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.

Next month's inaugural South Korean Grand Prix could be cancelled as final approval of the circuit is being left dangerously late, Bernie Ecclestone warned yesterday.

"It should have been inspected maybe six weeks ago," Ecclestone said. "It was inspected but it wasn't passed. It's a case of do we cancel the race or not? They say it's all going to be okay, so we hope they are right."

The race is due to take place on 24 October, and the FIA's race director Charlie Whiting will not now inspect the venue until 11 October.
