This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Two people have been hospitalised after a footbridge over a river collapsed in North Yorkshire.

Emergency services attended the scene near the village of Cropton at around 15:00 GMT after receiving reports that two people were in the water in the River Seven.

One person was taken by air ambulance to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.

Another was taken by ambulance to Scarborough Hospital.

A BBC reporter said one person was taken from the scene: "conscious and sitting upright but covered in bandages".
