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.

Mike Sanderson and Emma Richards, who, in Pindar, had led from the start and round the rock, fell back by 20 miles into fourth place. A hike to the north was their undoing as Bernard Stamm in Cheminées Poujoulat took the lead, from Jean-Pierre Dick in Virbac and Roland Jourdain in Sill.

The triple Olympic medallist Ben Ainslie won his third straight race at the Finn European Championships in Kalmar, Sweden, yesterday while, in Varberg, Iain Percy and Steve Mitchell lead the Star European Championship withtwo wins from four races.
