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.

Usain Bolt says he will definitely compete in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

Speculation has been rife since the London Games that the Olympic 100 metres and 200m champion could quit athletics before Rio.

However, his hunger for success appears to be showing no signs of abating.

"Yes definitely I will be there (in Rio), as long as I'm fit and I'm ready," Bolt said. "It'll be a little bit harder but I'm looking forward to it."
