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.

The sun might have made a welcome appearance across Britain recently, but with it comes the promise of a dip in temperatures and more rain.

Around the Mediterranean, though, the mercury is stabilising at around 28C in locations such as Palma, Perpignan and Porto Vecchio. The summer months tend to be dry and hot, with about 11 daily sunshine hours on the central islands.

For optimum sun-soaking, avoid the intense heat and crowds of July and August, and aim for June. The islands – including the Balearics, Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily – are at their best.

Monarch (0871 423 8642; monarch.co.uk) has a week in Cala Bona, Mallorca, for £285pp, with flights from Gatwick on 17 June and all-inclusive at the Ola Isabel Hotel.
