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.IRA terrorist suspect Roisin McAliskey was yesterday granted bail by a High Court judge to enable her to be transferred to a specialist National Health Service mother and baby unit.
Ms McAliskey, 25, who gave birth to a daughter, Loinnir, a week ago at the Whittington hospital in north London, was granted bail at an earlier High Court hearing allowing her to be taken to the hospital from Holloway prison where she was awaiting extradition proceedings to Germany where the authorities want to question her over a mortar bomb attack on a British Army base last summer.
Ms McAliskey's solicitor, Gareth Peirce, said outside the court yesterday: "She has been granted bail to go to a specialist NHS mother and baby unit and that is all we can say."
