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.Munich prosecutors are to press charges against two officials over the death of Austria's Ulrike Maier in a World Cup downhill in Germany in January 1994. The International Skiing Federation race directors, Kurt Hoch of Austria and Jan Tischhauser of Switzerland, are accused of negligent killing by failing to observe safety regulations in placing a timing post at the place where Maier crashed.
The World Cup women's giant slalom and slalom races at Lake Louis, Alberta, have been postponed because of heavy snowfalls and warm temperatures. The giant slalom has been rescheduled to run tomorrow, with the slalom on Monday.
