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.

Four coaches of a train derailed today near Virginia Water railway station in Surrey.

The coaches of the South West Trains 0821 service from Weybridge to Staines remained upright, but British Transport Police said three people were slightly injured. Several were treated for shock.

South West trains between Reading and Waterloo were cancelled after the derailment.

The incident occurred on the same stretch of track where last week a 60mph train ran into a bus stranded on a level crossing.
