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.A guerrilla leader is believed to have met members of the Peruvian government for talks on the Japanese embassy siege yesterday. A man entered a white car with Red Cross markings to make the short ride from the Japanese compound where 72 hostages are being held to a house across the street.
The man was believed to be Roli Rojas Fernandez, second in command of the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement. Members of special police units, dressed in black and armed with automatic weapons, were stationed close to one another along the street. AP - Lima
