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.

GABRIELE TARQUINI, driving an Alfa Romeo, maintained his lead of the Auto Trader RAC British Touring Car Championship at Silverstone yesterday.

Tarquini, of Italy, won the first race of the afternoon but spent the first 12 laps trailing the Renault Laguna of Switzerland's Alain Menu, whose challenge faded with his tyres. Menu slipped to third in the shortened first leg, behind the Ford Mondeo of Paul Radisich.

Tarquini's chances of a double victory were ruined on the opening lap of the second race, after he was tapped into a spin while lying third behind the Fords of Radisich and Andy Rouse. Radisich won.
