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.

Steffi Graf, who is recovering from knee surgery, says she expects to return to play in the autumn.

"If everything goes well, I'll be able to play again in late autumn and will then be in the Tournament of Champions in Frankfurt at the beginning of December," Graf said yesterday.

The 28-year-old seven-times Wimbledon champion had knee surgery on 10 June in Vienna. "I'm now doing very well," she said. "Directly after [the surgery] it was a bit difficult. Now I can move without pain."
