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.Sting and Steve Davis pit their wits against Garry Kasparov at a celebrity tournament in west London yesterday to promote awareness of the inherited condition, Fragile X syndrome, writes William Hartston.
The world's chess champion wandered around an obstacle course of 25 boards, on each of which he faced a team of four players consulting over moves. Five minutes before play began, someone bought a copy of a book entitled "How to Beat Garry Kasparov", but eventually even the writers' team, led by Julian Barnes, lapsed into silence after beginning in a spirit of intellectual investigation.
