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.A British holidaymaker abducted from a beach resort in Kenya after an armed gang murdered her husband is believed to be in a remote location in southern Somalia, security sources said yesterday.
Police arrested two suspects yesterday in connection with the attack.
Judith Tebbutt, 56, is said to be being passed between gangs in an effort to secure a ransom for her release. She was on holiday with her husband, David, a finance director at the publisher Faber & Faber when attackers raided their beach house last Sunday and shot her husband. They then abducted Mrs Tebbutt, a partially deaf social worker, and sped off by boat.
