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 judge has postponed the trial of two Iraqi men accused of killing six British military policemen in 2003.
A British Embassy spokeswoman in Baghdad said the Iraqi court delayed the hearing until October 10 to give more witnesses time to travel.
Iraqi officials did not immediately announce the delay to reporters waiting to enter Baghdad's Central Court to cover the proceedings today.
The six British soldiers were playing football with Iraqi police officers they were training in the southern town of Majar al-Kabir when a mob chased them into a police station and shot them.
Majar al-Kabir is about 120 miles north of Basra, Iraq's second largest city, near the southern Kuwaiti border.
