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.GERMANY made a clean sweep of gold, silver and bronze in the individual dressage, which was not a great surprise as the three medallists had teamed up to win the team gold two days earlier.
The day belonged to Nicole Uphoff, who won the individual title for the second time with a flawless performance on Rembrandt. So good were they that Isabell Werth, on Gigolo, was a full 75 points behind. Bronze went to a policeman, Klaus Balkenhol, who actually used to ride his horse, Goldstern, on the beat.
Uphoff was less sure-footed on two legs. She tripped as she stepped up to collect her medal, and almost fell flat on her face.
