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.

Men's Tennis: It's tears for both men as the gravity of the moment sinks in.  For Del Potro, the Argentinian gave it his all but on this occasion it wasn't enough to overcome the mentally and physically resilient Andy Murray. The Scotsman has defended his 2012 title and adds a fifth gold to Team GB's medal tally on day nine.

Laura Muir has just put in a fantastic 4.04.16 minute run in the 1,500m to book herself a spot in the final. Brilliant effort from the Briton.

Men's Gymnastics: China's You Hao scores a total of 15.400, having been awarded  7 for difficulty and 8.4 for execution. Greece's Eleftherios Petrounias, and the world champion, up next.

Men's Gymnastics: Petrounias sets the benchmark! He's awarded a score of 16.000 dead. Absolutely outstanding! He'll be the man to beat.

Women's Gymnastics: America's second competitor, Lauren Hernandez, takes to the beam. It's pretty flawless - there was a slight wobble following a front somersault mid-routine - and she stands to score well. Credit to Bile who was stood on the sideline throughout cheering her fellow American on.

Women's Gymnastics: It seems the French have put an appeal in - hence the hold up.

Men's Omnium: Mark Cavendish is in action in the velodrome as he looks for gold. He's well into his flying sprint now as part of the Omnium's penultimate event. He clocks in at 12.96 secs which puts him into second place overall and currently trails 16 points behind Italy's Elia Viviani.
