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.

The body of a teenage crewman has been found in a harbour, police said today.

The 17-year-old was last seen shortly before midnight on Sunday in Newlyn, Cornwall.

The teenager, from the Channel Islands, was a crewman on a boat moored in the town's harbour.

He returned to the harbour on Sunday after a night out but had not been seen since.

Air and sea searches by the police and coastguard had been carried out in the hunt.

A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said the teenager was found in the harbour.

"The body was recovered by police divers," the spokesman said. "Next of kin has been informed."

HM Coastguard and the police helicopter were also involved in the search.
