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.Steve Redgrave will head the Great Britain team in the coxless fours at the World Cup Regatta at Munich in June, writes Hugh Matheson. He will once again join Matthew Pinsent along with James Cracknell and Tim Foster, who has displaced last year's team member, Ed Coode.
The coxless four - World Championship winners in 1997 and 1998 - have been reunited for an Olympic bid. Foster, who was removed from the boat last season after suffering a back injury, returns, with Coode probably joining Greg Searle in the coxless pair, which has also qualified for the Sydney Games.
After the trials which took place in Nottingham last week, the rowing coach of Britain, Jürgen Grobler, said he had "no choice but to include Tim".
"I am delighted with the way the squad has developed over the winter," he added. "I have never seen the standard so high in British rowing."
