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 month-old baby panda in China has been given its first health check by doctors.

The cub at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park was weighed, measured and had its temperature taken by doctors at the zoo.

The panda is said to be healthy, measuring 23 cm and weighing 1,250 grams. Although the sex cannot yet be determined, it is thought to be a baby girl.
