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.More strong performances by the British America's Cup crew in Auckland have put them in joint lead with the New York Yacht Club going into the final day of a four-way play off for the right to meet the cup holders, Team New Zealand, writes Stuart Alexander.
Both Britain, represented by the Royal Dorset Yacht Club and skippered by Chris Law with local America's Cup man Murray Jones as tactician, and New York - skippered by Ed Baird - have played five, won four in a round- robin which includes France's Societe Nautique Port Camargue, skippered by Bernard Mallaret, and San Francisco's America True, with Rod Davis at the helm.
Britain face France, whom they have already beaten, in their final race today. Baird lines up against Davis and, if Baird wins to tie the event, there will be sudden-death play-off between Britain and New York. The winner meets New Zealand in a best of three tomorrow.
