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.

A man has been rushed to hospital after being hit by a train at Sloane Square Underground Station in London.

His injuries are currently being assessed and a BTP spokesperson said that their extent is still unknown.

The accident is not being treated as suspicious.

Footage of police cars and fire engines parked outside Sloane Square station circulated on social media on Tuesday evening.
