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.

Didier Auriol held Carlos Sainz at bay yesterday to win his fifth Tour of Corsica title after a breathtaking finale. Auriol, who started the last day of with his Toyota 33sec ahead of his Spanish rival's Subaru, saw his lead cut to nine seconds after four of the last eight stages. In the fifth section, however, Sainz had problems after breaking the front anti-roll bar. Auriol, who now leads the world championship, finished 44sec ahead of Sainz and took the rally by 56sec.
