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.

The French Grand Prix has been removed from the 2004 Formula One calendar, according to organisers.

The event, held at the Magny-Cours circuit, is in financial difficulty with organisers owing the Formula One impresario, Bernie Ecclestone, £6m in sanctioning fees. But Roland Hodel, who runs Magny-Cours, insists that the race will return in 2005.

The removal of the race - the site of the first-ever grand prix - would trim the calendar to 17 events after Canada was reinstated recently.
