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.

Ray Cochrane, reported missing 12 days ago, has telephoned Cambridgeshire police to inform them that he is safe and well. However, he refused to tell them where he was.

A police spokesman said the missing-person file would remain open until Cochrane, 39, was seen by officers in person.

The jockey, who won the 1988 Derby on Kahyasi, was reported missing from his home at Swaffham Prior, near Newmarket by his wife, Anne.

Cochrane's booking agent and brother-in-law, Andrew Gilbert, said yesterday: "It is purely and utterly a domestic dispute. He went away wanting a bit of time to himself, that's all. He is fit and well."
