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.

IOC officials have returned to London to check on preparations for the 2012 Olympics. The International Olympic Committee's coordination commission will hold three days of meetings with organisers to check progress with less than two years to go before the Games. Officials will visit some of the venues under construction. It is the seventh visit by the IOC commission since London was awarded the Games in 2005.

Organisers have said 75 per cent of the construction is complete and the main venues are on track to be finished next year.
