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.

THE trainer Zoe Green has been banned from holding a licence for three years, it emerged yesterday. Green actually handed in her licence in March but will not be allowed to reapply for it until June, 1998.

Green, 37, had her 19-year training career halted after falling foul of rules regarding the registration of employees and book-keeping at her Hawick yard and for misleading Jockey Club officials.

The verdict was reached after a disciplinary committee inquiry last Wednesday, which received written submissions from the trainer ad her solicitor. Miss Green was also fined pounds 500.
