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.Britain's Richard Burns takes a sharp turn during the Acropolis Rally yesterday as he tries to maintain his challenge to Finland's Juha Kankkunen. Kankkunen, who had started the day with a 27sec lead over the Mitsubishis of Burns and Finland's Tommi Makinen, had seen his advantage over Burns cut to 17sec at the end of the 10th stage, but slowly rebuilt it to 37sec over Sainz as the teams stopped overnight in Kamena Vourla. Burns was unable to match the Fords and, after a spin on the 12th stage, was overtaken by Sainz on the final stage of the day, the 14th of the rally. A victory for Sainz today would put him back in contention for the world championship, although Kankkunen will be keen to secure his first win since the Rally of Portugal in 1994
