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.

Finland's Jari-Matti Latvala won the Rally of Britain for Ford yesterday, while Citroën's Sebastien Loeb moved closer to a ninth successive world title after finishing second.

Latvala's victory, the 27-year-old's second in succession in Britain and first race win for seven months, ended a run of five in a row by Frenchman Loeb dating back to Argentina in April. The Norwegian Petter Solberg was third for Ford while his compatriot Mads Ostberg – a long-time podium threat – nursed his Adapta Ford home for fourth as engine issues affected his final leg.
