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.David Carter, who underwent a brain operation just over two months ago, was lying joint second, one shot off the first-round lead at the Cannes Open yesterday after returning a three-under-par 68.
The Briton, who had an operation to remove fluid from the brain after collapsing two days before the the Dubai Desert Classic, said he felt fine and was "back in business", but he is troubled by short-term memory loss.
"I had to ask the caddie the names of my playing partners in the pro- am soon after they told me them because I tend to forget things from five minutes ago," he said. "But I got the thinking side of my game right, the thing that I was most worried I'd forgotten."
Carter had birdies at the 10th, 13th and 17th to finish alongside Britain's Paul Broadhurst and Stuart Cage, and the Dutchman Rolf Muntz. They trail New Zealand's Stephen Scahill.
