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.A good day for:
Rich, fashionable slimmers, with the launch in Japan of diet earrings. Yasuo Tomoyuki, 47, has designed a pair of earrings that sit on the hunger- suppressing acupuncture pressure points at the front and back of the ear. He also claims that their pearls generate infra-red rays that suppress hunger pangs.
A bad day for:
Chinese zoos, with a report that the People's Park in the city of Huzhou is being sued for 100,000 yuan (about pounds 8,000) by a 10-year-old boy who was bitten on the ankle by a giant panda. The bars of the cage were wide enough apart for children to go in and play with the usually docile animal.
