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.

SWIMMING

Daniel Coombs, the promising young Essex butterfly swimmer, will spearhead Great Britain's bid for medals at the European Junior Championships in Geneva from 19-22 July.

The 16-year-old from Romford, who claimed the British junior 100m butterfly record last August, confirmed his potential at the European Championship trials in Sheffield last week.

Coombs won the junior 100m butterfly and 100m freestyle and he was seventh in the senior 200m butterfly final. He has been selected for all three events in Geneva, plus the 4x100m freestyle.
