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.

Three British holidaymakers reported missing off Sardinia have been found, the Foreign Office said.

The alarm was raised when the tourists failed to return to their campsite last night after setting out to sea on a canoeing trip off the Italian island's southern coast.

It is thought that the Britons - two women and a man said to be in their 40s and from North Wales and northern England - spent the night on a smaller island before returning to shore this morning.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "They have been found safe and well."

Falmouth Coastguard in Cornwall helped the Italian authorities obtain contact details for the Britons' families.
