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.THE CONDUCT of Andy Norman, the British Athletic Federation's promotions officer linked with last month's suicide by the writer and coach, Cliff Temple, was discussed for two and a half hours last night at a BAF management board meeting. However, no statement was offered on Norman's future position with the federation.
The full council of the BAF's board, comprising nearly 50 members, meets in Birmingham city chambers today and is expected to consider evidence on the subject which has been scrutinised by the BAF executive chairman, Professor Peter Radford.
Radford's investigation aims not to apportion blame for Temple's death, but to establish whether Norman threatened Temple, as alleged, with charges of sexual harassment, and whether such behaviour, if confirmed, is 'becoming of a BAF officer'.
