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.

SHOOTING, which has revolutionised its format to try to make a more dramatic on the Olympics, ended as it would have dreamed yesterday when four people were involved in sudden-death shoot-outs for the trap medals.

The Czechoslovak Petr Hrdlicka and Kazumi Watanabe of Japan squared up for the gold medal, with each man given one shot per target. It was all over after the first clay. Hrdlicka hit, Watanabe missed. The bronze shoot-out went on for eight rounds before the world champion, Marco Venturini of Italy, edged Germany's Joerg Damme.
