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.

Mass killer Rose West starts appeal proceedings against her 10 murder convictions later this month.

Her solicitor today said the appeal application was ready to be submitted.

She is serving life for the murders of the young women at the notorious 25 Cromwell Street address in Gloucester, that she shared with her husband Fred.

He killed himself on New Year's Day 1995, while in jail awaiting trial.

She has always blamed him for the killings.

Leo Goatley, her solicitor, said her application to the Cases Review Commission, which examines alleged miscarriages of justice, was prepared.
