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.British driver Paul Green and his navigator Matthew Harrison were in a serious condition yesterday after being involved in an accident in Argentina on the first stage of the Dakar rally. Both drivers are in hospital in the city of Santa Rosa after their vehicle overturned during Saturday's stage, which started in Buenos Aires.
"Green is suffering from a blow to the thorax and spine, he has been detained since 3 January with artificial breathing," Juan Jose San Emerito, head of the hospital's intensive care unit, said. "His situation is serious but with a favourable outlook, although with this type of injury can only be judged by what happens over several days as complications can occur. Harrison's [condition] is serious and the situation has not changed."
The Dakar rally was cancelled last year because of fears of terrorism in Mauritania. This year it is being held in Argentina and Chile.
