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.

Men's team pursuit: BRITAIN TAKE GOLD!

Britain's all-time greatest Olympians:

Samuel Lovett12 August 2016 23:49

​Women's Heptathlon: With Ennis-Hill in second and KTJ in sixth, there's still one more event to come for this evening. The 200m is expected to get underway in the next 20 minutes or so and both Britons will be hoping they can put the disappointment of the shot-put behind them as they look to knock Belgium's Nafi Thiam off the top spot.

Samuel Lovett13 August 2016 01:55

Men's Long Jump: It's another foul from Rutherford second time round. Despite making a small adjustment to his run-up, having moved the marker back ever so slightly, it still wasn't enough. The pressure is really on now for the defending champion...

Samuel Lovett13 August 2016 02:00

​Women's 200m backstroke: USA's Madeline Dirado wins gold in the 200m backstroke - the first swim of the evening. Hungary's Katinka Hosszu had been down to take the top spot on the podium but has been pipped to it by the American who won by 0.06 seconds.

Samuel Lovett13 August 2016 02:12

Men's 100m Butterly: The Le Clos v Phelps rivalry is back in full-swing. It's a weak start from the American but can he turn it back?

Samuel Lovett13 August 2016 02:14

Last night's swimming action saw Michael Phelps compete and NOT win. It proved to be a crazy race that saw three silver medallists and Singapore's first ever gold medal, and there's a remarkable story behind the 21-year-old winner, Joseph Schooling:

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Gary and Paul O'Donnell 

Jack de Menezes13 August 2016 15:06

Women's heptathlon: Katarina Johnson-Thompson needs an impressive showing in the long jump today, the event that saw her hopes of gold at the world championships earlier this year die dramatically as she recorded three consecutive no jumps. She's on the board immediately this time with a solid 6.51m, although her personal best is a much bigger 6.93m.
