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.

Arrows will appeal against the sport's governing body to win back its place in the Formula One World Championship.

The Leafield-based outfit, who missed the final five races of last season because of cash problems, were excluded from the entry list for 2003 by the FIA on Monday.

"We will appeal against the FIA's decision, we will ask for the intervention of the F1 Commission," said Daniele Audetto, the commercial director of team owner Tom Walkinshaw's TWR group.

But sources at the governing body insisted after the entry list was published yesterday that the decision was final, seemingly ending the most unsuccessful team in the sport's history. Arrows failed to win a race in 382 attempts.

They have paid the £220,000 entry fee but, if any new team now emerges from Arrows, it will have to pay a £31m bond.
