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.

Golfer Colin Montgomerie is due to appear in court today accused of speeding.

Montgomerie, 45, allegedly broke a 40mph speed limit in his Bentley in Kingston upon Thames, south west London, in March.

He will be represented by solicitor Nick Freeman, dubbed "Mr Loophole" because of the number of clients he has helped beat traffic fines.

Montgomerie is expected to enter a plea at the hearing at Feltham Magistrates' Court, west London.

The Glaswegian, known as Monty, has been a professional golfer since 1987 and was number one in Europe for seven years from 1993.

After his much-publicised divorce in 2006, father-of-three Montgomerie married Gaynor Knowles, widow of furniture tycoon George Knowles, earlier this year.
