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.

AT THE scene of the attack on a refugee convoy in Kosovo last week, Robert Fisk collected pieces of debris bearing serial numbers which could help to identify the attacker.

At yesterday's Nato briefing in Brussels, military spokesman General Giuseppe Marani was asked: "In ... instances reported in the Independent, the fragments of ordnance bear serial numbers which are intact ... Can you confirm that Nato's accounting procedures allow a particular piece of ordnance to be matched to a particular mission and if not, how far can you narrow it down?"

Gen Marani replied: "We can narrow down ... to which batch. But as to the relevancy of knowing which batch, debris can be carried around."
