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.

Natalie Melmore struck gold in the women's lawn bowls singles final in Delhi today.

The 21-year-old from Torquay beat New Zealand's Val Smith to claim England's second gold of the Games at the JN Sports Complex.

Melmore won the first set 7-6 and then ran away with the second, taking it 11-2 to clinch the gold before runing to the side of the rink for tearful celebrations with her family.

Melmore's golden moment followed on from the Day Eight triumph of Ellen Falkner and Amy Monkhouse in the women's pairs.

Meanwhile in the men's singles bronze medal match Northern Ireland's Gary Kelly beat England's Sam Tolchard.
