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.North Korea was accused yesterday by rival teams of entering under-age girls at the Asian Games. A Games gymnastics official said there had been complaints that some members of their women's artistic gymnastics team appeared to be as young as 11, well below the minimum age limit of 16. North Korea was banned from the 1993 World Championships when it was found that one of its medallists had been registered with three different birthdates in three different tournaments.
Dominique Moceanu, who became the youngest American ever to win an Olympic gold medal in gymnastics in 1996, is returning to court to have a restraining order against her father made permanent.
