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.

Drivers in Co Durham were among those struggling with icy conditions yesterday, with more sleet and snow expected to hit northern parts of the UK today.

The Met Office has issued a "be prepared" amber warning for the Highlands, Strathclyde, Tayside and south-westScotland. Up to 15cm of snow could fall on high ground, with 1-3cm on low-level inland areas.

Snow is also forecast on high ground in north Wales and northern England.

Tayside Police dealt with several accidents in the Perth and Kinross area where cars left the road in icy conditions.
