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.Two teenagers have been praised after they handed a briefcase containing £5,000 in cash to police after finding it in a bus station.
Will Miles and Ryan McClory, both 17, opened the case to find a large sum of money in £50 notes. Will told the Bath Chronicle: "We were a bit shocked when we saw all the money in the case. We didn't know exactly how much it was but we could tell it was a large amount.
"We knew someone would be missing it and so decided to take it to the police station," said Will from Upper Swainswick, near Bath.
As well as the cash, the case also contained passports, used air tickets and letters from the University of Bath. It has now been reunited with its owner, who had withdrawn the money to pay his son's university fees.
