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.

Athletics

Britain have lost another medal hope for next week's European Indoor Championships in Stockholm. Mark Hylton decided today not to risk a groin strain and withdrew from the 400 metres. The 19-year-old European junior champion follows fellow 400m runner Melanie Neef and hurdler Tony Jarrett out of the team named on Wednesday. John Regis and the high jumper Steve Smith turned down places, while the championships never figured in the plans of Linford Christie, Colin Jackson or Sally Gunnell. Kent Ulyatt takes over from Hylton in the squad.
