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.

THE combined team of Britain and Ireland moved one stroke ahead of the United States after yesterday's second round of the World Amateur Team Championship, at La Boulie, near Versailles.

Led by Lee James who fired a six-under-par 66 at the French National, the British and Irish squad finished eight-under overall at 421.

James, the British Amateur champion from Dorset, helped his brilliant round with an eagle at the 18th, hitting a three-iron to 20 inches from the pin.

Warren Bennett shot a 68 and Gordon Sherry had a 74 for the two other scores counting towards the four- man team total.
