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.

Copenhagen - A Hell's Angels club house burns after being hit by an anti-tank missile yesterday in the latest round of a vicious turf war. A second missile later slammed into the premises of an allied motor-cycle gang.

Police said that the first rocket hit a Hell's Angels clubhouse in Snoldelev, 20 miles south-west of Copenhagen shortly after midnight, causing no injuries but burning down an annexe.

Four hours later a second missile ploughed into a building used by the Angels' allies the Avengers, in Aalborg, 90 miles away. Four gang members sleeping in the building were unhurt by the missile, which did not detonate. Hell's Angels have been battling the rival Bandidos gang in Denmark and the Nordic region for several years but the latest round of violence flared last month with the killing of local Bandidos leader, Uffe Larsen, in an ambush at Copenhagen airport.
