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.The jury which will decide whether or not Rosemary West is guilty of 10 murders will be sent out to consider its verdicts on Monday.
Mr Justice Mantell continued summing up the evidence for a second day yesterday and will finish on Monday. He told the jurors they must read the transcripts of police interviews with Mrs West last year when considering their verdicts, and advised them to bring an overnight bag on Monday. Mrs West, 41, denies murdering 10 females whose remains were found in Gloucester. Her husband, Frederick, charged with 12 murders, was found hanged in his prison cell last new year.
