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.

FRANCE stood first and second both in the British and the overall 50ft World Cup yesterday, writes Stuart Alexander from Cowes. Pierre Mass and Betrand Pace, in Corum Saphir, delivered a third and a first place in the last two races.

Overall, Marc Pajot in Citroen leads from Corum, while Britain's Graham Walker in Indulgence slipped from second in the standings to fifth when scoring a fifth and a seventh.

The 150-mile off-shore race of the Two Ton World Cup was won by the New Zealander Neville Crichton in Shockwave.
