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.

Peter Mitchell shares the lead with Scotland's Dean Robertson on 135, seven under par, after a second-round 65 at the Chemapol Czech Open at Marianske Lazne, but the former world No 1 tennis player, Ivan Lendl, missed the cut after shooting a respectable five-over-par 76.

Lendl, playing in his first-ever PGA European Tour event at the invitation of the sponsors, was unhappy with his first-round 82 yesterday but yesterday's effort was far more satisfactory.

It left him on 158, 16 over par for the two rounds, but he said: "It was as good as I could expect after having a triple bogey seven at the third hole in both rounds. I have no regrets about playing here at all for it was a great experience for me.''
