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.

Two British soldiers have been injured in an explosion in central Bosnia, Reuter reports from London. A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Defence said one soldier was reported badly injured in the incident, which occurred late on Tuesday. 'Two British soldiers were injured when their armoured vehicle sustained damage in an explosion, the nature of which is currently being investigated,' she said. 'The incident happened about 10 km (six miles) to the south-west of Maglaj in central Bosnia. A third occupant was uninjured.' The injured soldiers were flown by helicopter to a United Nations Protection Force hospital in Tuzla.
