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.

China, the world's leading badminton power, demonstrated its future talent yesterday by taking three titles at the Second World Junior Badminton Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In men's singles, Chen Gang easily defeated compatriot Zhung Qiang 15-9 15-3 to give China its first title. In another all-China final, Wang Chen struggled hard to defeat Zeng Yaqzeng 3-11 11-5 11-4 in the women's singles. In the mixed doubles, China's Zhang Wei teamed up with Qian Hong to overpower their compatriots Yang Bing and Yao Jie 15-8 15-6.
