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 family of two children gassed to death in a holiday tragedy almost three years ago hit out today after a trial linked to the case was delayed for six months.
Twelve defendants, including two British holiday reps, were due to go on trial this morning in connection with the deaths of Christianne Shepherd, seven, and her brother Robert, six, who suffered carbon monoxide poisoning in a Greek holiday apartment in October 2006.
But the case at Corfu Town Courthouse was postponed at the request of four of the defendants.
Paul Wood, the children's stepfather, read a statement saying: "We are all very disappointed that we will have to wait a further six months to see justice done."
