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.President Thomas Klestil was parted professionally from his mistress yesterday after the Foreign Minister, Alois Mock, met Margot Loeffler and promised to find the diplomat a quick posting abroad after several weeks of leave, Reuter reports from Vienna.
After announcing last week that he would live apart from his wife while Ms Loeffler would quit 'as soon as possible', Mr Klestil decided Ms Loeffler would join him on a trip to Egypt. Her trip has been cancelled.
