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.Pete Reed and Andy Triggs-Hodge have been given the chance to make it 14th time lucky when they take on the dominant New Zealand pair of Eric Murray and Hamish Bond at next month's World Championships in Bled, Slovenia.
The Britons, 2008 Olympic champions as part of the four, lost their 13th consecutive race to the Kiwi world champions at the Lucerne World Cup regatta this month. But the GB team coach Jürgen Grobler has decided to keep them in the pair for now and has left the four that took gold in Lucerne – Matt Langridge, Ric Egington, Tom James and Alex Gregory – in place for the worlds, which double up as the main Olympic qualification regatta.
Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins will defend their world title in the double, while a strong GB adaptive contingent will be led by the world and Paralympic single scull champion Tom Aggar.
