wales.

Yellow warnings have been issued for large parts of the UK, with warnings for wind covering Scotland, northern England, Yorkshire and some parts of the Midlands.
