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.

Budget airline easyJet has begun a new service to Malta.

The no-frills carrier will be flying twice-a-week services between Belfast International airport and Malta using Airbus A319 aircraft.

On today's first flight from Belfast was Joseph Zammit Tabona, Malta's High Commissioner to the UK.

Paul Simmons, easyJet's regional general manager, said: "We're delighted to be launching this new route to Malta, which is a popular destination for leisure and business travellers, and strengthens easyJet's existing destinations from Northern Ireland."

Belfast International chief executive John Doran said: "It's great to see the return of direct flights to Malta."
