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.

Miguel Indurain will make his bid to break the Scot Graeme Obree's world hour record in Bordeaux next Friday, the Spaniard's sporting director Eusebio Unzue said yesterday. Indurain, who won his fourth Tour de France last month, is training in the Basque country and will head for the French velodrome early next week. Obree set his mark in Bordeaux last April at 52.713km. The Italian Gianni Bugno, the winner of two world championship road races who failed a dope test for caffeine, said yesterday that he will quit racing if he fails a second test and is suspended.
