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 number of possible cases of salmonella food poisoning linked with a Perth hotel has now reached 125, health officials said last night.

Fifty-nine cases have been confirmed and a further 66 are suspected, said officials from Tayside Health Board investigating the scare at the Isle of Skye Hotel. Officials said the outbreak control team was now "fairly sure" the outbreak was under control, although the number of confirmed cases is expected to continue rising over the next few days. Investigators are to redouble their efforts to identify the cause of the outbreak.
