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.

Laura Davies collected her 23rd European win and a cheque for pounds 56,250 with a closing-round 68 to retain her title in the Evian Masters in France on Saturday.

Davies, with a 14-under-par aggregate of 274, finished four strokes clear of Sweden's Carin Koch, with Helen Alfredsson, another Swede, in third place on 279. A downpour left the course waterlogged and delayed the start of play for four hours.

The weather in Germany was even worse yesterday, forcing the BMW International Open in Munich to be abandoned midway through the third round. The Frenchman Marc Farry, the leader after 36 holes with a 12-under-par 132, was declared the winner without striking a ball for two days.
