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.

Britain in the medals

Great Britain won two silvers and a bronze on the third day of the European Championships at Ostend. Michelle Rogers and Chloe Cowen provided the silvers, and Kate Howey the bronze on the first day of the finals. Cowen was beaten by the Belgian Olympic champion Ulla Werbrouck in the final of the -72kg class. "I feel it's the worst medal you can get," she said of her silver. Rogers, in the +72kg class, shared Cowen's disappointment, losing, for the third time in three championships, to Germany's Joanna Hagen. Howey was in inspired form in the -66kg repechage, the 23-year- old from Andover dismissing both her opponents with ease to claim bronze.
