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.

Even Top, one of five British runners in next Saturday's Dubai World Cup, worked with his lead-horse, Time For Action, at Nad Al Sheba yesterday morning. The 2,000 Guineas second, trained by Mark Tompkins, worked seven furlongs under Richard Hills, quickening the tempo nearing the line.

Michael Stoute's Japan Cup winner, Singspiel, the mount of Jerry Bailey in the world's richest race, had a relaxed morning's exercise. It was a similar story for Mark Johnston's Bijou D'Inde, who was merely required to do a steady canter round the course ahead of stablemate Gothenberg.

Clive Brittain's Luso limbered up with a canter over a mile with Needle Gun, who is earmarked for the World Cup reserve race, the Dubai Duty Free, along with Gothenberg.
