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.The reinterment of Richard III looks likely to be delayed after a key decision over the construction of his tomb was put off.
Richard’s remains, dug up under a council car park in Leicester, are due to be reinterred at the city’s cathedral, although a legal challenge by distant descendants who want him buried in York is going through the courts.
Proposals by the cathedral to accommodate the tomb could have seen Richard laid to rest next summer. But the Cathedral Fabrics Commission, which must rubber-stamp a plan to rebuild part of the cathedral to house the king’s tomb, has deferred its response pending a court ruling.
