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.

David Cameron stopped to pay tribute to Britain's war dead today as he arrived in France for the G8 summit.

The Prime Minister laid a wreath at Tourgeville Military Cemetery, where 210 Commonwealth soldiers from the First World War and 13 from the Second World War have their graves.

He was shown around the site, which adjoins a military hospital, by David Bennett from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Mr Cameron placed a wreath at the memorial with the signed message: "You gave your lives so we could live in freedom and so Europe was free from tyranny. We will never forget your service and sacrifice."
