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.

Joseph Kimani led Kenya to victory at the International Amateur Athletic Federation world road relay championships in Copenhagen yesterday.

The six-man team completed the marathon distance race in 2hr 40sec. Kimani broke away on the 6.25-mile second stage to give his team-mates a lead they never relinquished.

The best performance of the day came from Brazil's Delmir Dos Santos, who clocked 28:31 on the fourth stage. Brazil hung on to finish second in 2:01:24 while the bronze medal went to Ethiopia in 2:01:50.

The women's race, which took place on Saturday, was won by Ethiopia, ahead of Romania and Japan.
