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.

FIERCE criticism was heaped on the rowing course at Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham, yesterday after England regained the Legrand World Freshwater Championship by virtue of having only two anglers failing to catch. With more than half the anglers failing to catch a fish over the two days, team captains were united in condemning the water. Bob Nudd, of Great Yeldham, Essex, won the individual title for the third time in five years.

LEGRAND WORLD FRESHWATER CHAMPIONSHIPS (Nottingham): 1 England 92pts; 2 France 96; 3 Italy 117; 4 Portugal 131. Selected: 13 Wales 208; 15 Ireland 232; 21 Scotland 252. Individual: 1 B Nudd (Eng) 2pts; 2 R Stronck (Lux) 4; 3 J J Chaumet (Fr) 5.
