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.Ben Ainslie, just as part of lining himself up for a fifth Olympic medal and a fourth consecutive gold, is in unstoppable form at the world championship regatta being staged for the Finn singlehanders in Falmouth.
On the third day he scored two straight wins to make it four wins and two third places in the first six races.
Second is former world champion and great rival Ed Wright, third another Briton, Andrew Mills, and absent, in Venice sailing for the Koreans in the America’s Cup World Series, is Giles Scott, who just over a week ago pipped Ainslie for the UK national championship.
It leaves the rival countries staring at an avalanche of opposition. Four more races are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday ahead of the medal decider for the top 10. Ainslie already has a 10-point margin over Wright.
