Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

The Tokyo Olympics have come to an end, with United States overtaking China to lead the medal table at the end of the final day of the Games.

A haul of 39 golds sees USA ahead of China by one, with hosts Japan a further 11 back.

Great Britain finished fourth in the standings with 22 golds – with the fifth-placed Russian Olympic Committee two behind and Australia sixth with 17 golds.
