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.

A missing French student who only speaks broken English may be too frightened to come forward, police said yesterday. Fanny Paltor, 17, disappeared after leaving a nightclub in Cardiff early on Saturday. The alarm was raised when she failed to return to the Campanile Hotel in Pentwyn, Cardiff, where she works as a waitress. Police were trying to trace five young men who picked her up in their car at around 2.30am on Saturday, although she was seen later in the city centre.

Known as Nina, she arrived in South Wales from her home in Soyaux, west France, on 5 April to work while she studied English. Yesterday Detective Chief Inspector Fred Williams, who is heading the inquiry, said: "Nina may feel scared that she is in trouble for staying away from her work. We are urging her to contact us and reassure us that she is safe."
