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.ANDERS NIELSEN, whose season has been blighted by injury, surprisingly reached the semi-finals of the European Championships for the second successive time in 's Hertogenbosch yesterday, writes James Leigh.
The unseeded England No 2 also recovered from the disappointment of losing a substantial second-game lead to win 15-9, 14-18, 15-8 against Jeroen van Dijk, of the Netherlands. 'I wasn't so much tired as edgy. When I was within sight of a medal I tightened up,' he said.
Later England became sure of two more medals when Gill Clark and Julie Bradbury reached the semi-finals of the women's doubles and Simon Archer and Chris Hunt the same stage of the men's doubles.
