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.

rowing Britain's women's eight, with Tina Stiller restored to her seat after missing the heat through illness, qualified for a final on Sunday through yesterday's repêchage round.

The women's quad also succeeded in a repêchage, while the men's lightweight four missed out. The men's quad had to withdraw from the competition because a second member of the crew was incapacitated by illness: Charles Cousins suffered a recurrence of a back injury.

Today eight crews take part in semi-finals, including the scullers Alan Campbell and Katherine Grainger, the pair of Pete Reed and Andy Hodge, the much-fancied men's four and the men's and women's double scullers.
