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.DOG DISEASE: A possible case of an illness similar to mad cow disease affecting dogs is being investigated overseas, the food minister Nicholas Soames said. He said 41 brains from dogs in Britain with signs of neurological disease had been submitted for tests since 1986. None had been identified as being affected by spongiform encephalopathy.
BEEF EXPORTS: Gillian Shephard, agriculture minister, said there had been a dramatic fall in British beef exports to Germany and an adverse effect on other British products. Germany recently withdrew a threat to ban British beef imports because of BSE fears.
