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.Despite taking a wrong turn on the bike, Alistair Brownlee broke the Abu Dhabi International triathlon record on Saturday with a time of three hours 20 minutes and 18 seconds, in his first race back since winning Olympic gold in London.
"The bike was a challenge. I saw a sign on the bike course and thought that was where I needed to go," Brownlee said of his cycling mistake. "It was only when I got back on the course I realised I had been there before."
