Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

More than 90 countries are this weekend participating in the 1997 World Birdwatch.

Events are taking place at Royal Society for the Protection of Birds sites all over Britain. Yesterday, in Battersea Park, children from the South London Montessori School (pictured right with Neil Anderson of the RSPB) received lessons in birdwatching. They were among 23,000 children from 357 schools who were taking part in Schools Birdwatch yesterday.
