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.

Police in Leeds were questioning two men and a woman last night in connection with a street killing described as a street execution.

Nigel Colin Wilson, 23, of no fixed address but originally from Morley, Leeds, was pursued, knocked to the ground and then shot several times in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire. Police said the killing appeared to be a pre-planned execution and described the gang responsible as ruthless and callous.
