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 DETAILED confession to murder was released by a Crown Court judge last night only hours after the man accused of the crime had been acquitted.

Keith Hall, from Pudsey, near Leeds, cleared of the murder of his wife, Patricia, is heard confessing to killing her on a tape recording made by an undercover policewoman who had pretended to fall in love with him.

The judge, Mr Justice Waterhouse, had ruled the tape to be inadmissible as evidence and the jury had not heard it.
