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.

Reigning world match racing champion Ian Williams regained winning form in Korea today to make it through to the final of the third grand prix of the world match racing series against Italy’s Paolo Cian tomorrow.

Cian beat quadruple Olympic medal winner Ben Ainslie, winner of the German grand prix, who faces Williams’ victim, Bjorn Hansen of Sweden, in the third-place decider.

Mixed conditions faced the fleet of seven starting the eighth, 1,000-mile leg of the Volvo round the world race as they left Galway to round the Fastnet Rock and head for the English Channel. Sweden’s Ericsson 4 leads overall, but just one point separates second-placed Telefonica Blue of Spain and the American yacht Puma and the Straits of Dover is a potential trap as they head for Marstrand, Sweden.
