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.

Day four at the Rio Olympic Games begins under the cloud of a fierce row between gold medal swimmer Lilly King and controversial Russian Yulia Efimova following their 100m breaststroke final, with King also turning on her Team USA colleague Justin Gatlin. Follow the latest here.

Women's Keirin: And it's silver for Becky James! It's finally confirmed that Britain's James came in at second. What a final lap from her - and it needed to be. Netherland's Elis Little takes gold.

Men's Long Jump: Yet another turn in events as Jeff Henderson jumps 8.38m! He's beaten the South African by the smallest of margins to take first place. Rutherford will have to produce the jump of his life for that top spot on the podium...

Samuel Lovett14 August 2016 02:17

Men's Long Jump: It's a white flag...has he done it?

Samuel Lovett14 August 2016 02:18

Men's Long Jump: It's 8.29m. No gold for Rutherford but he's currently in bronze position...

Samuel Lovett14 August 2016 02:19

Men's Long Jump: Lawson's left hand appears to have dragged in the sand as he's awarded 7.78m. The American is outraged and makes his way over to the officials to complain but it's good news for Rutherford who currently stands in bronze if the decision stands.

Samuel Lovett14 August 2016 02:21

Right, we're minutes away from what should be a thrilling conclusion to the women's heptathlon. Can Jessica Ennis-Hill find the strength to take this 800m by storm and claim that gold medal?

Samuel Lovett14 August 2016 03:06

Golf: With the winner of the Olympic gold in the men's golf competition getting automatic entry to all four major tournaments in 2017, the stakes are even higher in Rio. Justin Rose leads at present.
