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.

Online retailer Asos has launched a brand-new activewear line for both men and women.

One of the world’s leading fashion destinations for twentysomethings, Asos is about to make working out a whole lot less daunting with its new collection of fitness garb under the moniker Asos 4505.

A launch which follows the company’s “More Reasons To Move” campaign earlier this year featuring a diverse cast of models – with freestyle footballer Lisa Zimouche, DJ Jessica Skye and body positivity and disability advocate Mama Cax among them – the collection aims to empower men and women of all ages, shapes, sizes and abilities to get active.

And, while the range of rainbow-coloured prints and textures is undoubtedly pleasing to the eye, each piece has the added bonus of seasonless technology and high-performance fabrics to ensure you get the very best from your fitness gear.

For women, the first drop includes everything from reflective-detailed jackets and T-shirts to all-in-one yoga outfits, leggings and even the odd bit of ski clothing.

What’s more, 4505 includes maternity items, as well as tall, petite and curve with sizes running from a UK 4 to 30.

The menswear collection also has something for everyone including basketball-style shorts, printed running tights with compression, track jackets and gilets.
