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.Britain's Ian Williams and his Team GAC Pindar won the Portugal Cup in the World Match Racing Tour today.
The twice former world champion from Southampton beat Italy's Francesco Bruni 2-0 in the final off Portimao on the Algarve coast.
Bruni has already won the German leg of the tour but the win lifts Williams from 10th to third in the 2011 rankings with Bruni still the clear leader from Australia's Peter Gilmour.
"The guys did a great job and it all came good for us," said Williams, who now flies to Boston for the next event in the Extreme Sailing Series, contested in 40-foot catamarans, and then back to Marstrand, Sweden for the next WMRT grand prix.
