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.Mo Farah is highly unlikely to compete at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year after deciding to prioritise the London Marathon.
It is a significant blow to Games organisers as the reigning Olympic and world 10,000 metres and 5,000m champion was expected to be one of the star attractions.
The 30-year-old insisted he can focus only on one race next year, but offered faint hope he could be involved in Glasgow. "I don't know. It just depends how I come off that marathon," Farah said. "My aim is to do the London Marathon and that is what I am fully focused on. It's a bonus if I do it, but it is not on my list."
