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.

Willie Carson is expected to leave the intensive care unit at North Hampshire Hospital in Basingstoke today.

The 53-year-old jockey, who suffered a severe laceration to his liver when cow-kicked in the stomach by a horse at Newbury last Friday, had at first been expected to leave the unit yesterday. But a hospital spokesman said yesterday it was hoped Carson would move into a surgical ward today where he would continue to be looked after by Dr Myrddin Rees.
