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.

BRITAIN'S Olympic bobsleigh team are leading the World Cup four-man standings for the first time in 30 years. Mark Tout, the British champion, moved into pole position in the overall points table after finishing fourth in Calgary yesterday, writes Chris Moore.

Tout, and his crew of Chris Symonds, Jason Wing and Eric Sekwalor, had won silver and bronze medals in the two previous World Cup races in Altenberg last month. Britain's second driver, Sean Olsson, finished seventh.

Tout has only to avoid disaster in the fifth and final World Cup race in St Moritz next month to be certain of an overall medal in the last event before the Winter Olympic Games in Lillehammer in February.
