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.

RACECOURSE Technical Services will continue to provide on-course camera patrols, the British Horseracing Board announced yesterday after rejecting a rival bid from SIS.

The board's chairman, Tristram Ricketts, said: 'We have decided the longer term interests of racing will best be served if the camera-patrol service continues to be provided by RTS. The difference of less than pounds 200,000 between the RTS budget price and the lower SIS tender would be more than offset by termination costs which would arise if RTS were no longer to provide the service.'

Ricketts discounted speculation that bookmaker ownership of SIS had counted against the bid, saying that on this issue the board 'could find no grounds for concern.'
