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.Southern Yemeni forces regained some of the ground they had lost to advancing northern troops on a front north of their Aden stronghold, Reuter reports from Aden. Southern forces advanced about 15km (nine miles) towards al-Anad and are now 5km (three miles) south of the military base, from where they had pulled back last week in fierce artillery and tank battles with their northern rivals. A large explosion shook Aden last night, less than 24 hours after northern forces fired several missiles at the southern Yemeni city.
