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.

TAIWAN'S baseball players booked themselves in for their country's first medal of the games when they beat Japan 5-2 in the semi-final.

This is baseball's debut as a full sport, and Taiwan owe their progress in large part to their pitcher, Kuo Lee Chien-fu, who has pitched more innings than anyone else in the tournament. Yesterday he conceded five hits - just one after the fourth inning - and struck out nine batters. He has been hit for only three runs in the 29 innings he has pitched so far. Taiwan will face Cuba in the final after the Cubans overcame the United States 6-1 in the other semi-final.
