Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Burglars stole two computers containing confidential information from a power company's nuclear energy research site.
The burglary, discovered on Monday, was at the Électricité de France's office in Chatou west of Paris, even though it is protected by highly secure anti-theft systems. Police suspect industrial espionage.
An EDF spokeswoman said that the office is for research purposes only. The company said that the two laptops "contain no information about the operating systems of nuclear plants".
