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.Danoli was giving vets cause for optimism yesterday as he progressed from major surgery to mend the damaged leg that threatens to end his racing career.
Ireland's favourite jumper, injured as he landed the Aintree Hurdle on Saturday, has pleased surgeons at Liverpool's Leahurst Veterinary College and is responding well to the operation on his off-fore fetlock joint.
Goretti Foley, wife of the horse's trainer, Tom, said: "The vets have fallen in love with him. He can be quite difficult but he is proving easy to get on with.
"The most important thing is that he doesn't pick up an infection and so far there are no traces, but it will take a week before we know for sure."
n Mark Perrett, knocked unconscious in a fall at Worcester on Wednesday, will be out of action for three weeks.
