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.Molesey and Imperial College surged into the final of the Visitors' Challenge Cup at Henley after a battle royal with the Army. Imperialsupplied the German and Australian internationals Jan Herzog at three and Richard Wearne at stroke, while Molesey's half consisted of the 1992 Olympic champions Jonny and Greg Searle.
Experience told in a race which was led off the start by the Army, who extended their lead to a length at the Barrier and were three-quarters of a length up after three-quarters of a mile. But after the mile, Molesey stormed through to win.
Today's grand final is between the Dutch national eight, who beat Germany yesterday, and Britain, who made short work of the Marine Technical University of St Petersburg, Russia. The final of the women's eights is between Princeton Training Center of the US and the Dutch national eight. The British crew lost to the Americans yesterday.
Britain's World Cup medallists Matt Wells and Steve Rowbotham beat Zsolt Hirling and Tamas Varga, the Hungarian world lightweight champions, in the double sculls. Wells and Rowbotham's time to Fawley equalled the record set in 1995.
