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.

Juan Antonio Flecha, Christian Knees and Michael Barry have all agreed new deals with Team Sky as the British squad continue their preparations for next season after signing road world champion Mark Cavendish earlier this week.

Spaniard Flecha and German Knees have both committed to the team for a further two years, while Canadian Barry has extended his current agreement by 12 months.

Dave Brailsford, Team Sky's principal, said: "All three have contributed hugely to our success as a professional team and we all look forward to continuing that momentum into 2012 and beyond."
