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.Colin McRae, the overnight leader, rolled his car twice in three stages in yesterday's last day of the Cyprus Rally, slipped to sixth place and handed victory to Marcus Gronholm.
"It was raining heavily when we rolled a second time," said McRae. "I was driving quite tidily but just got caught out." Gronholm, in a Peugeot, finished 56.8 seconds ahead of Richard Burns, with Tommi Makinen 2.2sec further back in third. Gronholm moves to 31 points in the championship, with Gilles Panizzi second on 20.
A tense final stage battle fell to Richard Burns after Subaru's Tommi Makinen spun, allowing Burns to secure Peugeot's fourth one-two finish in a row.
Burns said: "Colin was strong here but you also have to be strong not to make mistakes. "I had a lot to learn when I started this rally and I drove with that in mind. It's a fantastic result for the team."
