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.

Four die in rush for Bosnia deadline

Tuzla - Four members of the Nato-led peacekeeping force in Bosnia died yesterday as the midnight deadline for the former warring parties to pull back soldiers and heavy weapons approached. A Dane and a Lithuanian were killed in a landmine explosion and two Swedes died when their armoured personnel carrier plunged off a road. A Nato spokesman said the deadline was unlikely to be met, even though the three sides were trying "as hard as they can". Under the Dayton peace agreement, the parties were obliged to withdraw to barracks some 150,000 soldiers, and to move 800 tanks and other weaponry to storage sites previously approved by Nato. AP
