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.The parents of an advertising executive who disappeared while on holiday in Portugal were due to fly out after Portuguese police found a body.
Christopher Bailey, 22, from Hayling Island, Hampshire, disappeared on 26 April after he left a bar in the resort of Praia da Luz in the Algarve to walk to his parents' villa a mile away.
The Foreign Office confirmed yesterday that a body had been found floating in water in a small cove in the area but it had not been formally identified. Police in Portugal said the cove had not been previously searched because it could only be approached by water.
Mr Bailey's parents were due to fly out to Portugal.
Mr Bailey, who was recently made redundant from a London advertising agency, had been staying at his family's four-bedroom villa with friends.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "The body has not yet been formally identified."
