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.

Czech military police are likely to be withdrawn from Iraq at the beginning of next year, the Czech Defence Minister Miroslav Kostelka said yesterday, putting further pressure on Britain and the US to find volunteers for a multinational force.

Czech military police are likely to be withdrawn from Iraq at the beginning of next year, the Czech Defence Minister Miroslav Kostelka said yesterday, putting further pressure on Britain and the US to find volunteers for a multinational force. Spanish troops have already been pulled out of the country by the new anti-war government, and other governments are taking a new look at their commitments in light of the security situation. The Czech Republic has 80 military police stationed near Basra.

Mr Kostelkatold the news agency CTK that the Czech Republic should focus on its missions in Afghanistan and the Balkans.
