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.Jonnie Peacock added a world title to his Paralympic gold last night when he beat his big rival Richard Browne Jnr in the T44 100m at the IPC world championships in Lyon.
Browne had beaten Peacock’s world-record time in the heats but in the final the Briton finished 0.02sec ahead in a time of 10.99 – despite stumbling at the start. “I shouldn’t have won like that,” said Peacock, 20. “I’m the luckiest guy in the world.”
There were also golds for Britain’s Aled Davies, who added the F42 discus win to his early victory in the shot put, while Richard Whitehead took the T42 200m title.
