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.

British veteran Nathan Robertson feels it is time to make home advantage start counting as the 2012 build-up intensifies.

Wembley Arena, badminton's Olympic site, hosts the Yonex BWF World Championships from today.

Robertson , Olympic silver medallist with Gail Emms in 2004, is Britain's best hope of success as he competes in mixed doubles with Jenny Wallwork.

Robertson, 34, said: "It's a huge advantage playing at Wembley. Any sportsman would say playing at home gives you a percentage ,whether 5 or 10 per cent adrenalin or motivation."
