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.

Rallying

Colin McRae, the British world champion, suffered chronic suspension problems with his Subaru Impreza as he finished the Safari Rally in Kenya in fourth position yesterday, more than an hour behind the winner, Tommi Makinen.

The Finn won the world championship's roughest and fastest rally to extend his lead in the second round of the series to 17 points.

McRae, who hit a 12-year-old spectator on Saturday's stages, said: "It's not very enjoyable fighting for world championship points in conditions like this."
