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.

UN inspectors left for North Korea yesterday after Pyongyang said it had started a controversial replacement of reactor fuel rods, the International Atomic Energy Agency said, AFP reports from Vienna.

The IAEA spokesman, David Kyd, warned that if refuelling had started, it would be a 'grave violation' of agreements between the agency and North Korea on inspections at the Yongbyon site, about 60 miles north of Pyongyang.
