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.Christian Malcolm failed in his bid to win a medal in the 200m at the World Championships in Edmonton after he finished fifth in an incredibly close race.
Olympic champion Konstadinos Kederis took the gold, with Christopher Williams of Jamaica was awarded the silver, with Kim Collins of St. Kitts and Nevis and Shawn Crawford of the United States both getting bronze medals. All three were timed in 20.20.
Malcolm - who some people had been tipping for the gold - was too upset to speak to reporters after the race but later said that he was "gutted" and insisted his time to win a gold would come, fellow Briton Marlon Devonish finished last.
In the women's 800m, Kelly Holmes booked a place in the semi-final with an apparently comfortable second place in her heat.
