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.

Two world champions, Britain's Jonathan Edwards and the English-born Italian Fiona May, both scored convincing wins in the triple and long jump events at Italy's oldest meet, the Oak Prize in Rovereto last night.

Edwards beat his fellow Briton Larry Achike by 17cm in the men's triple jump, with a winning measure of 17.27m.

May took the women's long jump with a leap of 6.71m, 11cm clear of Trude Vaszi, of Hungary.

Fabrizio Mori, silver medalist at this year's World Championships in Edmonton, finished strongly to beat the Jamaican Jan Weakley and Britain's Antonu Borsumato in the 400m hurdles in 48.72 sec.
