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.JASON COOK has promised to cut out his clowning during the remainder of the Games. The Maesteg featherweight tried his own Muhammad Ali routine on the way to a 15-0 victory over Francis Passingan of Papua New Guinea.
The Welsh boxer faces Daniel Attah, of Nigeria, in the next round and said: 'I've been doing the Ali bit for a couple of years now, but I don't intend to do it against the Nigerian. He's too cagy.'
In the diving, Canada won four of the six medals on offer on Saturday with a victory for Jason Napper on the springboard and a clean sweep in the women's 10-metre platform. However, the Australians complained about the scores needed to win medals being displayed during the final round, saying they could have influenced the judges.
