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.

Police yesterday arrested another man in connection with their investigation into allegations of race-fixing and the doping of horses.

This brings the number of arrests to seven, three of which have been the jockeys Jamie Osborne, Dean Gallagher and Leighton Aspell. None of those arrested have been charged with any offence but the original six arrested men are on police bail until 29 April.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said of the fresh arrest: "His premises were searched and he is under arrest at a Hampshire police station."

Jamie Osborne is to break his silence on BBC television today. Osborne will be interviewed after the 1.15 race at Newbury.
