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.The voice of racing, Peter O'Sullevan, has set a date for his retirement and will hand over his microphone at the BBC to J A McGrath after Glorious Goodwood next July. O'Sullevan started commentating in 1947 and will be 79 when he retires.
"I don't want to outstay my welcome but I would also like to get 50 Royal Ascots and Goodwoods under my belt," he said. "I have to do more homework these days and people always remember the mistakes."
Two of Jenny Pitman's stalwarts, Garrison Savannah and Willsford, have been retired.
