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.

Another icy snap is forecast to sweep the country for the new year, with Scotland again suffering the brunt of the snowy conditions.

New Year's Eve is likely to see temperatures drop as low as -8C in Scotland and -5C in northern England. Even the south of the country will struggle to get above freezing on the first day of 2010. Strathclyde and Tayside were heavily hit yesterday, with snow expected over the North West Highlands, Grampian and Cairngorm Mountains overnight. Freezing fog, rain, sleet and snow were forecast to push northwards over southern areas of Wales and England today.

Northerly and north-easterly winds are expected to sweep in from Wednesday onwards, bringing snow showers everywhere, and especially across northern- and eastern-facing coasts.
