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.

Encouraging news over Pure Grain, who fractured her off-hind cannon bone when finishing 10th in Sunday's Japan Cup, came yesterday from Michael Stoute.

The Newmarket trainer said: "I spoke to Stuart Messenger, my head lad [who has remained with Pure Grain at the International Stables at Tokyo raceourse], this morning. He said that she is more comfortable.

"It's early days but she is better now than when I left her and it is encouraging that she is already bearing a little weight on the injured leg.'' But Stoute added: ''It would be wrong to be too optimisitic at this stage."
