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.

The governing body of international motor sport, the FIA, has blamed the Ligier team for the fire which enveloped Pedro Diniz's car at the Argentinian Grand Prix on 7 April and warned it would take disciplinary action in future incidents. The FIA said investigations showed Ligier had failed to maintain refuelling equipment properly.

Giancarlo Fisichella, of Italy, will drive a Minardi car in Sunday's European Formula One Grand Prix, replacing the young Brazilian Tarso Marques who had been driving with the Italian team in the two previous championship races in Brazil and Argentina.
