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.

Chris Law opened his defence of the third Hoya Lymington Cup with four wins but the 45-year-old world-ranked No 5 then went down to the 18-year-old, 107th ranked, James Spithill. He also lost the final match of the day in blustery 25-knot winds to Britain's up and coming Andy Green as New Zealand's Gavin Brady took a 6-0 lead.

Belgium, Scandinavia, Spain, and the Netherlands with two teams, will contest the Commodores' Cup against two teams each from England and Scotland off Cowes in July.
