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.

Henry Cecil is to resist running Bosra Sham in the $4m Dubai World Cup to concentrate her campaign on Europe this season. The filly's emphatic defeat of Halling in last year's Champion Stakes earned her a higher rating than any other European or North American performer over the World Cup distance in the International Classifications. But even without her, the mile and a quarter dirt-track contest is still guaranteed top-class representation with the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner, Helissio, already acclimatising in Dubai.

British hopes are expected to be carried by Bijou D'Inde, also already in Dubai, as well as Singspiel and Even Top.
