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.Wimbledon is set to be hit by a heatwave this week with temperatures predicted to reach 33C on Wednesday.
Those heading to the Championships have been urged to think ahead and use common sense, with advice to wear hats, apply sun cream and drink plenty of water.
While 500ml bottles of Evian can be purchased for £2.30 on site, spectators are permitted to enter the grounds with as much water as they wish, although cannot carry it using a flask. The only restriction on liquids applies to alcohol with a limit of one bottle of wine or two 500ml cans of beer per person.
There are also 13 water fountains dotted around the All England Club.
Despite the Championships coinciding with what could be the hottest day of the year so far organisers say there are no special plans in place with Wimbledon already geared up for all eventualities.
