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.British officials spoke yesterday of a possible change in the wind in the peace talks on Cyprus, arguing: "[The negotiation] may fail again. But if it succeeds, it's the real McCoy." The talks have been part of a never-ending stalemate, since the Turkish invasion of the island in 1974.
Glafkos Klerides, leader of the Greek Cypriots, yesterday met Tony Blair at Downing Street. The meeting came just three days after the conclusion of UN-brokered talks between Mr Klerides and Rauf Denktash, the Turkish Cypriot leader, in the rural resort of Troutbeck in upstate New York. A second round of talks will be held in Switzerland next month.
