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.Formula One has no concerns about next year's inaugural Indian Grand Prix despite New Delhi's problems with the Commonwealth Games, the sport's commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone said today.
"No. Different organisation altogether, completely different. I have no worries at all," the 79-year-old Briton told reporters at a sponsor announcement ahead of this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix.
"The people who are making a shambles (of the Games) are not the people who we are dealing with for the race."
India is due to host a Formula One race for the first time next October at a new 5.14 kms circuit being built some 35 kms from Delhi.
The Commonwealth Games, intended to showcase India's growing financial clout, are fast becoming a national embarrassment with participicating countries delaying their arrivals because of concerns over security and the state of the athletes' village.
