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.

A man wearing a recyclable shopping bag on his head robbed a service station in Australia.

In CCTV footage seen by police, the man can be seen threatening a female shop attendant with a knife at a Sunshine Coast service station, Caboolture.

The staff member complied with his demands and handed over some cash and cigarettes.

During the robbery, the man tried to hide his identity by wearing a blue shopping bag on his head.

However, he removed the bag before leaving the shop as he used it to carry the stolen items.

Police say no one was injured in the incident.

The man is described as Caucasian in appearance, about 165-170cm in height, with short dark hair and blue eyes.

Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
