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.

Today's meetings at Haydock and Huntingdon depend on early morning inspections with the cold snap forecast to last until at least the weekend.

Today's meetings at Haydock and Huntingdon depend on early morning inspections with the cold snap forecast to last until at least the weekend.

Prospects for Newcastle on Saturday are described as "very bleak" and there will be an inspection there at 1pm today, but Chepstow are more confident of racing on Saturday as they could have raced yesterday.

Snow still threatens Kempton's two-day meeting, which starts tomorrow, but officials are hopeful that Saturday's card, which features the £100,000 Racing Post Chase, will beat the weather.

* Southwell will stage an extra all-weather meeting on Saturday starting at 1.30.
