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.

Many Britons may be disappointed as they attempt to watch the partial solar eclipse this morning: cloudy conditions cover the United Kingdom, meaning even the most well-prepared sun-gazers may be left clutching at...pinholes.

However, this live stream from the Virtual Telescope Project should help those unable to see the partial solar eclipse, as well as individuals too lazy to start watching around 8am.

Watch live from Nottingham

Of course, thick British clouds could overshadow one of the greatest displays in nature.
