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 future of Formula One should finally be resolved by the end of the next week.
A new Concorde Agreement, the commercial document that governs the sport, is due to be signed by the FIA, Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One Association and all 13 teams due to compete from next year.
The situation would bring to a close months of wrangling between motor sport's world governing body - primarily outgoing president Max Mosley - and the Formula One Teams' Association.
A copy of the proposed new agreement has been sent to the World Motor Sport Council for their consideration, and if ratified, F1 will have peace at last.
A statement from the FIA read: "Subject to the approval of the WMSC and on receipt of confirmation that a satisfactory cost-reduction agreement is in place, the new Concorde Agreement should be ready for signature at the end of next week."
